ObjectiveFructose is absorbed by GLUT transporters in the small intestine. If this process is inadequate, abdominal symptoms because of fructose intolerance may arise. The effect of a tailored fructose-restricted diet on gastrointestinal complaints was assessed in patients with fructose intolerance.Materials and methodsFollowing an abnormal fructose breath test (50g), 107 patients (64 also with lactose intolerance) entered three study periods: weeks 0-32 (free diet), weeks 32-36 (progressive increasing amount of fructose up to quantity inducing symptoms, trigger dose'), and weeks 36-48 (tailored fructose-restricted diet according to the trigger dose'). A subgroup of 15 patients underwent additional fructose breath tests (35, 25g) to compare three different doses.ResultsAt baseline, the most frequent symptoms were bloating and abdominal pain, and were more severe with combined fructose and lactose intolerance. During the free diet, patients reported eliminating (48%) or reducing (52%) fructose-containing foods, with a significant improvement in symptoms (abdominal pain from 79.71.3 to 19.3 +/- 1.8mm; bloating from 83.1 +/- 1.3 to 19.4 +/- 1.8mm; number of evacuations/day from 3.9 +/- 0.16 to 1.1 +/- 0.04; Bristol score from 5.1 +/- 0.14 to 3.8 +/- 0.1, P
