Is Fruit Sugar Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Fruit sugar, more accurately referred to as fructose, is a simple sugar or monosaccharide naturally occurring in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. Fructose is found in significant amounts in fruits, honey, root vegetables, and some sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup. Despite its natural occurrence, it is considered high FODMAP, meaning that in normal serving sizes, it can be difficult to digest for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms.
