A member asked:

Which food with carbohydrates are easier to digest for people with fructose intolerance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid fruits: Fructose is the main sugar in fruits (which is how they came about the name).Milk products have lactose, and most starchy foods like potatoes have complex carbohydrates.If you just read labels and stay away from fructose and raw fruits, you should be fine.
