Fructose Intolerance

Has anyone out there discovered that they also have issues with fructose? I just read by doing some research on the internet that it is common with some people with Celiac to also have issues with fructose. I noticed years ago that fructose seem to be a problem for me before I ever realized that gluten was an issue. I also have a problem with casein. Sorbitol is like poison to me. So I'm thinking what am I supposed to eat!!!! If I didn't have to eat to survive I would just give up on eating. It is so stressful to me to try and eat ALL the right things. I have been pretty much gluten free for two months now and I'm not feeling any better. I'm just having a bad day today. I certainly don't want to feel sorry for myself, but if I would get to feeling good then I would eat whatever it is to continue to feel that way. I haven't felt normal (whatever that is) for over 20 years with my stomach.

Yes, I have. Have you cut out any other food groups ie dairy?

Another poster provided me with these links. They have info on fructose.

I found that eliminating apples and peaches, that I was eating a lot of, has helped a lot.

I'm now sticking to berries, cantaloupe, and bananas.

Still I think fruit in the amounts that I'm eating is troublesome to me. My plan, when I get organized, is to quit fruit for a few days, stick to just meat and green veggies, and re-try some other foods such as rice or legumes just to see if fruit has been the problem.

It's all a PITA, but I'm trying to look at my food experimentation as a challenge that I will eventually find a solution to. Hang in there!

Hi -

My 4 year old daughter was just diagnosed with fructose intolerance on top of celiac on top of her allergies to milk, eggs, soy, and several nuts. You can do this with a breath test and I suggest it. It is very stressful and I am so sorry that you are going through this too. It means (depending on how sensitive you are) to almost all fruits and a host of veggies, honey, and other sweeteners. I do know that if you have the fructose problem you may have to also give up sugar (some are OK with it some are not) and that we can substitute glucose/dextrose. But, if any readers out there are fructose intolerant, I would love to ask them some questions. Good luck.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By allis · Posted

      Hi folks, I have type 1 diabetes and was having some serious digestive symptoms about ten years ago, and my endocrinologist (who sees a lot of type 1s with celiac) told me to assume I was celiac and be gluten free from now on. I’ve been doing so since then, but my skin response to gluten products has been getting worse and worse so I was hoping to get a diagnosis. However, my general practitioner and my endo both told me that to get a celiac dx I would have to eat gluten for six weeks for the antibody test to work! That would make me so sick and unable to work! Is there any way to get a celiac dx through a combination of other tests? Should I give up on seeking a dx and just be more careful about skin contact? Thanks in advance ❤️

      Hi, Were you able to get a response from them? I have written to Nuts.com asking info. om how to they test, etc. I am awaiting a reply. And, my daughter is allergic to tree nuts, so we only buy their straightforward organic dried fruits sans any preservative/additives.

      Rectal pain

      By trents · Posted

      Not long before my celiac dx I was experiencing proctalgia fugax but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't been bothered with it in over 20 years.

      Rectal pain

      By Kmmmn · Posted

      Sorry, late to the party.  I started experiencing proctalgia fugax (sp), when I was about 16 - I am now 59.  This is a very painful spasm of what seems to be the sphincter muscle.  This almost always happens in the night and wakes me. For the first few decades this would usually happen around once a month on Sundays.  Very weird I know, but it was that regular at times you could set your watch by it.    In my 40's symptoms became less frequent.  I found that by essentially shoving an ice pack up my backside I could get some relief. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Celiac and the PF now occurs pretty much weekly, sometimes more often.  I only just came across this thread so as yet have not mentioned PF to my GI doctor (thought it was just a 'me' thing) but will next time I see him in March.  I feel for you, it is indeed crippling pain.  I am a teacher and I think I have had PF 2 or 3 times in the classroom and have had to call the office for cover until the symptoms and sweating subside.  Good luck.  Hope this helps in some way.

      Tapioca Intolerance?

      By Dulcita · Posted

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that companies that focus on gluten-free foods use a lot of tapioca. If a certain product doesn’t have any tapioca ingredients, they see no reason to list tapioca or its relatives in the “known allergens” or the “produced in a facility that also uses …..” statement — because it hasn’t been designated a known allergen.  They probably don’t even feel it necessary to apply the kind of Best Practices protocols (extra cleaning) to a production line that may have used tapioca in a previous product. So we may be ingesting tapioca when we are eating something, seemingly tapioca free, produced in a gluten-free dedicated facility. Really discouraging.
