<p>restriction of FODMAPs has a good effect on IBS !!!
see study from Monash U, Melbourne.</p>

<p>poor absorp of &nbsp;FODMAPS is common to everyone!!!
if not absorb in small intestine... they ferment in large bowel.</p>

<p>FRUCTANS: &nbsp;from &nbsp;Jerusalem artichokes !!!</p>

<p><strong>GALACTANS: &nbsp;pulses and beans</strong>!!!</p>

<p>POLYOLS; &nbsp;<strong>berries</strong>, <strong>peas</strong>, cherries, &nbsp;<strong>APPLES</strong>, peaches, nectarines, AVOCADO,
<strong>mushrooms</strong>... also in <strong>artific. sweeteners</strong> !!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>FRUCTOSE: see wiki table in Fructose Malabsorption:
<strong>APPLES</strong>!!!! &nbsp;PEARS, <strong>HFCS</strong>, &nbsp;bad</p>

<p>LACTOSE: &nbsp;MILK &nbsp;forget it!
but note (butter:lactose is WATER soluble and most is removed when making butter!)</p>

<p>CHEESES: &nbsp;if fermented over 2 years then almost no lactose!
traditional Cheddar might contain 10% of lactose in whole milk &nbsp;but watch out for commercial cheese.</p>

<p>LOOK AT TABLE OF LACTOSE FOODS: butter: almost NONE!
same with cheddar cheese!</p>
