Do you experience symptoms of fructose intolerance after consuming fruit, fruit juices or honey? The Fructose Breath Test diagnoses fructose malabsorption in a non-invasive way by measuring hydrogen and methane levels in your breath.

Fructose malabsorption is common and often underdiagnosed. It is a functional test (genetic vs. functional) that complements the Genetic Test for Hereditary Fructose Intolerance included in the IAGen Test. Results are available in approximately 7 working days.

Descripción

The Fructose Intolerance Test consists of the oral administration of a fructose solution, followed by the collection of breath samples every 30 minutes, for a total of 3 and a half hours.
The analysis measures the levels of hydrogen and methane present in the breath, gases produced by the fermentation of unabsorbed fructose in the colon. An increase in these gases in the samples indicates the presence of intestinal fructose malabsorption.
This test allows differentiation between nonspecific digestive discomfort and a specific fructose intolerance, facilitating an accurate diagnosis and a personalized dietary plan.

¿Is it suitable for me?

This test is for you if you experience symptoms of fructose intolerance (bloating, gas or diarrhoea) after consuming fruit, fruit juices, honey or foods containing fructose, and would like to confirm the diagnosis with a functional test.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fructose intolerance and fructose malabsorption?

Fructose malabsorption is the functional inability to properly absorb fructose in the small intestine and is a very common condition in the general population. Hereditary fructose intolerance is a serious genetic disorder caused by mutations in the aldolase B (ALDOB) gene, preventing the proper metabolism of fructose and potentially causing liver damage. The Breath Test detects functional fructose malabsorption, while the IAGen Test detects the hereditary form.

Is the test uncomfortable or painful?

No, this is a simple and non-invasive test. You will only need to blow into some tubes at regular intervals after ingesting the fructose solution.

Can I take medication before the test?

Some medications interfere with the result, so it is recommended to consult your doctor. In general, antibiotics, probiotics, and laxatives should be avoided in the days or weeks prior.

Is this test used to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

No, but it can help differentiate whether your digestive symptoms are due to a specific fructose intolerance or another type of intestinal disorder.

Are the results final?

Yes, in most cases. However, your doctor may recommend additional tests or trial dietary adjustments to confirm the diagnosis.

How long does the Fructose Breath Test take?

The test takes approximately 2–3 hours, during which several breath samples are collected at different time points after drinking the standard fructose solution.

Can I have both fructose and sorbitol malabsorption at the same time?

Yes, this is common. Both fructose and sorbitol belong to the FODMAP group, and many people have difficulty absorbing both. In these cases, performing both the Fructose Breath Test and the Sorbitol Breath Test provides a complete overview of functional intolerances and helps design an appropriate dietary plan.

The procedure was simple and non-invasive: I just had to blow into several tubes after drinking a fructose beverage.

“
The process was easy, not painful or invasive, it just takes some time because you have to blow several times throughout the test. The final report was very clear.
