Low Fructose Foods – What You Should Consider with Diagnosed Fructose Intolerance
To live as symptom-free as possible with diagnosed fructose intolerance, conscious eating is necessary. This requires a critical look at your diet – not only industrially processed foods but also many natural foods contain a high fructose content.
Eating foods like grapes, pears, or products made from them can cause discomfort. On the other hand, there are numerous low-fructose or fructose-free foods from nature that you can easily incorporate into your diet.
Low-Fructose / Fructose-Free Foods from Nature
- Meat / Fish
- Eggs
- Dairy products (unprocessed)
- Pasta / Rice / Grains
- Legumes / Nuts
- Pseudo-grains (Quinoa, Amaranth, etc.)
- Fats / Vegetable oils
- Herbs / Spices (Basil, Parsley)
A diet consisting exclusively of fructose-free foods is nearly impossible – so aim for a good balance. We'll show you some tips on how to incorporate low-fructose foods into your meal plan:
- Focus on Vitamins
With a low-fructose diet, it's important to ensure that your body gets enough vitamins and nutrients. Low-fructose foods like carrots, potatoes, apricots, or mandarins and lemons are suitable for this.
- Distribute Meals
Preparing several smaller meals is doubly worthwhile: it helps to avoid simple cravings and adds variety to your diet, allowing you to combine low-fructose and fructose-free foods with fructose-containing foods in various ways.
- Gentle Preparation
Especially regarding nutrients, the preparation of low-fructose foods plays an important role. As a rule of thumb: the more gently you prepare the meal, the more nutrients are retained, making the meal more wholesome.
- Be Careful with Ingredients
Consider the glucose-fructose ratio in all foods. The more glucose relative to fructose, the easier it is for the body to absorb fructose in the intestine. Also, avoid certain sugar substitutes like sorbitol or xylitol.
