Thanks for the links. I will definitely read them.
One thing that puzzled me for awhile was how fructose might play a role in C given that in high quantities it is known to be an osmotic laxative producing D. Now we know methane gas in the colon increases C for those with IBS-C and fructose can be fermented by methogens to produce methane. It is quite possible that excess fructose that passes to the colon in IBS-Cers with fructose malabsorption might be fermented by methogens increasing C. Just speculation on my part
Have a great weekend.
