Fructose malabsorption?

July 21, 2010

I will be having a breath test in a few weeks for bacterial overgrowth and

fructose intolerance. Just wondering if anyone else on SCD has fructose

intolerance? Life will not be easy on SCD if I test positive for fructose

intolerance. I have been trying to eliminate honey and fruits from my diet the

past day or two but it is hard! I just can't figure out why my bowels will not

settle down. If I am negative for these, I am going to inquire about surgery

because I have terrible pelvic pain (burning pain) constantly and it hurts worse

when I have D. All my tests come back negative (colonoscopy said very, very

mild Crohn's; ultrasounds do not find anything) so I am thinking maybe scar

tissue or endometriosis might cause the pain and loose bowels? I am sick of it,

been dealing with this for almost two years and no one wants to operate because

they don't " SEE " anything on their tests. This makes me think it is either

bacterial or scar tissue.

Thoughts, advice?

Thanks, I love this group!

Hi ,

Have you had extensive stool testing? To check for Ova, parasites, funghi,

bacteria etc..?

Also, have you looked into Vulvodunia?

Maybe get an alternatively minded GYN doc that deals with Pelvic Floor type

dysfunction?

I would look into this stuff before I would opt for surgery.

I chose not to do the FI test..

I don't eat honey and not too much fruit.. Do you think it can be a low stomach

acid issue? Do digestive enzymes help you tolerate fruits more?
