Hi! Fructose malabsorption, egg & treenut allergies, dairy protein sensitivity

Hi, have you considered some paleo blogs? I am sure there would be quite a few recipes you could use. Here are some of the blogs I follow.

I can't add the addresses using my ipad - but if you put in these blog names I am sure you will find them.

I've done the links for you Elle.

Welcome to the forum. Rainbow recipes are all vegan but they tend to substitute with nuts. It may be worth looking at the recipes and reviews here on the forum.

Belfie, have you seen Janella Purcell's book, Cooking for the Seasons? Not a TM book, but I do part of the prep with the TM and very good food and simple to cook for a  family. Would be a lot of recipes that would suit.

[belfie]

thanks for all the links & info everyone. I've just spent some time subbing to lots of blogs - and I'm sure it'll help give me more ideas.  I don't mean to sound like a negative nellie, but in terms of veggie or vegan sites... well by the time I cut out onion, green beans (legumes and I in general... we just don't get along), artichokes, asparagus, honey, coconut milk/cream... I must admit find the recipes quite difficult adapt and still have much of the original flavour! So saying, I can see that from an egg & dairy free perspective they're great.  I'm the fly in the ointment for that particular approach.

Thanks for the tip on the Janella Purcell book, I'll look out for that.

The babaganoush dip is a great idea, and I've already wallowed in the delight that was the KFC chicken!  Having a little more google I know there are more than a few fructose malabsorbers out there with TMXes... it just appears they're a little shy of posting.  I'm going to attempt to tag every modification that I post with the conditions it caters for.  Typically the abbreviation is FF for fructose friendly but thus far I've been spelling it out in full as I get the sense it's fairly new to this community.  The question I have, is would that be enough for new TMXers to find those recipes do you think? I've just tried testing out my theory, and the link to the KFC mix doesn't show up (I put it in the subject) so would I have to put it in the comment instead?  I just worry that's gonna get a bit tedious if I run-around waving my FF, GF, dairy-free, egg-free, tree-nut free banner everywhere...   but i would like to ensure other people can benefit from my experimentation.

The other thing I wonder - is do the consultants know about FM?  Because if they did, I think there's a huge market there. I know i had to send a lot of info to my consultant for her to be able to modify the diet for us.  I had the salad without apple.. but i"ve heard other consultants subbed pineapple and apparently it was great.  Here's the link for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption

thanks!  Happy cooking

belfie,  glad the KFC coating came in handy.  Cookie uses the mix on chips and you could use it on any meat.

Belfie, I think you will have to spell it out each time you make modifications of any recipe on the forum as you are catering to the minority on here.  If you modify a recipe I think just continue doing what you did with the KFC recipe but also maybe start a list in Special Diets on the Home Page.  There you could just keep an ongoing list of all the recipe titles which you have modified and if you have an explanation at the top of the posting (not in the heading) of what FF etc means, then you can just put FF or whatever after you list the recipe. I hope this is clear - I know what I mean  

Oh, forgot to say I did see you had added GF in the heading of KFC where you posted.

Followers of the Buddhist, Jain & Krishna faiths don't eat onion - there could be some good stuff in their cuisines, definitely would be full of flavour. 
Have you tried silken tofu as a replacement for dairy/egg ingredients? It's mild and soft, it's all about the flavours you put with it.  Would add that creamy base for dips if you can't have legumes.

HI Belfie, I too think I have some issues with onion and a few other things.  This forum looks wonderful. I only joined a few mins ago and already I'm overwhelmed at where to start reading.

[mcmich]

Maybe start with the diet thread. Quirky Jo's blog is another starter.

Vivaroo - thanks for that comment. I remember hearing it some time ago, but had totally forgotten to follow up that avenue.  And I haven't tried silken tofu, that's a great suggestion too.

Maddie - there's a lot to look at isn't there!  If it helps, i've just started a thread here (Fructose Friendly (FF) recipes for people with Fructose Malabsorption (FM) to try & just keep a track of any recipes that are fructose friendly.  And at the risk of sounding righteous, there is testing you can do to establish whether you do have fructose malabsorption. It's definitely not a diet you want to be following unncessarily, especially given it does restrict a lot of fruit and vegetables.  If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me about it.

Hi,

Just thought I'd let you know that you are not all alone with FM. I have it too but not your egg and treenut. However I do have gluten and lactose sensitivity.
I think I'd rather be me than you although it is difficult with a lot of recipes that substitute with honey and must be really hard for you when nut flours are used especially without eggs.
 I have only had my TM for 2 weeks but it is a great help avoiding chemicals and going back to first principles.

I just know you will solve your problems and you seem so dedicated. I have been gluten free for 10 years now but only found out about FM about 18 months ago. I believe it is the cause of many of my problems and not enough people are aware of it and the body functions that are effected by it.

Good Luck for someone who can understand what you are up against.

Hi Belfie
Its been a long time since you wrote this but I have just bought a Thermomix two weeks ago and also have fructose malabsorption and lactose intolerance. I cannot do any fruit at all yet as Im still getting better from being so sick with it.

Hoping by now you have a wealth of recipes or even started your our blog by now ??

If you have found any recipes that would be great if you could point me in the right direction.

Converting things for now to foods I can eat but like you said its a bit of trial and error

Unfortunately Belfie hasn't visited the forum for 2 years K so you probably won't receive an answer on this one.
