Yes,
Raffinose, fructose and whole grains cause me major problems too. Perhaps surprisingly, giving my malabsorption of specific carbohydrates, sugars and fibres, I'm more prone to IBS-C than IBS-D. How do you do with wheat (not whole grain) given your fructose malabsorption, and have you tried spelt? The most recent paper by Gibson et al suggests spelt as an alternative to wheat on the FODMAP diet. Personally I was a little surprised by this, given spelt is a distant relative of wheat, and according to the USDA, contains more fibre per 100g.
Thanks again, Sx
