Fructose intolerance or fructose malabsorption<\/h2>\n\n

A distinction is made between hereditary (inherited) fructose intolerance<\/strong> and fructose malabsorption<\/strong>.\nIn hereditary fructose intolerance<\/a>, there is a problem with fructose processing from the start of complementary feeding, which means that this form no longer develops in adulthood.\nOn the nmi portal, we only talk about fructose malabsorption.\nIn this form, fructose is not absorbed properly, which leads to symptoms.\nAs soon as symptoms occur, we speak of intestinal (digestive) fructose intolerance. <\/p>\n\n

To-dos after the diagnosis<\/h2>\n\n

First of all, you should make an appointment with a state-approved nutritionist <\/a>who is familiar with food intolerances.\nA doctor should also check whether you have any other intolerances. <\/p>\n\n

Keep a symptom and food diary<\/h3>\n\n

It is very important to keep a so-called symptom and food diary<\/strong>.\nThis makes it much easier for the treating doctors or nutritionists to narrow down the symptoms.\nSuch a diary is useful because the symptoms can often occur with a time delay (several hours). As a result, it is often impossible to recognize the correct connection between food and symptoms. In practice, this is a major problem, as many sufferers associate their symptoms with food, which often has nothing to do with their symptoms. Important: In the case of fructose intolerance, symptoms do not occur immediately after eating, but only once the fructose has reached the large intestine. This takes between 20 minutes and several hours.<\/p>\n\n
