 Fructose Intolerance: An Unrecognized Problem (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/26/2002 | Hits: 9 |
| From the University of Iowa Medical Center and The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2001: Researchers studied the effects of fructose (a simple, natural sugar found in fruits, juices, honey and candy) on 219 people who had unexplained gas pain and bloating. They noted that a whopping 78% of the people who drank a fructose-water mixture had improper digestion of fructose as evidenced by production of hydrogen and methane gases (these gases are not produced with normal fructose digestion). Nearly 60% of the study subjects demonstrated symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) after drinking the mixture. The researchers stated they were surprised at such a strong association between fructose and digestive distress and recommended that IBS sufferers be screened for fructose intolerance. |

| Effect of Low and High Fat Meals on Lower Esophageal Sphincter Motility and Gastroesophageal Reflux in Healthy Subjects (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/17/2002 | Hits: 57 |
| From The Academic Teaching Hospital in Munich, Germany and The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1999: For years, people who have GERD have been told to lower their fat intake in order to control their symptoms. This study put that advice to the test and found that there was no difference in GERD symptoms between the low fat and high fat meals. These researchers concluded that it is inappropriate to advise GERD patients to lower dietary fat intake for symptom relief. |
