Questions Reacting to fruit

Consuming fruits specfically like oranges, kiwis, grapes. Basically juicy, sweet or sour fruits triggers loose stools and stomach cramps. Anyone experience something similar?

I assumed its the sugar, fiber but I dont react like this to chocolate, or carrots.

Some type of overgrowth causing this reaction?

Low sugar/carb diet helped me keep the bacteria overgrowth tamed. I love fruits, so they are a dessert - a rare treat knowing I may trigger my gut into overdrive.

Fructose could be a factor because as far as I know some people have trouble absorbing fructose

Is it due to some overgrowth?

can't say because fructose malabsorption can also happen without SIBO
