What is Fructose Intolerance?

Fructose Intolerance occurs when the body lacks the enzymes needed to break down fructose, a sugar found in fruits, vegetables, honey, and processed foods. This can lead to gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Common Symptoms of Fructose Intolerance:

1. Bloating and gas
2. Abdominal pain and cramping
3. Diarrhea or loose stools
4. Nausea and vomiting
5. Poor growth and weight gain in severe cases

What is Lactose Intolerance?

Lactose Intolerance occurs when the body has low levels of lactase, an enzyme needed to digest lactose, the sugar found in dairy products. This can cause digestive discomfort after consuming milk, cheese, yogurt, or other dairy-based foods.

Common Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance:

1. Bloating and gas
2. Abdominal pain and cramping
3. Diarrhea or loose stools
4. Nausea and vomiting
5. Gurgling or rumbling stomach
