This study was done in Norway. HFCS is pretty rare in Europe compared to the US. It's possible that it was present in the "fructan" treatment here, but if I had to bet, I'd bet it was unlikely.

Although the study isn't about the FODMAPs generally, note that fructose itself is also a FODMAP (when present in larger quantities than glucose), and so could also cause similar symptoms.
