Yeah Syl, now you see why I am confused! When I first started Heather's diet, I avoided HFCS in major quantities like in syrup, ketchup, and applesauce. I still eat the HFCS-free kinds, but sometimes they are not available so I will eat the regular. I had a turkey burger awhile ago at the diner with HFCS ketchup and I didn't have the gas afterwards. There has to be something in the bagels and the pretzels that reacts with me...it's weird b/c my husband bought one at a different place yesterday and I was okay after I ate it????? I am so confused. Would excess fructose from the strawberries cause it ? I'm going to give them a whirl again and eat them with another sf base like italian bread and see what happens. So you say that fructose sensitivity would cause a reaction even if you have just some HFCS? I hate trying to figure this out! I keep flip-flopping between gluten and fructose as culprits (ie., I get gas from oranges, haven't touched orange juice in over a year, gas from grapes..even a few). I ordered gluten free bagels recently just in case (a fortune  ) but I love bagels so if they taste good it will be worth it. Thanks. And thanks to everyone else who responded. Sorry to hear that some of you have the same miserable symptoms.
