fructose intolerance
Fructose intolerance is a digestive disorder characterized by the inability of the body to properly absorb fructose, a type of sugar found in fruits, honey, and some processed foods. This condition is caused by a deficiency or absence of the enzyme needed to break down fructose, leading to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea when consuming foods with high fructose content.
