Fructose and/or Sorbitol Intolerance in a Subgroup of Lactose Intolerant Patients by SR Mishkin, L Sablauskas, S Mishkin

“…Intolerance to both fructose and sorbicol (administered as separate challenges), more than twice as common as intolerance to either one alone, occurred in 41.4% and was independent of sex. In conclusion, additional carbohydrate intolerances contribute to postcibal discomfort in more than 75% of lactose intolerant patients who remain symptomatic in spite of adherence to appropriate measures for this condition. …”
