Sucrose is made up of fructose and glucose. In this form, fructose can be absorbed since fructose piggybacks on glucose during absorption.In normal circumstances in fructose malabsorbers the transporter wich takes fructose from the lumen of the gut into the body is missing. Sucrose malabsorption is rare. Doesn't mean you couldn't have it.Thirdly alcohol (wine) does contain fructose. Hard liquor without fruit juices and pop should be fine

Can you usually tolerate rice? Because even though rice is usually tolerated well by most, it could be a problem for some.

The small amount of fructose in jam shouldn't make you bloat up like you are pregnant. I suggest you try 4-5 glasses of tomato/fruit juice without sorbitol in them on top of a basic diet you know you can tolerate, perhaps plain broiled or baked chicken, for a few days and see if leads to blosating/ gas/ diarrhea to determine if you need a fructose test.

All veggies and fruits have fructose. Only in some fruits fructose may be blanced out by glucose so they may be less of a problem if some of the studies are to be believed. See the glucose and fructose content in fruits herehttp://www.thepaleodiet.com/sugars.htmI don't know my dietician thought sucrose might be a problem for fructose malansorbers. However I don't have a problem with sucrose. Maybe you could try Zelnorm specially if you suffer from C. It is supposed to be good for bloating,
