| Core Tip |
Fructose malabsorption (FM) is increasingly recognised as a contributor to functional gastrointestinal symptoms. In this case-control study, FM was significantly more common in patients with functional abdominal bloating than in healthy controls (29% vs 3%). A subset of patients with functional bloating who tested negative for the fructose hydrogen breath test (FHBT) had symptoms during the FHBT, suggesting a mechanism beyond fructose malabsorption, such as visceral hypersensitivity, in the pathogenesis of functional bloating. Female sex was identified as an independent predictor. These findings suggest that FM may be an important, potentially modifiable factor in patients presenting with functional bloating. |
