I get cramping and diarrhea within an hour of fructose consumption. I was fasting because of reaction to sorbitol in food, and hadn't eaten anything much in 2 days. One gatorade at 11pm and within minutes was a bombshell. I started avoiding sugar and fruit and found relief. People with dietary fructose intolerance can have "some" if it is along with other foods to dilute it. But eaten alone...it is very laxative in the intolerant person. When I looked this up? -- I found 1 in 3 people have some degree of digestive fructose intolerance! In fact it is implicated in IBS now as a trigger. This explains why for my whole life I could not tolerate Pears and Apples, esp juice of either. These two fruits have the highest fructose content on charts.

I do think eating every few hours a balance is supposed to help?
Dr Smith I am not sure the specific doc but I saw an allergist and holistic MD who did mine.
May I ask you all how you figured out for example Mrs D fructose was a problem and when you say problem what do you mean in terms of symptoms?
