I believe I have the same thing, and if its true, your diet and mine will have to change considerably. Heres a link to information on the condition.

I notice every time I eat something that contains things like High Fructose Corn syrup, mannitol, sorbitol, fructose, fructans, I have loose stools and if I eat alot, I can get violently ill.
"What are FODMAPs?
FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides, And Polyols) are short-chain carbohydrates with two caracteristic effects on digestion:
1. they are osmotic active substances - they drag water into intestine and may cause diarrhea; 2. they are fermented by intestinal bacteria, what can yield gas and irritant by-products.
FODMAPs include:
* oligosaccharides: fructans (inulin, fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) or oligofructose), galactans, and raffinose; * disaccharides: lactose, sucrose; * monosaccharides: fructose; * polyols: sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, isomalt, erithrytol, arabitol, erythritol, glycol, glycerol, lactitol, ribitoll.
Who Can Benefit from Low Sugar Diet?
People diagnosed with IBS, lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption (Dietary Fructose Intolerance - DFI), Crohn's disease, chronic diarrhea, toddler's diarrhea, and those with 'indigestion', 'dyspepsia', unexplained bloating, or irregular bowels may all benefit from low sugar (FODMAPs) diet. FODMAP diet may also be a way to lose weight in obese but otherwise healthy people."
