Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. What is Fructose Malabsorption

Fructose malabsorption is a digestive disorder in which the small intestine has difficulty absorbing fructose, a natural sugar found in fruits, honey, and some vegetables.

2. Recognize the Signs

Symptoms of fructose malabsorption include bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, nausea, and cramping around or below the belly button. It can be triggered by conditions like celiac disease, disruptions to the gut microbiome from antibiotic use, excessive alcohol or fried food consumption, stress, and certain medications.

3. How to Address This Issue

Consider testing for bacterial or candida overgrowth. Once you know more, you can follow the CBO protocol, which includes steps such as using a natural enzyme to dissolve biofilm, introducing antimicrobials, restoring healthy bacteria, following an elimination-based diet, and gradually reintroducing foods in a balanced way.
