children through their parents' genes. Both the mother and father
have the gene that causes the condition, but may not have symptoms
of fructose intolerance themselves.

Once diagnosed, fructose intolerance can be successfully treated
by eliminating fructose from the diet. Patients usually respond
within three to four weeks and can make a complete recovery if
fructose-containing foods are avoided.
