We just a couple of Goji berry bushes for the garden. Apparently the grow well in our harsh climate. I asked myself the same question What I have found out so far is goji berries contain 5-6 time more glucose than fructose. From a fructose perspective the fruit and juice look safe. However, I have not tried either so I cannot speak from personal experience.
I don't eat many fruits even low excess fructose fruits because of their high insoluble fiber content. Too much insoluble fiber is a definite trigger for me. The only whole fruit I eat is semi-ripe bananas. I do extract the juice from low fructose fruits particularly berries to get the vitamins and antioxidants they contain. I put a couple of tbps of juice in the water I use to prepare oatmeal and I use it in sauces and drinks.
I believe you are predominantly IBS-C but I don't recall (it helps if you put that information in your signature). In a previous email you said that brown rice is the core of your diet. Here is something you might consider while you are experimenting. Rice is a cereal. Cereal bran is a form of insoluble fiber known to exacerbate symptoms in all IBS subtypes. The insoluble fiber in fruits and veggies are different and apparently they are not as problematic.
Good luck
