It has been proposed that fructose may cause or aggravate symptoms in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders. Fructose is commonly used to sweeten processed foods, and the prevalence of incomplete fructose absorption (25 g, 10%) in healthy subjects is as high as 50%. The only controlled study that has been performed did not demonstrate a higher prevalence of fructose-induced gastrointestinal symptoms or incomplete fructose absorption in patients with functional gastrointestinal…

Fructose Malabsorption and Intolerance: Effects of Fructose with and without Simultaneous Glucose Ingestion
TLDR
Clinical data related to understanding fructose malabsorption and intolerance relative to usual fructose and other carbohydrate intake are reviewed and information on the fructose and glucose content of foods, beverages, and ingredients representing a variety of food categories is provided.
Fructose malabsorption and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome: guidelines for effective dietary management.
Combination of erythritol and fructose increases gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy adults.
Fructose Intolerance/Malabsorption and Recurrent Abdominal Pain in Children
TLDR
Fructose intolerance/malabsorption is common in children with recurrent/functional abdominal pain and a low-fructose diet is an effective treatment, according to a study evaluating whether pediatric patients with chronic abdominal pain had concurrent fructose intolerance as determined by a standardized dose breath hydrogen test.
Ability of the normal human small intestine to absorb fructose: evaluation by breath testing.
Fructose-induced symptoms beyond malabsorption in FGID
TLDR
Until the authors have further mechanistic insight, restricting dietary fructose intake and other poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates and polyols remains an efficacious approach for managing functional gastrointestinal symptoms.
Fructose Intolerance in Children Presenting With Abdominal Pain
TLDR
It is concluded that fructose malabsorption may be a significant problem in children and that management of dietary intake can be effective in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms.
Fructose Intolerance in IBS and Utility of Fructose-Restricted Diet
TLDR
About one-third of patients with suspected IBS had fructose intolerance, and when compliant, symptoms improved on fructose-restricted diet despite moderate impact on lifestyle; noncompliance was associated with persistent symptoms.
The role of diet in symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in adults: a narrative review.
Fructose Malabsorption May Be Gender Dependent and Fails to Show Compensation by Colonic Adaptation
TLDR
It is concluded that gender may influence fructose malabsorption and there is no adaptation to regular consumption with basic fructose.

Fructose: Incomplete intestinal absorption in humans
Carbohydrate malabsorption and the effect of dietary restriction on symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and functional bowel complaints.
TLDR
Combined sugar malabsorption patterns are common in functional bowel disorders and may contribute to symptomatology in most patients and dietary restriction should be implemented before the institution of drug therapy.
Honey may have a laxative effect on normal subjects because of incomplete fructose absorption.
TLDR
It is suggested that carbohydrate malabsorption after ordinary doses of honey is frequent in healthy adults and may be associated with abdominal complaints and Honey may have a laxative effect in certain otherwise healthy individuals, probably because of incomplete fructose absorption.
Incomplete intestinal absorption of fructose.
TLDR
It is concluded that children have a limited absorptive capacity for fructose and it is speculated that the enhancing effect of glucose and galactose on fructose absorption may be due to activation of the fructose carrier.
Colonic bacterial activity determines the symptoms in people with fructose-malabsorption.
TLDR
This activity of colonic bacteria, significantly discriminating symptomatic subjects with fructose-malabsorption from asymptomatic, enhances the importance of fructose- malabsorption in the differential diagnosis of people with non-specific abdominal complaints and may support the role of nutritional carbohydrates in the pathogenesis of bowel diseases.
Role of fructose-sorbitol malabsorption in the irritable bowel syndrome.
TLDR
Fructose-sorbitol malabsorption is frequently seen in patients with irritable bowel syndrome, but this is not different from observations in healthy volunteers, and fructose-s orbitol mal absorption does not seem to play an important role in the etiology of irritables bowel syndrome.
Malabsorption of fructose-sorbitol mixtures. Interactions causing abdominal distress.
TLDR
Hydrogen breath tests were performed on 10 healthy adults after they had ingested a mixture of sorbitol and fructose, in which these substances were present in amounts corresponding to the individual absorption capacities, to suggest that in healthy adults the presence of Sorbitol interferes with fructose absorption and/or vice versa.
Symptom provocation in irritable bowel syndrome. Effects of differing doses of fructose-sorbitol.
TLDR
Comparison of differences in symptom provocation with various doses of fructose-sorbitol and the extent of colonic hydrogen production after each dose of fructose and sorbitol found no significant correlation between increase in symptom score and the increase in peak hydrogen concentration or the increaseIn integrated hydrogen response between lower and higher dose mixtures.
Functional bowel disease: malabsorption and abdominal distress after ingestion of fructose, sorbitol, and fructose-sorbitol mixtures.
Sugar malabsorption in functional bowel disease: clinical implications.
TLDR
The results suggest that sugar malabsorption may be implicated in the development of abdominal distress in at least a subset of patients with functional bowel disease.
