Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Diet and fructose malabsorption

Here is a link to a web site with some good information on fructose malabsorption particularly the table at the bottom of the web page. It gives foods safe to eat, eat in moderation and avoid. And here is another good web page at Boston University. The article linked to in my signature has some great information too but it is quite technical.

Here are some coments on your diet. I have made bold the problematic foods.

Cream Of Farina(original, brown sugar, and maple syrup)
almond drink (unsweetened and sweetened), sweet potatoes, mashed squash, birds eye frozen turnips and butternut squash, thomas' plain bagels. arnold white bread, flour tortillas, grilled chicken, cold cut turkey, Trader JOes water crackers, crumpets, and animal crackers, trader joes chocolate cat cookies, organic cocoa powder, cranberry juice (no fructose with beet sugar? is that ok), organic lemonade, zico coconut water (14 g of natural sugar ok with fructose sensitivity?), pillsbury biscuits, dried pineapple and papaya, pasta, chocolate mate tea, stevia, rice, fruit strips (with apple juice concentrate not really good right?), Trader JOes Pumpkin bread mix, peppermint candies and jelly beans, rice milk, sorbet, Trader JOes Gluten free waffles( fruit juice sweetener one of last ingredients)

I cannot tell about some of the commercial foods. It will depend on the ingredients. Apple and pear juice are frequently found in commercially prepared foods so you will have to read the label.
