| Core Tip |
This case-control study was carried out to evaluate the frequency of fructose malabsorption (FM) in adult patients with functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) after systematically ruling out small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. We found that FM was significantly more common in patients with FAPS compared to healthy controls. Notably, some patients with FAPS reported fructose-related symptoms even without biochemical evidence of FM, which supports the role of visceral hypersensitivity. These findings highlight the potential advantages of dietary strategies, such as fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols restriction, in managing FAPS. |
