A member asked:
Can sibo cause fructose malabsorption? meaning, if the sibo is cured could it improve fructose malabsorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, but...: Malabsorption is complex and may reflect bacterial fermentation from sibo, small bowel inflammation or mucosal disease (lots of causes), GI transit issues, pancreatic enzyme activity and sufficiency, etc. A fructose re-trial on your part after sibo eradication may be worthwhile.
