What is Fructose and Fructose Malabsorption? 

Fructose is a hexose (simple sugar). Fructose Malabsorption (FM) is the incomplete absorption of free dietary fructose in the small intestine, which thus allows migration of fructose into the small intestine and colon. When this occurs, fructose interacts with bacteria in the gut, producing physical discomfort and contributing to weight gain, lipid irregularities, and more.

High-fructose foods:

• Sugar soft drinks (20 oz) - 20-30 grams
• Large apple - 13 grams
• 20 grapes - 7 grams
• 1 tsp honey - 8 grams
• 1 banana - 5 grams

What is the mechanism of Fructose Malabsorption?

Fructose is well absorbed in the presence of glucose. Free fructose without corresponding glucose, however, is poorly absorbed. The signs of Fructose Malabsorption appear when the activity of its transport protein GLUT5 is impaired, and bacteria are able to ferment the fructose before absorption. While glucose is efficiently and near completely absorbed in the small intestine, fructose is not.
