The list may serve only as the orientation, since absorption of fructose and other nutrients may vary considerably among individuals with FM, so everyone should make lists of not/allowed foods and their tolerable amounts, according to personal experience. In small children, fructose absorption often improves with age. Table: Foods – safe, to try, and to avoid in fructose malabsorption FOOD GROUP SAFE TO EAT TO TRY (IN MODERATION) TO AVOID SUGARS AND SWEETENERS Acesulfam potassium (Nutrinova, Sweet One, Sunnett, Ace-K, Acesulfame K), dextrin, erythritol, glucose (dextrose, glucodin), glycogen, maltodextrin (modified starch), moducal, trehalose. Barley malt syrup, brown rice syrup, brown sugar, corn syrup (if no fructose is added), grape syrup, maple syrup, sorghum syrup, sucrose (table or cane sugar). Sugar substitutes: dulcitol, isomalt, lactalol, lacticol, litesse, lycasin, maltitol, mannitol, saccharin (Sweet ‘n Low), sucanat, trimoline, xylitol. Agave syrup (in Tex-Mex foods, tequila, margaritas, soft drinks), caramel, Chinese rock sugar, corn syrup solids, fructose, fruit juice concentrate, golden syrup (cane syrup), High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), honey, invert sugar (treacle), [...]

What Are FODMAPs? FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, and Mono-saccharides, And Polyols) are short-chain carbohydrates that are: Osmotically active, so they, after ingesting, drag water from the intestinal vessels into the intestinal lumen, thus causing diarrhea Fermentable (degradable by intestinal bacteria yielding large amount of gases, like hydrogen or carbon dioxide, thus causing abdominal bloating FODMAPs include: Oligosaccharides: Fructans – chains of fructose with one glucose molecule on the end. Only minimal amounts of fructans may be absorbed in human intestine. They may interfere with absorption of fructose, thus aggravating symptoms in fructose malabsorption. Fructans-rich foods are: wheat (white bread, pasta, pastries, cookies), onions, and artichokes; other not commonly problematic foods with fructans are asparagus, leeks, garlic, chicory roots and chicory based coffee substitutes. Fructans with over 10 molecules of fructose in a chain are known as inulins and those with less than 10 fructoses are referred as fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) or oligofructose. Fructans cause problems mainly in fructose malabsorption. Galactans (like stacchyose and raffinose) are [...]
