I'd like to start a discussion on fructose malabsorption, how to control it, what to eat and not eat, etc. . Is anybody interested?

Definitely since fructose is one of the sources of fuel for SIBO and other GI issues

Have you heard of and/or tried low FODMAP? I was diagnosed with GERD 20+ years ago but recently they found I am fructose intolerant. They put me on the FODMAP elimination diet/eating plan. Haven't felt better in years. Still in the food reintroduction phase. Lots of good information out there. Starting to think I never really had GERD.

Hello, I am sitting here thinking that sounds like me. Doctors diagnose acid reflux disease I was given Omeprizole. Having a lot of burning in upper abdomen after a meal but even upon awakening feeling the slight burn. I'd like to learn more about this because I am afraid to eat anything. Stopped eating meat 10 months now, hard to digest. I really need help.

I forgot to mention I also eat quick oats, as oatmeal and as a substitute for wheat in meatloaf.

@sandyabbey, @guthealth, @baponline, @kay57. I hope you get this message; I'm new to this site. Anyway, I just discovered an awesome web site:
Lifewithfructosemalabsorption.blogspot.com. One thing she doesn't include is the Boston University sugars table at bu.edu. It was designed for those with hereditary fructose intolerance, which is a totally different disease than fm, but it is useful for giving all the different words for sugars. Ignore whether it says you can tolerate the sugar or not. Note also that glycerin = glycerol.

Yes I am

Hi. Thanks for the recipe it'll be good for my 88 years young mother. I have totally eliminated meat from my diet as it upsets my stomach. I only eat seafood and veggies, no butter, milk, nuts, and the list goes on.

Will definitely keep the recipe. Sounds easy to make and delicious. I am off grains right now and not able to eat it, but don’t doubt I will be able to eat it in the future. For those in the early stages of recovery like me, watch out for too many grains, including rice. It can be tough to digest. My nutritionist said is a no no for now. I ate rice all my life without problems until I developed this bout of antibiotic induced colitis. So I don’t doubt I will get back to it someday. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Interestingly, I am not allowed to eat rice but can eat rice crackers because the protein has been largely digested in the process of making the flour.

Not restricted from spices per se. Just no onions or garlic right now. I always check the FODMAP list or email my nutritionist if in doubt. I use salt, pepper, can use garlic infused olive oil but no garlic. I use cinnamon and vanilla extract. Nutritionist does not want me eating a lot of potatoes right now either. Take longer to digest. I am allowed to have a few spoonfuls of rice and a few bites of potato here and there. Just not regularly I have tried reintroducing lentils and can eat them in small amounts if properly cooked. I have no problem consuming meats, eggs, etc. Everybody is different.

@leila I am able to tolerate most spices accept for Cajun or things that are really hot. But I do very well with Italian seasoning which I put on my salm on steak, also turmeric, food ole salt & pepper, no garlic at all it immediately upsets my tummy. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. I really never used a lot of spices in my cooking even before my diagnosis. I also use only evil or canola oil for cooking. Have a blessed day 😊
