It is a matter of learning how much excess fructose you tolerate. The average person can handle 25 or more grams. Others cannot handle 1 gram.

Generally speaking it seems that IBS suffers have difficulty with fermentable, poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates - particularly such things as fructose, lactose, sorbitol and raffinose (found in beans). Heather discusses these sugars in a variety of places on the web site and how they can exacerbate IBS symptoms.

Recent research suggests that the by-products produced by colonic bacteria that ferment these carbohydrates change GI motility. In other words, while these carbohydrates may not directly act as IBS triggers they can act as food for bacteria that can produce an IBS trigger.
