Does high-fructose corn syrup contain gluten?
Yes, although diets very high in high fructose cornsyrup has been linked to liver disease and should not be consumed by people with fructose intolerance and in only exceedingly small amounts by people with fructose malabsorption. Since many people with fructose malabsorption who become lactose intolerant can have Celiacs disease, I thought that tidbit was worth mentioning XD.
Hereditary fructose intolerance?
DefinitionHereditary fructose intolerance is a disorder in which a person lacks the protein needed to break down fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar that naturally occurs in the body. Man-made fructose is used as a sweetener in many foods, including baby food and drinks.Alternative NamesFructosemia; Fructose intolerance; Fructose aldolase B-deficiency; Fructose 1, 6 bisphosphate aldolase deficiencyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThis condition occurs when the body is missing an enzyme called aldolase B. This substance is needed to break down fructose.If a person without this substance eats fructose and sucrose (cane or beet sugar, table sugar), complicated chemical changes occur in the body. The body cannot change its energy storage material, glycogen, into glucose. As a result, the blood sugar falls and dangerous substances build up in the liver.Hereditary fructose intolerance is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. If both parents carry an abnormal gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of being affected. The condition may be as common as 1 in 20,000 people in some European countries.SymptomsSymptoms can be seen after a baby starts eating food or formula.The early symptoms of fructose intolerance are similar to those of galactosemia. Later symptoms relate more to liver disease.Symptoms may include:ConvulsionsExcessive sleepinessIrritabilityJaundicePoor feeding as a babyProblems after eating fruits and fructose/sucrose-containing foodsVomitingSigns and testsPhysical examination may show:Enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly)Yellow skin or eyesTests that confirm the diagnosis include:Blood clotting testsBlood sugar testEnzyme studiesGenetic testingKidney function testsLiver function testsLiver biopsyUric acid blood testUrinalysisBlood sugar will be low, especially after receiving fructose or sucrose. Uric acid levels will be high.TreatmentRemoving fructose and sucrose from the diet is an effective treatment for most patients. Complications are treated. For example, some patients can take medication to lower the level of uric acid in their blood and decrease their risk for gout.Expectations (prognosis)Hereditary fructose intolerance may be mild or severe.Avoiding fructose and sucrose helps most children with this condition.A few children with a severe form of the disease will develop severe liver disease. Even removing fructose and sucrose from the diet may not prevent severe liver disease in these children.How well a person does depends on:How soon the diagnosis is madeHow soon fructose and sucrose can be removed from the dietHow well the enzyme works in the bodyComplicationsAvoidance of fructose-containing foods due to their effectsBleedingDeathGoutIllness from eating foods containing fructose or sucroseLiver failureLow blood sugar (hypoglycemia)SeizuresCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if your child develops symptoms of this condition after feeding starts. If your child has this condition, experts recommend seeing a doctor who specializes in biochemical genetics or metabolism.PreventionCouples with a family history of fructose intolerance who wish to have a baby may consider genetic counseling.Most of the damaging effects of the disease can be prevented by sticking to a fructose-free diet.ReferencesSteinmann B, Santer R, van den Berghe G.
