Thank you Cyndy. I do not follow a low fructose diet. I avoid fructose in drinks and drink no juice or pop (usually) but I eat all the fruits and veggies I want. I avoid HFCS and fruit juice but it is as much for weight issues as for health. I believe the fiber in fruits and veggies helps metabolize the fructose. That is something learned from weight loss advice not IBS advice. I have never felt a special issue with fructose. I eat all fruits and veggies but eat only limited amounts of grapes, pears, melons; but large amounts of raisins. I am not gas free now but have been stable in the past. I am bloat and gas free in summer in the garden so my continued issues the rest of the year must have a lot to do with other factors than just food.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
