After the test.. Everything has Fructose!!!! (well almost)

So Nathan is super sick after the test. Poor baby. But yay- we have an answer- FRUCTOSE!!

Now what? This is an apple eating, carrot loving "can I have some peanuts?" loving boy! A 2 boosts a day boy (to gain weight!). Now what do I feed you??

The doctor said 2 solid weeks of no fructose, not a drop. Okay....we can do this.

At home I am scouring the internet....reading through the pamphlets the dietician gave me...back to google...and off to the grocery store when my husband comes home.

First to Giant Eagle, the to Heinans, now to Trader Joes- yep. The search is on for fructose free bread.

WHat do I pack in his lunch? A baggie full of meat and chocolate?

Cane sugar is fine, whew! Hershey bars it is!! Chips- awesome! (always read those labels though)

2 weeks of a totally fructose free diet- is that possible? 2 weeks to an 8 year old is about 1 month to us grown-ups by the way.

It's a rough 2 weeks but you can do it!!! We did. And by day 3 the bellyache was gone...the smells were gone...it was awesome!! Difficult, it still is...but so worth it.

 Nathan has begun living a Bellyache and Fructose Free life!!!
