Fructose Intolerance
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Fructose intolerance is the body's difficulty in properly absorbing fructose, a sugar present in fruits, honey, and many foods, which causes digestive discomfort after eating it.
How it presents: it usually causes abdominal bloating, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, or nausea after eating foods rich in fructose.
When to seek care? If digestive discomfort recurs when eating fruit or sugary products, it is worth discussing it with a professional to identify the cause and avoid self-diagnosis.
Which specialist manages it? Gastroenterology, including pediatric gastroenterology in children, along with clinical nutrition and internal medicine, can study fructose intolerance and provide guidance on diet. Seeking professional support helps manage symptoms on a solid foundation.
