Yes - there is a sorbitol malabsorption. Also, sorbitol affects fructose absorption from the GI tract too. You can read about it in this article.

A recent study showed that less than 10% of IBS suffers and those with functional bowel complaints absorb the sugars sorbitol, fructose and lactose normally.
