Fructose and IBS

[anthrax]

yep, fructose is really not good

Findings from two separate studies suggest that both fructose and fat in the diet may contribute to symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

IBS -- not to be confused with inflammatory bowel disease that includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease -- affects up to 15 percent of Americans. Symptoms are varied and can include diarrhea, bloating and constipation. The cause is often not clear.

I am sure this means the bad processed fructose in sweets and drinks, and fat that is bad (trans, saturated (overabundance).

Although I know someone with IBS who has problems with everything. She rarely eats-- and I would say that doesn't help either.
