Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Health
Many people suffer from digestive problems that can significantly affect their daily lives. Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and various food intolerances can cause discomfort and disrupt routines. Identifying the root cause of these symptoms is crucial for effective treatment.
Understanding Fructose Malabsorption
Fructose malabsorption is fairly common, affecting up to 1 in 3 people. It is just as common in people with a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome as in the rest of the population, and symptoms are quite similar but generally triggered by intake of fructose – containing foods. In some cases, fructose malabsorption may be caused by diseases which cause intestinal damage, such as celiac disease.
Fructose malabsorption is not to be confused with “hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI)” a rare, potentially fatal condition in which the liver enzymes that break up fructose are deficient.Fructose is absorbed in the small intestine without the help of digestive enzymes. Even in healthy people, however, only about 25–50 g of fructose per sitting can be properly absorbed. People with fructose malabsorption absorb less than 25 g per sitting. Simultaneous ingestion of fructose and sorbitol seems to increase the malabsorption of fructose. Fructose that has not been adequately absorbed is fermented by intestinal bacteria producing hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide, as well as short-chain-fatty-acids. This abnormal increase in hydrogen may be detectable with the hydrogen and methane breath tests with fructose as a substrate.
Fructose Malabsorption Symptoms and Diagnosis
Fructose malabsorption may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence and diarrhea.
Treatment and Management
Restricting dietary intake of free fructose and/or fructans (longer sugars containing fructose) may provide symptom relief in a high proportion of patients with such functional gut disorders.

Dr. Alejandra
Updating my practice has been so simple with AllClear Healthcare tests
“As a doctor with a 20-year-old private practice, I am always looking to make sure I am providing my patients with the most up to date tools and diagnostics possible. After reviewing the SIBO demo kit from AllClear Healthcare I was pleased with the fit for my patients. I’m happy to be offering my patients the most accurate gut health diagnostics available. Thank you, AllClear Healthcare.”
Dr. Frank
As a patient, homerun
“As a patient, I was worried this would be complicated, and nervous I wouldn’t be able to do this on my own at home. Everything was explained very clearly when I received the test kit and after sending my test back, I had my results in under 24 hours. My treatment is now tailored to my SIBO diagnosis.”
Ada
Wonderful team, extremely simple process
“Simple process, wonderful team, better gut health diagnostics, and so affordable for our patients.”
Dr. Sajid
We are proud to offer AllClear tests
“Our practice is proud to know we are offering the best there is for chronic gut health screening and diagnosis, and we are constantly striving to build deeper trust with our patients. Using AllClear Healthcare has been a great decision.”
Dr. Shane
Simple, safe alternative.
“The most direct – yet invasive, surgical, and expensive method of evaluating for SIBO is an upper endoscopy with small intestinal fluid aspiration. However, breath testing is overall the preferred diagnostic method for SIBO. Breath testing is safe, simple, and noninvasive. AllClear Healthcare provides affordable, easy to use, and accurate results fast. Their tagline explains it clearly… modern practitioner diagnostics, better patient health.”
Dr. Marie
Improved my practice and patient outcomes
“Breath testing is the most widely utilized modality to diagnose small intestinal bac-terial overgrowth (SIBO) and trusted by Physicians and patients.”
Dr. Hugh
As smooth as could be
“Honestly the experience went as smooth as could be. We had a little panic at 7:30am, booked an appointment for 9, and got results by 9:15 and I was off to work. The form on the app took minutes to fill out and there were no problems at all. The employee that helped us out yesterday, Thomas, was great as well. He even called me with the results.”
Dante
I’m sold.
“I was unsure about how easy this test would be for me to explain to patients, my days are packed tight, and I didn’t want to add burden onto staff, but the directions are incredibly simple, and I have yet to have a patient who has had an issue with this test.”
Dr. Ivette
