Has anyone ever heard of Fructose Intolerance? I know many people have heard of Lactose Intolerance, but not many know what it means when I say I am fructose intolerant. Basically, to sum it all up, I am allergic to sugar. It's technically natural sugar that's mostly in fruits but anything else with sugar is bad for me as well. All in all it would be shorter for me to list the foods I can eat rather than the ones I can't.
It's not the worst thing in the world, because I can't die from it. But, if someone were to tell you you couldn't have sugar I'm sure you too would be quite disappointed by this. The side effects for me when I eat sugar are basically centered around my stomach. I get stomach aches with just a tiny bit and with more my food won't stay down, and if it happens to stay down I get severe pains in my abdomen. I call these 'sugar pains'. And these pains can hurt so bad that I am unable to move. I have even had cases where I had too much sugar and later fainted due to it.
Anyway, to all of you people out there who can basically eat whatever they want. Trade places with me?
That's crazy! Sugar and candy's are like my all time guilty pleasure... I don't know how I would ever be able to handle someone telling me I couldn't eat them! But I would trade places with you anyday for you to have a little sugar!
