Help With Getting Info On Fructose Malabsoption/intolerance

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with finding sources of good information about fructose malabsorption. My natural practitioner thinks that I may have this and I would like to request that my midwife order the hydrogen breath test, but she thinks that all my symptoms are just related to depression and not actual physical symptoms. So, I was hoping to be able to print out some legitimate research that I could bring in to her when I have my appointment on Wednesday.

I have been diagnosed with Celiac for about 20 months now and have tried eliminating all of the most common foods that other celiac sufferers tend to have a hard time with. I also have been on the SCD diet for 9 months and I have had very little - if any - improvement. I know that it's not from CC, because my house is completely gluten free and I call on all my products including toiletries to make sure they are gluten free.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi!

I have fructose intolerance and I had fructose intolerance breathing test. It was positive for me. The technician tested two gases, not just one. She tested me for methanol too. I had only methanol readings high. The technician gave me to drink 1 cup some special liquid and checked my breath every 20 minutes. I asked her how she will know if I have it. She told me that normal people will have spike in readings only ones at the beginning and fructose intolerant will have twice- Second time after 2-3 hours. Which is the truth. I tried to eat apple and I will have bloating twice, second time ( after 2-3 hours) stronger then ever. Maybe you can try to do the same. Or eat pear, or watermelon. You can find out by yourself, if you have it. With fructose malnutrition you can have bloating, gas, even diarrhea which is similar to celiac disease. When I went gluten free I started to react very strongly to fructose. It is possible that you have it too.

I dont have any material about fructose malnutrition or intolerance. I found all information on internet.

The single best thing is to join the 'fructose malabsoprtion australia' yahoo group. There you can get access to some recent research papers, including ones that involve scientific explanations of the process and research studies.

The best lists of fructose and fodmap content come from Monash University in Australia, as they are the ones actually testing food. Authors to look out for include Shepderd and Gibson. If there's conflicting info, always go with Monash and Shepherd first, as they are testing and publishing right now. Some of the other information on the net is old and incorrect.

Also, if you search fructose malabsorption here at celiac.com you will find posts from others looking in to the topic.

Yes, look at shepherd works - I happen to live near sues practice in Melbourne Australia. I got dietary advice from her dietitians when I was diagnosed Coeliac and then later with fructose malabsorption and lactose intolerance. Sue was diagnosed with celiac disease when she was studying her masters degree in Dietics.

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK. Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs. If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend...

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
