Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Syl- drinks for fructose intolerance?

The range of commercially available juices and drinks with low fructose is rather limited. Citrus juices like orange and grapefruit juices are fine. More exotic juices like pomegranate, pineapple and most berry juices are okay too if you can find them as pure juices. Unfortunately, many exotic juices contain pear or apple juice to sweeten them. You have to read the label carefully.

I make concentrated raspberry, strawberry, blackberry or blueberry juice from fresh and frozen berries which I dilute with water and add some white sugar to sweeten it. I put the berries in a pot, let them thaw if frozen, add a tablespoon or so of water and heat until water just boils. Mash the berries and then strain through a cloth. Store the concentrated juice in the fridge and use as wanted. For example, sometimes I use it with sparkling water or soda. The carbonation does not bother me. Also, I add a tablespoon or two of juice to the water I use to make oatmeal in the morning

By the way - white corn syrup is fine. It is made solely from glucose. Again you have to read the label on corn syrup bottles to figure out which one is okay.

I hope this helps a bit.
