Fructose malabsorption test

A fructose malabsorption test plays an important role in diagnosing how effectively your body processes fructose, a naturally occurring sugar. This test is particularly useful for individuals experiencing digestive issues like bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort after consuming fructose-rich foods. Identifying fructose malabsorption early enables better dietary management and helps to reduce symptoms.*

The fructose malabsorption breath Test

The fructose malabsorption breath test is a widely used diagnostic tool. It measures hydrogen levels in the breath after consuming a fructose solution. During the test, elevated hydrogen levels indicate unabsorbed fructose fermenting in the colon, which signals malabsorption.

What to Expect

This non-invasive test usually takes 2-3 hours. After fasting, you’ll drink a fructose-containing liquid and periodically breathe into a collection device. Staying inactive during the test ensures accurate results. Your healthcare provider will analyze the hydrogen levels to confirm malabsorption.

Why It Matters

Understanding your body’s response to fructose is essential for symptom management. If diagnosed with fructose malabsorption, healthcare professionals can recommend dietary changes, such as reducing high-fructose foods and exploring enzyme supplements like xylose isomerase to improve digestion.

Fructase is a supplement that contains xylose isomerase and helps to enjoy your fruits, sweets, and sugary drinks with ease and comfort!

Intoleran Fructase is specially designed to support the digestion of fructose (fruit sugar) by converting it into glucose in the small intestine. With the digestive enzyme Xylose Isomerase, Fructase helps reduce occasional gas, bloating, and discomfort associated with fructose intolerance and malabsorption.*

Perfect for enjoying fruits, juices, honey, sauces and sweets again!

Testing provides clarity on digestive health and paves the way for improved well-being through personalized dietary strategies. If you suspect fructose malabsorption, consider consulting a specialist for a breath test to enhance your digestive comfort.
