Not sure they are more sensitive but it will definitely make D worse if you are sensitive.

When a banana ripens the starches turn to fructose which can cause problems for many IBSers.

Syl,
Can you give me an example of what you eat in a day if you are a fructose absorber and have IBS?
Thanks

I have been eating gluten free, dairy free, nut free bars that are made with brown rice syrup, brown rice flakes, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, evaporated cane juice, dried cranberries, fig paste, date paste. Obviously-- some of these things are high in fructose. Does anyone know of a bar or easy snack (other than lots of bread which I am already eating) that is easy to carry around and requires no preparation. I am a student and I would like to have a snack on hand during class. I really suspect that I might be a fructose malabsorber because most fruit upsets my stomach.

Hi Penny
There is a link in my signature to a detailed medical article on fructose malabsorption and IBS. In this article figure 2 contains a table of favorable and unfavorable foods. I follow the advice in that table closely as well as following the EFI diet.
I hope this helps. Ask more questions if you need to  Oh and tell us if it makes a difference.
