IF you want to do an experiment, simply eat white rice and meatfish, OR white potatoes and meat/fish for one week.

There are some permissable vegetables such as spinach and red leaf lettuce, some celery, cucumbers, mushrooms.

Be sure to check out the lists of fructose content of foods, because my information about the vegetables might not be totally accurate.

Have no soda pop, no honey, no table sugar, no candy, etc. You already are wheat & gluten free, and that supposedly reduces the fructose load alot.

You can order pure glucose at amazon, it's corn sugar and it's used for brewing beer. It contains no fructose. I think that cornmeal doesn't either, but corn does. Cornstarch is safe.

Some of my friends have been shocked what two weeks on an old fashioned "unhealthy" diet of "white foods" and lots of meat did for their general health and well being.

If you are researching this for your children, then please be sure to check out all the HFI websites. That is short for "hereditary fructose intolerance." Yeah, it's rare, but the reason I advise you to study those sites is that those forums are filled with parents trying to find suitable food for their toddlers and children - and thus there are extensive listings of all SAFE commercial candies and SAFE breakfast cereals & processed foods. One of the midwest universities also has an extensive website, but I can't recall the state - and I'm unsure if it's HFI or FRUCTMAL specific, or both.

Good Luck to you.

Goodby, Marie.
