New member with questions about Fructose Malabsorption

[Guest guest]

Hi. I have Sjogren's Syndrome but I'm joining because a friend and member of our

local Sjogren's support group also suffers terribly from RA. I am very concerned

because she has lost so much weight. I'm not sure she would join any group

online because she doesn't use the computer much.

I recently learned about fructose malabsorption and the restrictive diet has

helped my digestion problems tremendously. My friend has much the same issues,

only more severely, and I have been talking to her about malabsorption and how

we get so bloated and painful from eating.

I am 60 and live in the USA and it is hard to find doctors who know about

Fructose Malabsorption. I am wondering-----has anyone here tried the LOW FODMAP

(fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) diet

like I have?

Thank you.
