I see. But if I was always FM but had no symptoms, ie no bloating, then how is that different from normal individuals, ie can it wreak havoc without even causing symptoms?
I may experiment with apples, I never used to eat anything else from that column. But fructans are 100% certain to be causing a lot of bloating for me and bread had been a staple all my life.
