Low Fructose Recipes

For the past ten years, the number of people who suffer from fructose intolerance has increased considerably. Most of the time, it’s due to poor absorption produced by an alteration in the gut microbiota. On other occasions, it happens because its transporter saturates after excessive consumption. This is why we’d like to show you some low fructose recipes suitable for both you and your children, to make your parenting life easier.

Low fructose recipes

Before we begin, we’d like to point out that all recipes contain 0.035 ounces of fructose, so your children will be able to tolerate them. In addition, we advise your children to eat these meals separately and not combine them with whole fruits.
