Fructose, which is a type of FODMAP, is a simple sugar found in fruits and vegetables, as well as sweeteners like honey, agave and high-fructose corn syrup.
The consumption of fructose, especially from sugar-sweetened beverages, has risen dramatically in the past forty years and been linked to an increase in obesity, liver disease and heart disease.
Aside from a rise in fructose-related diseases, there has also been a surge in fructose malabsorption and intolerance.
In people with fructose intolerance, fructose isn’t efficiently absorbed into the blood.
Instead, the malabsorbed fructose travels to the large intestine, where it is fermented by gut bacteria, causing digestive distress.
Symptoms of fructose malabsorption include:
Reflux
Gas
Diarrhea
Nausea
Abdominal pain
Vomiting
Bloating
People with an intolerance to fructose are often also sensitive to other FODMAPs and can benefit from following a low-FODMAP diet.
In order to manage symptoms related to fructose malabsorption, the following high-fructose foods should be avoided:
Soda
Honey
Apples, apple juice and apple cider
Agave nectar
Foods containing high-fructose corn syrup
Certain fruits like watermelon, cherries and pears
Certain vegetables like sugar snap peas
