Cooking great fructose-free food doesn’t have to be difficult. You just need to know the right recipes. On the following page, you will find a collection of websites specialized in tasty recipes for people with fructose malabsorption (dietary fructose intolerance). Besides that, you will see how to easily check recipes for problematic food.
Families Balancing Fructose
“You will find recipes that are fructose balanced and not made with man-made sweeteners; recipes that are healthy, easy to make and kid approved.”
Lindsay, the author, was diagnosed with fructose malabsorption 10 years ago, her 11-year-old daughter when she was 5. Several years later, Lindsay knows what works and how to adjust their daily food intake. Both started their website in March of 2018 as a way to share their story, spotlight products, and share recipes.

Recommended fructose malabsorption cookbook
Book cover and title might be a bit vague, but this book is mainly a guide and cookbook for people suffering from fructose malabsorption. It includes some info about how to deal with it, food tables and over 40 tasty recipes, ranging from breakfast, through mid-day and evening meals, to snacks.
How to easily check recipes for problematic food
Besides relying on specific recipes for fructose malabsorption, you can now easily check any recipe for problematic foods. I recently created a new tool that analyzes recipes and shows you if they are suitable for fructose malabsorption. You can paste ingredients or entire recipes in there and it will automatically mark problematic food for you. Try the new Fructose Malabsorption Recipe Checker!

Hello, my name is Lindsay Sorem. Both my 11 year old daughter and I have FM. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and she was diagnosed when she was 5. When I was diagnosed with FM it was not a well known food intolerance. There were only a few books on the market and less than 10 websites with information.

Thank you for your time.
Kind regards and high hopes

Hi Jacqui,
I totally understand that you are fed up with such a restricted diet. Have you looked into low-fodmap? I have compiled some information about that diet: https://www.fructohelp.com/low-fodmap-diet/ Basically, it is gluten-free, low in fructose and without lactose-containing foods. You can find some cookbook recommendations on the linked page above. Maybe they can give you some inspiration on how to spice up your meal plan. Hope I could help you with that.
