Re: Fructose Intolerance (malabsorption)

[Guest guest]

Are you using the U of Iowa diet or the less restrictive diet from

ADA Oct 2006 journal which is alot less restrictive? I have only

seen a few people for this and the last two also had gluten intol /

celiac which can cause temporary fructose intol. I am not sure why

more people have this problem, although I don't think it was tested

for much in the past and few hospitals test for it. There was an

article a few years ago showing that IBS sx can improve significantly

on low fructose diet, perhaps increased awareness.
