Are you fructose intolerant?
Fructose is a simple carbohydrate found naturally in fruit and vegetables, although also to a lesser extent in legumes.
Those who cannot tolerate this sugar don't have to eliminate these foods from their diets completely, they just have to see how much they can tolerate as each case is different. It is important to be very careful as this intolerance can lead to a deficiency in essential nutrients. We have 3 tips for avoiding foods with a high proportion of fructose to sorbitol.
