Deep dives

Understanding Fructose Intolerance

Fructose intolerance, also known as fructose malabsorption, is a condition that can cause a range of digestive issues, including bloating, gas, and cramping shortly after eating. This condition arises when the body struggles to absorb fructose, a type of sugar that is more fermentable in the intestines. When fructose is consumed in higher amounts than glucose, it may lead to fermentation by gut bacteria, producing gas and discomfort. Many factors, such as antibiotic use, celiac disease, and dietary choices, can contribute to this imbalance, affecting how the digestive system functions.
