I am writing this to let you know how happy I am to have recently received the confirmation that I have a double mutation of the p.Ala150pro gene.
I say joy because finally, at 61 years of age, I can put an end to a life marked by many uncertainties, hypoglycemias, migraines, tiredness, mood swings, gout attacks, hypersensitivities, candidiasis, high cholesterol, etc, etc. I wish my parents and the doctors at that time had known about it, since they forced me to swallow orange juice by holding my nose (just remembering it makes my hair stand on end). Everyone thought it was a child's whim that I didn't want to eat any fruit or sweets. I guess my strong repulsion to anything sugary and the fact that at that time most processed foods did not yet carry hidden sugar saved me from greater evils.
I took the test because in recent years the above symptoms were on the rise. I imagine that my already low tolerance with age was getting exhausted and because of my ignorance that what was “killing” me was the increasingly frequent hidden fructose, the fructose that is not perceived in taste.
Having the IHF affirmation is a blessing for me. Now I really know how to start again!
Anyway, what I want to say and insist is that IHF is only a serious and chronic disease as long as one ignores that one is affected! Knowing this, IHF becomes a simple but very important precaution.
Best of health and congratulations for your IHF disclosure!
