Don't be fooled...that's fructose!!!

Feeling better not eating fructose!
Hello, thanks for checking out my blog! We started eating fructose free 2 months ago when my 8 year old son was diagnosed as having fructose intolerance. If you've read our other posts we talk about symptoms, how to take the test...all of it from beginning to, well, right now! We're still in the midst of eating a fructose free diet- if you are then you know it's a challenge.

Natural fructose and artificial is difficult to stay away from, especially when you're a kid!
I have been researching fructose free recipes. There is such little out there regarding fructose free.

Gluten is the very popular, the problem is some gluten free recipes have fructose. I was pleasantly surprised when I found this site http://www.ifood.tv/network/fructose_free/recipes  - yeah forget about it- its got all kinds of fructose in it- the natural kind. How misleading is that!!! Carrots, tomatoes...come on people!!!!!

So now I have begun compiling some of our recipes that are TRULY FRUCTOSE FREE. No hidden natural fructose!!! And they are kid tested and approved!! I don't know about your kids, but my 3 don't like foods with lots of different spices and sauces...a lot of those sauces have honey anyways. Be careful when you see recipes that say fructose free- sometimes they mean no hfcs or sugar free and in reality they have natural fructose. Always remember your list of fructose free foods to stay away from.

Good luck to you in your fructose free eating. If you have a recipe feel free to share :)

Recipes to come :)
