Fructose malabsorption and the vagina and urinary tract

A small cute monster stares at an apple sitting on a table. Sad, becuase it can't eat it, because it has so much fructose.

Fructose malabsorption or fructose intolerance is characterised by symptoms associated with fructose being passed through the small intestine – where it should be absorbed – into the large intestine, where it is fermented. This fermentation process results in gas and bloating and can cause irritable bowel symptoms like diarrhoea and pain.

But, fructose intolerance may also contribute to vaginal and urinary tract infections. Fructose may be excreted via the lungs, urine, vagina, skin, stomach and bowel​1​. Any excessive sugars in the body tissues can be used by certain bacteria as an energy source, potentially contributing to an abundance of certain species where they may not belong.

Fructose malabsorption is associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but there are many areas of fructose intolerance that have not been well examined, such as the impact on the respiratory tract, urogenital tract (vagina, urinary tract), skin, and in heartburn/indigestion. More research is required in this area.

Fructose intolerance and vaginal and urinary tract infections

One study​1​ looked at people with fructose malabsorption and their other health complaints. It was observed that the fructose malabsorbers had more than twice the incidence of chronic or recurrent respiratory and urogenital tract infections, skin inflammation, and heartburn/indigestion (78% versus 37%).

The participants were asked to follow a reduced fructose diet for up to three years. The study showed that the risk of chronic and recurrent illness in those with fructose malabsorption was high, but that a fructose-restricted diet (see below) significantly reduced this vulnerability.

Interestingly, in this study the researchers found that in those with fructose malabsorption, urinary fructose peaked 30 minutes before the hydrogen breath test showed elevated hydrogen, indicating that fructose can be taken into the blood and excreted via the urinary system.

In ‘malabsorbers’, this process is assumed to be related to a defect (mutation) in the GLUT-5 and GLUT-2 genes (Slc2A5 and Slc2A2 genes respectively)​1,2​. Fructose that is absorbed may be ‘recycled’​3​, potentially leading to a longer life in the body and being excreted via other means.

The researchers found that the malabsorber group had a 6.17 times increased risk of chronic and recurrent diseases, with the increase in chronic conditions increasing with urinary fructose levels. It is believed that fructose is excreted in high quantities via the lungs, stomach, skin, vagina and urinary tract. During this excretion process, microbes convert fructose to various organic acids (propionic, butyric).

The researchers speculated that these metabolites contributed to the significant increases in inflammation, heartburn, indigestion and infections. These problems are conventionally treated repeatedly with antacids and antibiotics, with the latter contributing to antibiotic resistance, a major public health concern. Diet modifications, however, can alleviate these issues (more on this below).

Microbes that can utilise fructose

NOTE: this list is incomplete and a work in progress!

  • Lactobacillus spp.​4​ have at least two fructose metabolism pathways, associated with a protective vaginal microbiome and many other health benefits
  • Echercheria coli (E. coli) can utilise fructose in three ways​5​. This may explain in part why some people develop urinary tract infections or flares of aerobic vaginitis (AV) after sex with semen in the vagina, since semen is high in fructose​6​.
  • Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has several fructose metabolism genes, and the use of fructose may increase virulence​7​. Also implicated in UTIs and AV.
  • Corynebacterium glutamicumSpiroplasma citriStreptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus gordonii​7​
  • Bifidobacterium longum​8​a healthy gut commensal
  • Bacillus subtilis​9​
  • Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501​10​
  • Gardnerella vaginalis​11​ (implicated in bacterial vaginosis (BV))

And many more!

What is fructose?

Fructose is a sugar (monosaccharide) found in many foods, including fruits, vegetables and honey. Fructose is also found in high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a sweetener found in many foods and drinks, particularly in the United States.

Fructose – alongside glucose and galactose – can be absorbed directly from the intestine into the blood using special transporters.

IBS and fructose malabsorption​12​

Humans can only absorb limited amounts of fructose due to the method by which it is absorbed. Glucose is completely absorbed via specialised intestinal transporters, but fructose requires a glucose ‘buddy’ to carry it through. These glucose buddies may or may not be in plentiful supply at the time of ingestion, dependent on what else was eaten or is in the intestine at the time.

When fructose is not absorbed, it travels further through the intestine and, as it does so, increases water forced into the bowel by osmotic force. This influx of water into the intestine leads to rapid propulsion of bowel contents into the large intestine, with fragments that should have been absorbed in the small intestine then moving into the large intestine too early. These fragments include fructose.

The unabsorbed fragments then undergo fermentation by gut bacteria, leading to gas, which can be incredibly uncomfortable and cause bloating and pain. The influx of water can also result in diarrhoea. Many people with a diagnosis of IBS-D (D standing for diarrhoea) may have fructose malabsorption.

One of the possible reasons for the increase in IBS-D diagnoses in the United States, in particular, is an increase in the use of HFCS from less than 1 ton in 1966 to 8.8 million tons in 2003. While a person may be able to easily tolerate normal levels of fructose in fruit and vegetables when you have it added to many foods in the diet, a normal digestive system could easily be overwhelmed.

This overwhelm then results in an overgrowth of certain species of gut bacteria and inflammation of the intestine due to an imbalanced gut microbiota.

Fructose and the gut microbiome

The human gut microbiome is significantly impacted by a high-fructose diet. HFCS differed to a high fruit diet in impact, with negative impacts. A HFCS diet led to a reduction in beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria, while a diet high in fruit-derived fructose modulated the composition of the gut microbiome, and counteracted the harmful effects of excessive fructose.​13​

Hereditary fructose intolerance

Genetic fructose intolerance is a hereditary condition passed on through DNA where the enzyme that breaks down fructose-1-phosphate is lacking. This condition is usually discovered during the weaning of an infant, with nausea, vomiting, jaundice and hypoglycaemia.

Diagnosis of fructose intolerance – the breath test

A hydrogen and methane breath test is used to determine fructose and glucose intolerance in diabetics, but can also be used to check for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). SIBO should be considered before fructose intolerance, as it is a cause of IBS symptoms and can be treated.

The breath test involves the ingestion of fructose. In one test to determine the levels of fructose, we can absorb without a positive breath test, 100% of people without fructose malabsorption can tolerate 15g of fructose, 90% can tolerate 25g, and just 20-30% can absorb 50g.

These tests are imperfect but useful. Breath samples are collected every 30 minutes for up to three hours. A rise in 5 ppm over three consecutive measurements of over 20 ppm of hydrogen, or over 10 ppm of methane, or a rise of both of 15 ppm over baseline is regarded as a positive test.

Symptoms may lag behind intake, with some people experiencing symptoms only after the breath test was complete, perhaps due to delayed transit. If there was an increase in symptoms but no rise in hydrogen, this is still a positive test and may indicate the rapid movement of the fructose without time for fermentation processes to produce the hydrogen for the breath test.

Treatments for fructose intolerance

Fructose restricted diet

The guidelines for treating fructose intolerance with dietary restriction of fructose include foods with less than 3g of fructose per serving, less than 0.5g of free fructose per 100g of food, and less than 0.5g of fructan per serving, but these are arbitrary values.

It is thought that free fructose most strongly influences fructose malabsorption, though a meal with a high overall fructose content could produce symptoms.

One study showed that 77% of those with IBS adhered to the diet, and 74% responded favourably regarding all abdominal symptoms​14​.

In those compliant with the fructose-limited diet, significant improvements were found for all symptoms, including burping/belching, bloating and abdominal pain, within a year​15​. All participants in this study continued with the diet modifications after the study finished.

Adding glucose to meals

Out of these 74%, 15% added glucose to their meals to balance the fructose and all reported being completely symptom-free​14​.

Consuming sucrose fructose instead of fructose fructose

Another study found that when participants ingested 50g of free fructose, the hydrogen breath test resulted in four times as much hydrogen than when they had 50g of fructose in the form of sucrose​16​. Sucrose is a disaccharide (meaning two sugars together), a combination of glucose and fructose.

How to do the fructose-restricted elimination diet

To do the fructose elimination diet, first fructose-rich foods are removed from the diet for two weeks, having only 5g of fructose per day total.

Once significant relief is found (in 2-6 weeks), the reintroduction phase begins, bringing in small amounts of slightly higher fructose-containing foods one at a time to determine tolerance. Everyone is a little different, so this is an individual journey.

Typically, 10-15g of fructose is tolerated per day. It’s best to spread this out between meals to avoid a larger amount of fructose entering the digestive tract in one sitting.

Fructose is a FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols).
