I used to eat apples, pealed and applesauce, but the board made me so scared of eating them because of the "fructose" levels, I gave them up. I used to love to eat a peeled apple with a little peanut butter or sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar.

Same here. Do we really have to have this fructose scare? Is Syl the only one who does not eat certain fruits because of fructose ?(don't mean to single you out, Syl, but I know that you know you have FI). But these posts were the ones that created this fructose terror in me.

I have cut out artichokes, mango, papaya, peeled apples, applesauce, all pit fruits (like nectarines), and limited sweet potatoes and carrots because of the fructun chains.

Do we really have to be this strict? I will be if it helps...but I don't want to be if it's just the anxiety of it all.

I guess I don't understand if all people with IBS should limit fructose (which studies do say is difficult for us to digest) or is just some of the people with IBS?????

I don't mean to sound like a trouble maker, I'm just trying to figure all this out.
