(Newswire.net — February 26, 2015) Los Angeles, CA — Athletic Greens has just released a new video that discusses fructose malabsorption and what people who suffer from it can do. When people are forced onto a restrictive diet due to fructose malabsorption it is not fun. Every single product label has to be carefully examined and going out to eat is nearly impossible. Currently, the FDA does not require companies that produce processed foods to mark on their labels that the contents inside contain fructose in excess of glucose. When a person accidently consumes one of these foods the discomfort is often unbearable and leaves them feeling bloated and lethargic. Athletic Greens is aware that people who endure fructose malabsorption need to also worry about serious nutrient deficiencies as a result of their restrictive diets.
People who are constantly experiencing nausea, bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, or reflux after eating foods high in fructose may find out they are suffering from this condition. This occurs because some people are unable to completely absorb the fructans in their digestive tracts which eventually leads to the intestines swelling. This is what is causing people to experience the symptoms previously listed. Every person will react differently to certain foods so it is important for them to keep a food journal and record all the foods they eat and how their body reacts to them. Certain foods containing high amounts of fructose like honey, corn syrup, and molasses should always be avoided. People may visit a doctor and ask him to perform a breath test that checks for hydrogen to see if this is what is causing their digestive issues.
Unfortunately, the symptoms of celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome are very similar to fructose malabsorption and the diagnoses can sometimes be confused. This may cause a lot of unwanted discomfort for people who are eating gluten-free or lactose-free but are in fact suffering from fructose malabsorption. Eliminating all these foods from a person’s diet may stop the aches and pains associated with them but it may be the beginning of a nutritional deficiency.
Nutritional deficiencies of even one essential mineral or nutrient can have a massive and detrimental impact on energy, long-term health, and performance. Malnourishment may take years to show visible signs of damage but nevertheless they should not be taken lightly. A lack of certain vitamins can have irreversible effects if left untreated for too long. It is extremely important that those affected by fructose malabsorption consider taking a supplement that will deliver vitamins and vital nutrition that their diet lacks.
People who visit a nutritionist or dietician to correct their fructose malabsorption often are recommended several different nutritional supplements. Some are fairly inexpensive while others can cost nearly $70 a week (like medical foods). However, several people who have been diagnosed with fructose malabsorption have had success taking Athletic Greens premium superfood cocktail. It combines probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes that work together to improve digestion and gastrointestinal function. In total the seventy five whole food sourced ingredients not only can help a person with their digestive issues but also it can deliver all the vitamins and vital nutrition a person needs to thrive each day.
