I am very interested in the information you posted about fructose intolerance. After all these years and visits to the Mayo Clinic and GI Docs I have NEVER heard of this. I am starting to think this could be part of my problem, as I cannot seem to get rid of my gas unless I eat practically nothing, use Miralax at night and a glycerin suppository at least twice during the day. The only way I can get rid of gas, pain and bloating is to empty everything out of there...and despite my diet changes, I am horribly C and continue to have symptoms.
At this time I eat only plain proteins, rice, cooked non-gas producing vegetables (primarily mashed up spinach and pureed winter squash,) peanut butter (I was adding honey to it but have stopped), bananas and some papaya.
Fat and caffeine does not bother me at all and I know they are both supposed to be triggers for IBS.
I am totally lactose intolerant, I feel I have a problem with gluten (or could it be the fructans?), fiber and now I am wondering about fructose. To add to the complication, I have dry mouth syndrome so I chew a lot of gum. I know that sugarless gum has sorbitol in it so I try and chew more sugared than sugarless, but I am not sure if that is any better.
Syl, I am wondering what your diet looks like? Do you eat fruit? Do you eat gluten-containing products? I know you had D and I am C but I would really like to know how you manage your fructose intolerance in real life.
I had a Hydrogen Breath test for bacterial overgrowth, which my doc interpreted as negative. Is the fructose intolerance test different or can something about fructose be interpreted from the test I already had?
Thanks in advance.
