Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Diet and fructose malabsorption

Sometimes the variety makes a difference. I can eat small amounts of butternut squash but not other squashes. I don't eat turnip so I cannot speak from experience. Personally I stay away from foods with soybean oil. The brown sugar should be fine. I would worry more about added spices and onion/garlic powder

I doubt if the all of the sugar in coconut water is fructose. Sometimes you have to try things to figure out what load of fructose you can tolerate. While the test tells you that you cannot handle a 25 gram load it is quite possible that you can handle a few grams of excess fructose. Unfortunately, you can only tell through trial and error.

I looked at the ingredients for the Synder's sourdough pretzel and they look fine. I couldn't find the nibblers. I doubt is salty foods plays much of a role in IBS.
