Abby - you are the first person that I know of that has posted on this message that they have had a fructose malabsorption test. The reason I am interested is that they don't do this test where I live. I had to use a dietary exclusion process to figure out my fructose malabsorption problem.
I presume they gave you a solution containing 25 grams of fructose to drink and then you had a breath test at various times. Is this correct?
I have a couple of questions. How did the test make you feel - i.e. did you experience any IBS symptoms? Did they tell you how sensitive you were to fructose or was it left up to you to figure how much excess fructose you could eat without experiencing problems? Did they give you a sheet or something with dietary instructions? If they did - would it be possible for you to post the instructions on the message board?
Thanks
