Fructose Intolerance and Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,In a visit to my GI Doc yesterday, she suggested that I might have a case of Fructose Intolerance which is causing my continued diarrhea, bloating, gassiness even while following SCD. I've already tested Lactose Intolerant and been treated for SIBO (bacterial overgrowth, small intestine.) I haven't seen major improvements to my gut issues (particularly gassiness, bloating, and discomfort) yet, so fructose is the next step.Doc mentioned fructose intolerance is on the rise, and she sees many IBS patients who test positive for it. There's some suspicion that it's a result of the massive consumption of High Fructose Corn Syrup (in soda, cookies, candy, etc.) Here's a link to a resource listing which fruits and veggies may be problematic for fructose-intolerant people:http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/digestive-health/nutrition/low-fructose-diet.pdfI am going to give it a try (meaning, eliminate high fructose fruits/veggies) and see what the results are. If anyone knows more about this, and would like to supplement my knowledge, I'm all ears :-)Thanks, Nina in MA
