Why is Testing for Fructose Malabsorption Important?
The fact that people vary significantly in their ability to process fructose has only recently been understood. The issue has become more relevant in the last decade because of the changes to our diet. Whether you are consuming more fruit through fruit smoothies or eating more processed food the amount of fructose in the average diet has increased. Fructose malabsorption is commonly overlooked as a source of belly pain. Recent research seems to indicate that many IBS patients actually have fructose malabsorption and experience improvement of symptoms on a low fructose diet.
Do You Have Fructose Malabsorption?
Our bodies may be exposed to sugars like fructose in larger quantities than we can absorb. Fruits typically contain high levels of the sugar fructose. However, many foods contain fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. Check our list of foods that contain fructose.
