Does anyone have fructose malabsoroption? I have it quite bad to the extent I find it tougher than lactose intolerance.
Things like apples (always), mangoes (always), watermelon (always), bananas (often) are a complete nightmare - I always feel very bloated, have terrible skin the next few days, headache, intense diarrhea, noisy tummy and even depressed (surprisingly this can happen) so it's almost like a hangover or even worse. I've heard it's to do with having fewer fructose receptors in the gut than "normal people"..
Once I figured out I was reacting to fructose, I've cut out any cakes/biscuits containing fructose as well as apples, mangoes (i.e. high frucose fruits). It makes sense that it's fructose I'm reacting to as things like honeydew melon and berries (low fructose fruits) I'm usually fine with.
Has anyone been able to "cure" this with supplements or by avoidance followed by slight reintroduction? or any other ways? :(
