Some of us have different problems with food...some are easily solved and others not so easily. Helen Mark had problems with food and when she was diagnosed with IBS and Fructose Malabsorption she went on the path of investigating the problem and all that that entails. Fructose Malabsorption is a disorder of the digestive system where the sufferer is unable to fully digest food high in fructose content, or which has an unbalanced fructose to glucose characteristic...more on this on Helen's website...here
Helen set up her own website as a means of helping not only herself, but others to cope with the problems that come with these conditions. There is a wealth of information on her website and a variety of recipes... The Spinach Soup with Crispy Prosciutto is an easy, delicious and excellent soup for FM sufferers and also for those of us who don't have a problem with food...here.

Helen explains on the website the problems that are incurred in eating the incorrect foods and explains which foods are better than others for some people...but also states in her website that everyone is an individual and we all have different levels of tolerance, so everyone has to test for themselves. Helen is a "foodie" and she just loves cooking and entertaining friends. I spent an hour with Helen listening to her talk about her reconstructed old recipes and the creativity that goes into the new ones, it was fascinating and really made me want to get cooking and tasting...oh, so many mouth watering goodies...
