fructose free cereal

So you or your child is fructose intolerant...whether you are in the midst of your 2 week fructose free diet or ready to reintroduce it, fructose will be on your mind when grocery shopping! 


It's so surprising how many items contain fructose. My son Nate likes to eat dry cereal in the morning (sure we do the waffle, sausage, toast, pancake thing too but this is his most requested)High fructose corn syrup is in soooo many cereals it's crazy! And if it's not then we have our honey cereals to watch out for.


I have found several lists all over the internet listing cereals that are supposed to be fructose free- only to read the label and find honey listed as ingredient 4! I think these sites are focused on hfcs and obesity...not fructose intolerance.


My advice is to read every label..go ahead...stand in the isle...while the other momma's just grab and go there you will find me...reading! And the good news is that after you do that once you'll know what you or your child can and can't have.

I'm choosing not to add a "list" but suggest good ole' fashion label reading! Right now Nate is having a bowl of Kix. Good luck on your fructose free cereal hunt!
