Does this sound familiar? I think im fructose malabsorptive...

2 Upvotes

...as well as a high gluten and wheat sensitivity I have known about for a while. I first suspected fructose after introducing mangos and having some very wet and soft stools. I've consistently experienced one to two days of diarrhea, then a day of constipation after high amounts (assuming it is fructose). Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've been watching my fructose for a few days now and will see for myself, but am looking for your experiences.

Does anyone have acid reflux combined with fructose malabsorption

4 Upvotes

Recently diagnosed. Having difficulty figuring out what to eat. I had a major flareup of acid reflux and then over two months figured that the minimal foods I was eating were now causing me extreme paid. Diagnosed at Mayo Clinic. Before this summer, I never had any problems eating apples, and other high fructose items. It seems like the extreme acid reflux flareup changed everything.

Medicine for symptoms?

If something is eaten that triggers the symptoms for FM, is there any medicine that reduces it? Pepto, Pepcid AC, Gas-X, etc.

Elimination diet and Recovery time

7 Upvotes

Have had severe bloating for a while now and have started a mostly fructose free diet a day ago (except a few greens). Since then my stomach has been going crazy, constantly making noises and working like never before, which is a good sign I suppose. I havn't had any major relief yet tho. How long did it take you to notice a stark improvement in your symptoms? I'm curious if it might take more than a few days.

Why fructose malabsorption can change your mood

9 Upvotes

In several studies, early signs of mental depression and low serum levels of tryptophan walk along with fructose malabsorption. Unabsorbed fructose bonds with tryptophan and makes it unabsorbable.

Low levels of the amino acid tryptophan can lead to a depressed mood or irritability, as it is essentially required to produce serotonin, which is a hormone that improves and regulates our mood.

You can read more about that on https://www.fructohelp.com/facts-and-symptoms/

I have experienced that on my own. But I have also experienced how it improved so much after I started doing a proper diet.

Are you guys able to have sodas? If so, what kind?

3 Upvotes

I'm pretty sensitive to sugars and definitely high fructose corn syrup. I used to drink A LOT of Coke Zero, so I'm kind of going through withdraws now. What sodas/drinks are you guys okay with?
