Here's what I think would be helpful to the community. Have a webpage where every powdered product is listed with columns that have X's and amounts in the boxes under categories such as Protein-Carbs-Omegas-Fiber-Probiotics-Enzymes, etc. That way pe…
I believe that you have your problem and that if you have fructose malabsorption you have problems with FOS as well. What I was trying to point out is that FOS is not necessarily a problem ingredient in most fruits which is what I understood your pr…
Most people who suffer from fructose malabsorption issues also have issues with FOS. Has anyone heard of FODMAP's?

This might help explain why some people ha…
How do you isolate it out as the culprit?
As far as I know, FOS is not an issue with most fruit. Don't let the fructo part fool you. There are glucose-fructose sub units in the structure, but it is not the same as straight up fructose. FOS is a complex sugar, not a simple one. FOS/Inulin is…
I find the yellow pea protein makes me bloated....
So how do you do the Thrive diet then if you have issues with FOS... i was diagnosed with fructose malabsorption 3 years ago and was on a fruit/grains/dairy/legume and some veggie free diet for 2 years and have now been eating a wider variety of foo…
As far as I know FOS has been in the products from day one, but I could be wrong.
That would be great!
thanks!

Hmm.
Well if they didn't use these in the formula a number of years ago, that Could be the culprit I'm looking for.

What's FOS?
I don't currently have a bottle of WFO.
Jay, FYI, I don't have a flora imbalance and I still bloat bad. Both the osteopath and naturopath tell me there are lots of people who simply can't handle either FOS and Inulin whether used as an additive or in the veggies and nuts they are naturall…
For me it's a matter of the bloating from the FOS. I just rotate the products around in my smoothies and dont really pay attention to what they are designed for other than the Vega sport performance optimizer.
I love the coconut date energy bars in the Thrive Diet book.
Thanks for the regiment info.
I'll keep it in mind. Finances dictate I can't be on all of these products right now, but I'm making an effort to enjoy Some of them. :)
The VSPP was designed as a recovery formula to be put in post workout for speedy delivery of quality protein. Currently WFHO, VSPO and VSPP are staples of my trainning program. I use VSPO first thing in the AM for my first workout then make a huge s…
