HI! It is probably true that you are Fructose Intolerant, since most IBS-D sufferers are. It is easy to be tested, non- invasive and accurate just like Lactose intolerant testing. Have you taken the Hydrogen Breath Test? It is worth the effort to find a center that does it. I'm Lactose, Fructose Intolerant and recently learned that I am Histamine Intolerant. That was easy, too. I am IBS-D and since learning about the Histamine Intolerance, I've been able to control all my IBS issues with diet and 1 over the counter antihistamine tablet daily that lasts for 24 hours. What was amazing to me was that the antihistamine addition made a huge difference in a matter of a few days! You will want to read about the difference betw Fructose Intolerance and Malabsorption. It's less likely that you have the genetic malabsorption but the intolerance of fructose is very common because of the way our food is sweetened with the cheapest ingredient, High Fructose Corn Syrup. It is a disaster of IBS-D. Read this: http://www.foodintol.com/sugar.asp I would be happy to help you find more worthwhile articles. I am trained as a Genetic Counselor and Educator and I've had IBS a LONG time. I'm still learning because the research is always updating the subject. Take Care, Eileen
