A member asked:

How do i find out whether my 7 years old girl child has fructose intolerance or fruct. malabsorption? (we don't have tests for both where i live.)

Dr. John Chiu answered

Unusual: Fructose intolerance is a rare disease and thus the odds are against your daughter having this condition. However if she has problem with fruits and fructose after ingestion, it will be the sign that she dose have this probleml.
