Try limiting your fruit to kiwi, slightly ripe bananas and citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, etc for 3-4 weeks. Don't eat apples, pears, mangos, papaya or melons OR any foods or drinks containing juices from these fruits. Also, remove honey and all foods containing honey, HFCS, molasses and syrups from your diet. Be especially careful with commercial sauces, particularly sweet sauces, because they usually contain fruit juices or other high fructose food products. Also, don't eat fruits like peaches, cherries and plum which contain the sugar sorbitol. This sugar exacerbates fructose problems
If you have problems with fructose you should notice difference within a couple of weeks on this diet if you are very strict about eliminating high fructose foods from your diet. AND if a food tastes quite sweet then it likely contains excess fructose. Fructose is the sweetest known sugar. It is nearly twice as sweet as white sugar.
I love and crave sweet things. And now that I have my fructose problem under control I crave sweet things even more  Oh well – although I still have the cravings for sweet things I don't have the bloating, gas and pain that comes from eating high fructose foods.
Good luck
