Fructose Malabsorption!!! My recent attempt to reintroduce some foods has NOT been successful, so for now it's back to basics.
A trip to San Francisco on Virgin Atlantic(great airline) confirmed the necessity of always bringing food. There was very little I could eat (Because wheat is a fructan I cant have it, so SOME gluten free foods work well) The gluten free crackers that came with the veggies and dip were delicious! And the veggies were great! But the hummus and curry dips did not come with an ingredient list and I indulged anyways! My guess is there was onion or garlic in one or both and I suffered for days!!!
When my daughter flew up from LA we eagerly set out deciding which vegan friendly restaurant we would visit, would it be Millenium, Greens or Cafe Gratitude? Due to torrential rain, we settled on the closest, Cafe Gratitude. It was a bit challenging to find something without onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar or agave, and very disappointing that there was not one dessert without agave or honey! The vegan thing and eating out just does not work for a fructmal! I ended up with a veggie tamale, black bean, a salad instead of the coleslaw, and some awesome cashew cheese sauce! My daughter had the same with the Mexican cilantro coleslaw which was pronounced delish!!!
The Ferry Building was delightful, the shops and the aromas so inviting. Farm Fresh to you provided enough take out to carry me through a few days of hotel meeting and conference foods, and I did indulge in a gluten free goodie from Mariposa Bakery.
My lesson - next time rent a car!!!!
