Hi! Im new here. Ive been considering the gastric sleeve for the past few years and the reason I havent gone through with it is because I am afraid that it will worsen my Fructose Intolerance. I have it mostly under control right now and havent had any issues for a few weeks. I cannot have any naturally occuring sugars (as in Fruits, honey etc), no sugar alcohols (xylitol, mannitol, Sucralose etc. Mostly found in sugar free products) and foods with long fructal chains cause issues as well. (veggies, and some foods like breads) I also have a hard time if there is something that is HIGH in sugar. (like frosting. It kills me every.single.time) I am also somewhat lactose intolerant. (meaning I can have hard cheeses but nothing else with dairy. A glass of milk would have me writhing in pain for hours)
Other than Fructose and lactose intolerance, my only other health problems is my asthma. Not diabetic, no heart issues etc.
Is there anyone else out there who has gone through the sleeving process with Fructose Intolerance? Ive talked to some dietitians and because it is not very common (or, not commonly diagnosed. Most people think they have IBS when its really Fructose Intolerance) nobody knows what I can and cant have and therefore, they are not able to tell me if this would be an option for me. What Im concerned about is not being able to eat some of the foods Im actually able to tolerate. These are the foods I can tolerate banana (up to 1/4) Corn (up to 1/2 cob) Butter (in moderation) Bacon Rice Cuties Lettuce (in moderation) Hard Cheeses Beef Tortilla (up to 2 per day) Grapes (3-5) Spinach (in moderation) Sour Cream (up to 2tbsp) chicken Orange (unknown) White Potato eggs pineapple Green Beans Turkey (low sodium only) strawberry (up to 5) Celery Almond Milk Canteloupe Anyone have any thoughts on if I would be able to make a post-op diet work with these foods? (or some of these foods)
Any help or insight would be GREATLY appreciated!!
