Fructose Intolerance and IBS Revisited

Sunday January 11, 2009

Last May, I wrote a blog about a single study that looked at the relationship between fructose intolerance and IBS. The results were surprising and prompted me to explore the subject further. You can see what I found out by reading “Fructose Intolerance and IBS”.

Coincidentally, the original blog received a reader comment just last week. Poke L writes the following about avoiding fructose:

"Wish more people knew about this…
It's made a HUGE impact in my life and four other people I've told.
One only needs to watch ingredients for a short while to re-learn what one can eat... then the diarrhea, cramping and feeling like crud are easily traced to single food items.
If you're not seeing improvement... then DOUBLE-CHECK... corn syrup is in everything from bread to candy and almost EVERY sauce."

So, there you have it, from someone who has been there. Maybe fructose intolerance is something you should check out.
