Unveiling Fructan Intolerance: The Hidden Culprit Behind GI Issues. Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, delves into the often misunderstood world of gastrointestinal issues, differentiating between gluten intolerance and fructan intolerance. She explains how emerging research suggests fructans, not gluten, may be the real trigger for many GI symptoms. Leyla discusses the structure, impact, and prevalence of fructans in various foods, and their role as prebiotics. She also highlights diagnostic methods and dietary approaches, particularly the Low FODMAP diet, to manage symptoms and properly identify intolerances.
