Hi,
I had several really bad bouts of gas earlier this year and got the idea that it was being caused by honey. Thinking that didn't make sense, I used an Internet search engine and found articles referring to problems some people have digesting fructose.
Today I've just read a message from Heather, on another thread, mentioning that dried fruit can cause problems for some people because of the concentrated levels of fructose.
I don't think it is necessary for me to avoid fructose altogether, but, like lactose, it is necessary to find a safe level.
To put the fructose levels into some sort of perspective, a banana is about 10% fructose, where as honey is around 40%.
Food for thought!
Ian
