My girlfriend is apparently allergic to honey. She says it's part of her 'fructose intolerance' that she developed years ago. Can this be true? or is it psychosomatic?

- quasque 13y agoIt could well be true, though distinguishing the cause of her symptoms - whether it is an allergic reaction (i.e. the immune system inappropriately overreacting), problems in absorbing or metabolising fructose (so primarily related to intestines or liver), or something else - would be difficult without the involvement of a medical professional.
