A member asked:

Can heredity fructose intolerance be diagnosed for the first time at 21?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It would be unusual but possible.The overlap of symptoms (cramps,loose stools, etc.) with other problems can make early diagnosis hard.Many kids just learn to avoid fructose by avoiding or limiting fruits or juices and this can limit symptoms and the likelihood of diagnosis.
