Fructan is, if I trust internet definitions, a fructose polymer. Perhaps fructan sensitivity is an immune/whatever reaction to high fructose corn syrup, mis-directed at fructan due to its similar composite materials.
- tom_mellior 9y agoThis study was done in Norway. HFCS is pretty rare in Europe compared to the US. It's possible that it was present in the "fructan" treatment here, but if I had to bet, I'd bet it was unlikely.
- chrismanning 9y agoAlthough the study isn't about the FODMAPs generally, note that fructose itself is also a FODMAP (when present in larger quantities than glucose), and so could also cause similar symptoms.
