I have a friend who has just been diagnosed with fructose intolerance, and she's having a hard time finding any info about the fructose content of various foods. She came across the website for the "Tuesday Club" at Open Original Shared Link, which claims to have this amazing detection diet (which she doesn't need since she already knows what the problem is) and lots of info about various special diets, including one for fructose intolerance - at the low, low price of $100 for 2 months' access! <_< Since they also have a section on gluten-free diets, she wondered if I knew anything about it. I don't - and I'm naturally suspicious of sites with a hefty access fee - but I told her I'd ask here if anyone has any experience with it.

For that matter, if anyone has any resources regarding fructose intolerance, please let me know and I'll pass them on to her. Thanks!

You might want to google "Small bowel bacterial overgrowth". Sometimes intolerances to starches and sugars can be caused by that. Treatment is pretty simple, just a course of antibiotics like rifamixin.

Yikes $100!!

There are no secrets to an Elimination Diet.

Besides online, I'd hit the local library for info on fructose-free. Surely it's at least a part of some book.

Hi, I tried out that website last summer when I was first experimenting with elimination diets. My advice - it wasn't really worth it. I found better information in the book:

Food Allergies and Food Intolerance: The Complete Guide to Their Identification and Treatment by Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin

And what ultimately helped me nail down my intolerances was Enterolab testing and York Labs testing (the one in England).

She's been through quite a long process of elimination diets, antibiotics for bad intestinal bacteria, and all sorts of other things. She's working with a good GI who she likes, and she's pretty sure that she has the right diagnosis at this point. What she needs to know is how to get accurate information regarding the fructose content of foods. (It's not part of the standard nutritional information that's listed on most foods.)

Thanks for the book recommendation; I'll pass that along.

Open Original Shared Link

has great info including fructose content of almost all foods. And it's free.

The source database for nutriondata.com is the Open Original Shared Link which lists, amongst a large number of other things, fructose content of most foods.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
