Thank you Syl. As recommended I avoid dairy products, therefore, a lactose test wouldn't be required. However, fructose is more complicated. I do have problems with fruit; however, I'm not certain if it is the excess fructose or the insoluble fibre. Your advice to try the fructose test with honey/glucose-fructose syrup would help resolve that issue.
I have a feeling, however, that I may have undiagnosed celiac disease. Although I've been tested (blood test, not biopsy), I was avoiding wheat (following the FODMAP guidelines), and I know this can mask the disease. I'm planning on a trial of eliminating gluten to see if that improves my symptoms and looking into a biopsy. I realise that it is possible to have both celiac and IBS.
