fructose malabsorption

I realized rather quickly this last year that I can't eat cake. I don't know what is in it that makes me feel sick quickly. I know that I am sensitive to sugar. I have IBS. My stomach gets nauseous and I drink some soda to soothe it. I don't know what to do about it. I also suffer from depression. I found out that fructose malabsorption and depression may be linked. Fructose malabsorption I'm going to look into this a bit more. I've always hated apples because although they are healthy I feel like it has too much sugar for me and I get a headache. I always thought I was hypogycemic but this may be the real issue for me.

There has been a lot of press lately about the toxicity of sugar. I think I too am very sensitive to it and am trying to cut out all sugars except for fruit.
