My 11 fruit and vegetable favorites for fructose intolerance

Dr. Facebook
When I started building the nmi portal over 10 years ago, the term "Dr. Google" on.

Cool thing, especially because "Fructosin" (as Xylosolv was called back then) had to be taken off the market in Germany due to patent disputes.

Part 7: IgG test and the Hering paradox
The problems of IGg4 tests I have also done two new IgG4 tests. As mentioned in blog part 3, I ate a lot of herring before my first IgG4 test.
