The Danger of Fructose Malabsorption Tests

I was just reading this article to my husband and he suggested I post it here. We are going to be sending a copy to our pediatrician. For those still looking for a diagnosis, note the part about enuresis, encopresis and language delay!

Another example of why physicians need to be more careful in the use of fructose breath tests - especially in small children.

Ah FINALLY!! Nice to see a medical document repeating what we've been saying the whole time. Definitely will have to recommend this to any newcomers who are getting around to obtaining diagnosis.
