Wow, so many responses!
A lot of people suggested that I might have a problem with corn, because of
all the fructose derived corn syrup. I did cut out all such products years
ago because of worrying about such things. I cut out other suspect foods
also, such as soy.
Other suggestions were to avoid products with fruit skins. Yeah, I
definitely realized I had that problem a couple of years ago. I especially
had problems withproducts containing red grapes skins (they contain a lot of
acid that can irritate the intestines). I did much better once I stopped
those products. I also think I have a problem with acid content. I
tolerate apple juice much better, without the added vitamin C.
I did get response from some people, who really DO have a fructose
intolerance. Wh
ile my symptoms don't exactly match, I'm going to cut out
major sources of fructose (i.e. fruit products) for now, and see how I do.
I (now) realize that there's even fructose in grains and vegetables, so I
may have decide to vary those also, but one step at a time. :)
Meanwhile, I did schedule a colonoscopy for about a month from now. It's
definitely not fun, but since my father had a long history of colitis, I
want to make sure there's no such problem, and in case my food avoidance
plan doesn't help.
Thanks all!
Mark
