Welcome

We are a family living with fructose malabsorption, but that doesn’t stop us from loving life, eating out, traveling, socializing and thriving. We live each day with balance and an intentional pursuit of joy and happiness.  We choose to eat products that are made from whole real food ingredients and demand transparency on food labels.  

We hope this website brings you guidance, support and inspiration to live a balanced life.  A life spent with friends and family gathered around your table laughing, sharing and eating real food.

On the Families Balancing Fructose website you will find information about Fructose Malabsorption; recipes that are fructose balanced and not made with man-made sweeteners; recipes that are healthy, easy to make and kid approved; a spotlight on safe products and restaurants that are committed to using real food; and blog posts about my family’s journey of living with Fructose Malabsorption and how we can all benefit from eating real food.

Subscribe to my blog to learn more about Fructose Malabsorption resources, new recipes, featured products, articles about FODMAPS, blog posts about our food industry, and tips on how to support loved ones living with Fructose Malabsorption.

Everyone with Fructose Malabsorption tolerates different levels of fructose and has their own unique gut and gut voice. It is best to make a list of what feels good and what doesn’t, listen to your gut voice, and remember it is all about the daily balance.
