fructose intolerance/malabsorption

I am not taking any enzymes but went off all sugars, fruits and fiber and I am finally off all meds! Also my A1C dropped from 6.1 to 5.7 in 2 months! that hasn't happened in years! Lost that 5 pounds of water weight and bloat and no PPI's. I discovered this after having LINX surgery. I found the book "The Fast Start Diet for Gerd" changed my life!

Sorry the name of the book Is "Fast Tract Digestion" by Norman Robillard. There is one for Heartburn and one for IBS

Thank you.

I am gluten, dairy, and fructose intolerant. I am to the point that I am living on chicken, steak, hamburger, salmon, cod, pork chops, tiny amounts of broccoli, zucchini, or green beans, lettuce, avocado, instant coffee. That is what I eat 3 times a day every day. My body tolerates nothing else. Does anyone know of any medication to help in this situation? I have severe stomach pain, belching diarrhea if I eat anything else. Do you know of any help for me?

Have you been to see a gastroenterologist? I have this too and was diagnosed with SIBO (small intestin bacteria overgrowth). I was given an RX for Xifaxan for two weeks and felt do much better. Now I can have those things but I try to only have in moderation. When/if it comes back, I start the medication again. It won't cure you but it will help a lot if you are in distress.

Yes, I have seen multiple gastro doctors to no avail; they don't know how to deal with my issues. I have been tested for bacteria but was negative. I am glad you are finding relief.

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation..I have a very narrow window of thing I can tolerate.. I drink Vanilla PLANT based Ensure twice a day.. fava pea protein.. can't do whey protein ... they taste good and keep my numbers ..Vit D etc ok.. you can order them off Amazon..I also can eat Musselman's apples sauce .. no fructose. Walmart has they own brand of pears which have no fructose..pear 1/2s.. I ate them for over a year until I just burned out.. it's tough situation..I understand..and I'm going to pray for you!!

Thank you for your reply. I will check on the Ensure. So far I have not found Ensure that I am able to use. I am surprised you can eat applesauce as apples are high in fructose. Sometimes there is no explanation why one food that is low in fructose will bother a person and one that is high might be ok. Very puzzling.

I googled that later and found out about the fructose!! I' sorry it was bad advice..it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup..I tried to get back to you..but didn't know how!! Soo forgive me for that!! The Ensure I use is PLANT based.I hope that you can use it!! Continued prayers for you!!

Thank you for the prayers and your support. I am doing research today on this site to see if there is anything that will be helpful. If I could find enzymes that would work it would be great. You would think that the medical field would be more helpful with all this but they don't seem to be educated.
