my granddaughter has been diagnosed as having fructose malabsorption. She is also allergic to potato, pineapple, green olives, shellfish and has been advised to go gluten free and avoid wheat...but most gluten free uses potato starch so she can't use those products. We are currently looking for a recipe for bread using only oat flour. Any one have suggestions or know of cookbooks for fructose malabsorption? |

infonolan.hubpages.com/hub/Fructose-Malabsorption unlike wheat; rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, etc. are mostly low in fructose. Rye bread (low in wheat) may work well as an alternative.) Fruits with a high fructose content can be rendered safe for people with fructose malabsorption by cooking the fruit with dextrose. Dextrose acts as a counteracting agent for fructose. I would recommend dextrose supplements for all individuals suffering from fructose malabsorption, just incase you end up eating some fruit and vegies outside of your normal diet. During the cooking process the excess fructose in the fruit bonds with the dextrose monohydrate, creating a sugar molecule (sucrose) which still tastes sweet but which will not provoke symptoms in an individual who suffers from a fructose malabsorption. |
