Fructose Malabsorption

I was hoping there was a medication specifically for fructose malabsorption but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Any diet suggestions?

Hello.
The malabsorption may be related to IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. I do not absorb fructose either, but that goes along with my IBS. I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago and told that a low FODMAP diet would help. After looking into this more thoroughly I purchased a book by Patsy Catsos and it was extremely helpful. Along with the dietary changes I also take digestive enzymes. This combination has done wonders for me. Hope you get some relief.

Fructans and some, if not all fructosecare my nemesis. Look at labels carefully!! And do jot substitute artificial anything.
