I have been following an elimination diet now for 2 months to test my Fruc Mal symptoms, and am 90% BETTER! During the first 6 weeks I eliminated all sugar, and am now adding back (slowly) certain fruit.
I am scheduled to take the hydrogen breath test in January, but no matter what the outcome, I really think I've found some answers. This is the only dietary approach I've found that addresses my life long food intolerance to high fructan foods like onions, wheat, fruit, chicory, etc.
I read Syl's posts on this subject for a long time before acting on the information. This fall I was having so much bloating and pain that I finally decided to Take Action. I went to an allergist and got tested for any possible food allergies (nothing positive except for lettuce)---to rule that out. I went to a gastroenterologist and had a flex sig, which showed no obvious problems except for some inflammation.
The Fruct Mal diet relieved the pain and bloating in 3 days! I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but I'm SO much better.
