Fructose intolerance
If you experience digestive issues after consuming foods containing fructose, this test is suitable for you.
Genetic diseases often have a familial pattern, however, not all carriers of specific genes inevitably develop the associated disease. The presence of specific genes is just one aspect of the factors contributing to the development of the disease.

What interests you about the Fructose intolerance?
Which foods contain fructose?
Fructose (fruit sugar) occurs naturally in fiber-rich fruits (strawberries, apricots, blackberries, blueberries), honey, and some vegetables (onions, corn, watermelon). Its synthetic version is also used as a sweetener in foods.
What is fructose contained in?
Most of all in honey, in fruits rich in fiber and also in some vegetables (sweet potatoes, corn, watermelon). It is also contained in fructose syrup (a mixture of glucose and fructose) and together with the monosaccharide glucose forms the so-called sucrose.
How is fructose produced?
Chemically, fructose is a monosaccharide C₆H₁₂O₆, which is naturally produced by photosynthesis in plant leaves and is found in sweet ripe fruits and honey. Industrially, fructose is obtained from sugar cane, sugar beets or corn.
What is glucose and fructose?
Glucose (grape sugar) and fructose (fruit sugar) are monosaccharides. Their interaction produces the disaccharide sucrose (beet sugar). Unlike glucose, which is metabolized throughout the body, fructose is mostly metabolized in the liver.
How does a lack of sugar manifest itself in the body?
Hypoglycemia is not something to be taken lightly. The main symptoms are headaches, sweating, tremors, tingling in the limbs, vomiting, increased heart rate and feelings of anxiety, which can escalate into confusion, weakness, dizziness, loss of consciousness and even coma.
What can I replace fructose with?
Fructose, fruit sugar, can be replaced with glucose and fructose-free sweet foods. Rice syrup, which does not change the taste of food and does not contain fructose, is also a suitable alternative.
