Comprehensive Medical Consult on Fructose Intolerance

The fructose intolerance or fructose malabsorption is a common cause of indigestion. It can occur throughout life and can be more or less pronounced. The reason is usually acquired deficiency of a transport protein in the small intestine (GLUT-5). As a result fructose or fruit sugar can not be absorbed adequately from the small intestine. The remaining fructose in the intestine moves into the large intestine and is digested by the bacteria there. There is an increase in intestinal gas formation, flatulence and diarrhea.

The symptoms of fructose intolerance are varied: in addition to nausea, abdominal sounds, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, deficiency with susceptibility to infections can occur, depression and  headaches.

The path to diagnosis is often lengthy. With a fruit sugar intolerance a lot of food choices need to be changed.
