Page "Fructose malabsorption" Paragraph 2

This condition is common in patients identified to be suffering symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, although occurrence in these patients is not higher than occurrence in the normal population.

Conversely, patients with fructose malabsorption often fit the profile of those with irritable bowel syndrome.

A small proportion of patients with both fructose malabsorption and lactose intolerance also suffer from celiac disease.
