You posted your question in the right place. I won't worry about the side comments by the non-believer cheering section. At least once a year the issue of fructose as an IBS triggers comes up and advocates on both sides restate their cases. Over the past few years the evidence that fructose/fructans can be IBS triggers for some individuals has been growing stronger. And over the years more IBSers on the board reduce their fructose/fructan consumption with positive results.
Your question was an excellent question. Keep them coming!
