Abstract
A patient with isolated fructose malabsorption presented with diarrhoea and colic during the first year of life and subsequently responded to a fructose free diet. Fructose malabsorption has been implicated in some cases of irritable bowel syndrome in adults and may also be an infrequently recognized cause of gastrointestinal symptoms in children.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
