Heather gives a list of SF foods generally suitable for IBSers. I don't eat the applesauce, mango, papayas, soy, mushrooms, rutabagas or turnips either because the IF or the excess fructose give me problems. Also I can eat some varities of pumpkin and squash while other varieties contain too much excess fructose or IF for me. Generally speaking acorn squash seems to be okay while spaghetti squash is a problem. Finally, I limit my consumption of wheat based products such as pasta, bread, crackers, buns, etc to less than the equivalent of 4 slices of bread per day. You may find you have to reduce it even further.
While berries and pineapple are on the okay list of fruits for fructose malabsorbers, I find that I have to be very careful how I eat them because alone they contain more IF than SF. Eaten alone they give me serious discomfort. I can tolerate a tablespoon or two of berries with my oatmeal but anymore and I begin to feel discomfort the next day.
I hope this helps

Re: did anyone get D from switching to the fructose malabsorption diet?
