Product Description
Once a little-known diagnosis, Fructose Malabsorption (FM) is increasingly being identified as a principal source of digestive difficulties. Experts estimate FM to be the cause of 45-75% of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cases. Born of frustration created by the lack of available information about FM, the Ledfords have compiled the most comprehensive resource to date. After more than two years of extensive research, FMer's finally have purposeful guidance through the confusing array of contradictions which accompany FM. Packed with information, lists, recipes, support, and resources, this useful resource provides relief for perplexed suffers and encouragement toward a "normal" life. |

THE VERY BEST INFORMATION on FRUCTOSE INTOLERENCE you will find by DEBBIE (PARAMUS, NJ)  5 Stars
October 29, 2009
I want to thank the author for this informative book. Nowhere can you find such incredible information any place.( NOT HOSPITALS, NOT DOCTORS, CERTAINLY NOT NUTRITIONISTS!) I tried three nutritionists to no avail (they were misguided and misinformed)infact they hurt my daughter with misinformation. I will keep this book as if it was our bible. I am purchasing copies for my daughters doctors as even pediatric gastroenterologists and general pediatricians do not know as much as this person about this malady. (sadly so many people and kids go undiagnosed even when all the signs are there) My parents will also have copies as will the school nurse and anyone else that deals with my child. ***Do not look elsewhere for the info found here, you will NOT find it anywhere but in this book. The internet usually is a treasure trove of information but NOT on this subject and what is there is often incorrect or is missing many important pieces of information. The author complied things that you need to knowfor health and the safety of the patient. My daughter has improved since we have followed the nutrition info in this book. Just the simple info on what fruits and vegetables contain what amounts of fructose is amazing as is the scientific explanations on how sugars differ and how they bind together to hurt or not hurt you. Please, if you have this disorder or know someone who does, please buy this book! If you are looking for a good book for a Holiday gift for your physician, this is it! Great for medical students as well.I give it a 5 star rating and would have gladly paid far more than the purchase price. BRAVO!

Finally, a complete book for the FM newbies! Thank You! by J. Allen (Grove City, PA United States) 5 Stars
October 23, 2009
My 15 y.o. daughter was diagnosed with FM a month ago. It has been so difficult to know what is ok to eat and what isn't. I was NOT a cook before, but now I have to be. Betty Crocker and I have become best friends (you have to make gravy and salad dressing from scratch). When reading this book, I felt like they were talking about us. I hate going to the grocery store, because there is not much you can buy and it is very depressing. I think not only is my daughter depressed, but so am I. I now have to pack her lunch for school everyday bc she can't eat at the cafeteria. I don't know what she will do when she goes to college. It seems like life changes so much bc of this problem. I loved the section in the book that her husband wrote. I feel like I'm him, it made me cry. The tables, charts and lists of good/bad foods are EXTREMELY helpful. They are right, every list you get from the experts is a little different. The recipes were just great...I refer to them all the time now.

Fructose Intolerance by Loel M. Gervais (Hemet, Calif. USA) 5 Stars
September 25, 2009
This is excellent, up to date information. We have spent many hours trying to get this info, even Dr.s don't know about it, nor nutritionists. Fructose intolerance is very difficult to identify. For years a child in my family (who also has Crohn's Disease) is doing so much better since avoiding fructose. This book has the best information available anywhere. We are giving it to our Dr.s and dietians, family, etc. to help educate them.

If you are one of the millions of people suffering from IBS, immediate help is finally at hand. Contrary to what many believe, eating for IBS does not mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, boring food, or a limited and therefore unhealthy diet. It does mean learning to eat safely by realizing how different foods physically affect the GI tract, and how these foods can prevent or trigger IBS. For example: * There are two kinds of fiber...one soothes the colon but the other can cause...
