Thing in what I just read might be useful.

Quote:
Intestinal bacteria have been shown to be more important than the liver in metabolizing some sugars, such as fucose.
(not a spelling error, it is refering to a different level of sugars and it is fucose)

This was from http://www.glycoscience.org/glycosci...?FILENAME=D002

It's interesting stuff.

It makes sense to me that fructose would be a common sensitivity in active Celiacs. My ds2 when he was having the daily bouts of diarrhea all day long went through the following stages 1)mucousy diarrhea, 2) more, 3) bile frothy diarrhea with acid burn rash on his tush, 4) pure liquid bile and exhausted from crying. THis was breastfed by the way.

Introducing foods created more havoc. And apple juice was horrendously wrong for him, any fruit.

Thinking now back to the intestial flora required to break down food and sugars, he had none! He had diarrhea'd those out a long time ago and there was no time in which he had a chance to recoup those lost flora.

He had trouble with Lactose too, all dairy really, so yogurt to get those flora back was out of the question.

Food for thought.
