Two Fructose Free Parties!!

Hello! Thanks to diligent family members we had a 

FRUCTOSE FREE 4th of JULY!!

Here's how we did it:

My 3 cuties!

Aunt Lissa made homemade marshmallows and turned them into rice krispie treats

Grandma read EVERY LABEL (so important!) and had the right breads, pasta and turkey for Nate- made sandwiches without tomato for Nate too, used no fructose gravy in her Swedish meatballs(which Nate loved!)

Fructose free turkey sandwiches!

Blueberries and Rasberries were in bowls (instead of apple slices and grapes)

Had a spread of fructose free candy in bowls like NERDS and SMARTIES

Read those labels! These are fructose free but most are not!

Made Kool-aid for all the kids and had water- instead of juiceboxes

Desserts were made with cane sugar 

Homemade marshmallow make these safe for Nathan

Nana had Ben & Jerry's Icecream that contained no fructose (natural or hfcs)

And there you have it!! 

It is possible to host a party of 40 people and have a large selection of fructose free options!! 

A special thanks to all the awesome family members that made it possible for Nate to eat and be bellyache free!!

Fructose free jello!

When you're FRUCTOSE INTOLERANT it is so important to read labels- it's not trying to be healthy or loose weight- my goodness for Nate it's the opposite- we're trying to gain weight!!! It's very important to keep in mind natural fructose as well as hfcs and sugars. And it may seem like we are loading him up with table sugar but in actuality that's just a small portion of his new diet. Meats and potatoes and diary and veggies are our staple! Good luck in your fructose free journey. I hope you all have as much support as we do :)
