Ok so when I eat any foods with fructose one of my symptoms is distended abdomen... I look like I'm pregnant. However this can happen when I DONT eat food for a while as well, or when I exercise my stomach I distends and I retain water like crazy. I get tired after. Same happens if I have a hot shower... I swell up and am tired. Is abdominal swelling a symptom of hypoglycemia? Because it happens with fructose and it happens when I don't eat for a long time. I've always wondered what in the world would make my stomach extend to no end from exercising or having a hot shower... Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks!!

My stomach does this when I'm experiencing cramps (which I suspect is an unrelated issue) or when I haven't had enough fiber. I haven't noticed it happening with a hot shower or exercising. This might just be an issue unrelated to your fructose intolerance since it happens with or without fructose present.
One thing to note it that if you do have HFI, it can take a few days for your system to flush fructose out of your body. I've noticed I still have issues with hypoglycemia up to two weeks after ingesting fructose accidentally.

Oh wow! Yes I do notice effects for a while after ingesting fructose as well ... I wa wondering If maybe the swelling and water weight is a cortisol response maybe related to hypoglycemia? Not sure though... Thanks for your response! I'm hoping it just goes away once I've been off fructose completely a while , that would be amazing
