www.newswise.com/articles/view/539172/I've got a google-alert set up for the words "fructose intolerance". I don't post all the articles here, because they're mostly repetitive. However, this one was intriguing--especially for our DFI members. "Rao and colleagues are now studying an enzyme-based therapy that might treat the condition."

I thought this line was interesting: "The study verified previous research that showed people without dietary fructose intolerance can typically absorb up to 25 grams of fructose in a serving but that many have malabsorption with 50 grams of the sugar." Can you imagine??? 25 grams of fructose in one serving for a "normal" person?  ? |

What do you think that'd be? A whole apple? *looks up nutritional data*  Well, I was trying to compare it to something I found naturally REALLY too sweet to eat. Apples have 13 grams. So, if someone had without DFI, they'd would have to eat four apples before they got sick. I think I got sick from just eating a slice.  *Edited my comment so I wouldn't mislead anyone. |

No, that was WITHOUT dfi that could eat 4 apples before getting sick. If Nate eats even one bite of an apple it is bad, bad, bad!
Whenever I see people write that they might try an apple with their child, I think back to the time that Nate ate an apple slice, threw up on the floor and continued to eat the apple. Yuck, why would you want to do that? I guess it all goes back to not understanding that you are not supposed to feel sick like that all the time.

Another article: media-newswire.com/release_1063083.htmlI happen to highly disagree with the last part of the article. The doctors I've talked to and the dietitians that I've heard about tend to insist on make worse choices. But then, I guess DFI isn't as dangerous as HFI. |

I found an enzyme replacement called "sucraid" given for treatment with cystic fibrous GI issues. If they can develop one surely something may be on the horizon for HFI.
