Lactose and Fructose Intolerance

  • Chapter
Allergy Frontiers: Clinical Manifestations

Part of the book series: Allergy Frontiers ((ALLERGY,volume 3))

Abstract

Intolerance of dietary carbohydrate and sugars can result from a variety of genetically determined enzyme and transporter deficiencies and is a common finding in both normal patients and those with bowel symptoms. In symptomatic patients, these conditions can give rise to bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. These non-specific symptoms overlap with other pathological processes and consequently, the diagnosis and management of carbohydrate intolerance can be challenging to clinicians. A number of dietary and pharmacological treatments have been postulated for these conditions and these are described in detail.
