Who can benefit from testing for fructose intolerance?

Individuals experiencing unexplained digestive issues, particularly after consuming fruits, sweeteners, or processed foods containing high fructose corn syrup, may benefit from testing. Those with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, especially if these symptoms seem to correlate with the intake of fructose, are also good candidates for testing.

What are the symptoms of fructose intolerance?
  • Bloating and gas
  • Diarrhea
  • Stomach cramps or pain
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
What should be avoided in the diet if one has fructose intolerance?

Individuals with fructose intolerance should avoid or limit foods high in fructose. This includes certain fruits like apples, pears, and mangoes; sweeteners like honey and agave nectar; and products containing high fructose corn syrup. They should also be cautious with certain vegetables and grains, and read food labels for hidden sources of fructose.

What are the treatment options or dietary strategies to manage fructose intolerance symptoms?

The primary treatment for fructose intolerance involves adopting a low-fructose diet. Individuals with fructose intolerance should limit their intake of high-fructose foods and beverages, such as fruits, fruit juices, honey, and certain sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup. They should also avoid foods with added fructose, sorbitol, and mannitol. A registered dietitian can help create a tailored diet plan. Additionally, digestive enzyme supplements containing fructase can be used to help break down fructose in some cases. Managing fructose intolerance typically involves careful dietary choices and symptom monitoring to minimize discomfort and digestive issues.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
