non diabetic allergic to all sugsars

Whenever i eat foods including fruit that contain sugar, my immune system weakens subjecting me to sore throat and colds. Ii also break out in hives AND become extremely fatigue ( this is just a small part of what happens to me). I have been tested several times and told that I am not diabetic. when I avoid sugars, i never get sick. I have tried to explain this to my doctors but they don't believe me.  I have battled this condition for over 40 years. can anyone explain  what's going on with me?

A research team from Ohio State University has released the result of a study revealing how zinc helps control infections that prevents out-of-control inflammation. Beside foods such as beans, nuts, whole grains and some shellfish. The recommended dose is about 15-20 mg. per day.

Well, this is a little misleading, because all foods eventually break down in the body to glucose, a form of sugar, which supplies the body's energy.  How quickly this happens affects weight and diabetes, but it does happen.  Most foods contain some form of sugar.  Dairy, for example, contains lactose, and is actually high in sugar.  So I have no idea what's going on unless you have a rare allergy to fructose, one of the main sugars in fruit.  But you also find that in corn -- do you have this problem when you eat corn?  It's an odd situation, that's for sure.
