This area has received little research attention. And doctors and patients don&#8217;t pay much attention to GI symptoms any more.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>LAS VEGAS (Reuters Health)<\/strong> &#8211; Many patients with unexplained gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms have fructose intolerance, according to study findings presented Monday at the 66th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology.<\/p>\n<p>Unexplained bloating, flatus, and distension are common GI complaints. While much attention has been paid to lactose intolerance as a potential cause, fructose intolerance has received relatively little attention.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Young K. Choi and colleagues from the University of Iowa in Iowa City administered a fructose breath test to 219 patients with unexplained GI symptoms. The patients were also given a symptom questionnaire and assessed for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 80% of patients had a positive breath test, the researchers note. Furthermore, the fructose given during the test reproduced the GI symptoms of 58% of patients. Based on questionnaire results, 130 of 159 patients met ROME I criteria for IBS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were quite surprised to find such a high prevalence of fructose intolerance,&#8221; Dr. Choi told Reuters Health. &#8220;The results also suggest that many people with IBS have underlying fructose intolerance,&#8221; he added. However, &#8220;the patients we studied were referred to us by outlying centers, so it is hard to know the actual prevalence of fructose intolerance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fructose breath test is probably not performed at most community hospitals,&#8221; Dr. Choi noted. &#8220;The test is somewhat time-consuming, but relatively simple to perform.&#8221; Further studies are needed to better characterize the problem, he said. Until then, it is important for physicians to recognize the problem because institution of a low fructose diet may improve symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unrecognized fructose intolerance often underlies unexplained GI symptoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1299,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.1 -
