Hi all,

I am new to the club and would like to say hello to everyone first.

Does anyone else here suffer from lactose and/or fructose malabsorption/intolerance ? I have just been tested and now I am a bit confused about what am I "allowed" to eat.

Are there any useful links or articles on this subject ? Or personal experience ??

"One thing that sort of stroke me funny was that my doctor recommended more or less the blood group diet and there are some coincidences.)

Thanks for your help.

Hi Michaela

I had a look in the THC library but there doesn't seem to be anything relevant there. However, I did find this website which may be of interest. http://www.foodintol.com/sugar.asp

Simone (in the Ab Fab group) stopped eating sugar a couple of months ago and it's transformed her life - if you join Ab Fab do a search for "sugar free" and you'll find her posts about it. Good luck!

have just been tested


Hi Michaela - did you get tested by your GP? And what made you go for it - were you tested for other allergies as well?

I don't know much about this condition, sorry, but I am interested in food intolerance/allergy testing.

Thanks a lot.

I just got tested by my GP, who also recommended the Blood Group Diet (Eat Right 4 your type by Peter D'Adamo).

I also undergo regular blood tests for diabetes, as I had gestational diabetes. So I am a bit cautious now, when it comes to any kind of sugars, i.e. glucose, fructose, lactose or carbohydrates (as not in whole grain etc.).

The Simone group is quite interesting. I have read some comments.
