Mildest Tasting Honey?

I'm looking for honey with the mildest "honey" taste. I'm following the SCD diet, and honey is the only natural sweetener allowed. I don't really like the taste of honey, and wondered if anyone could recommend a mild tasting type?

Clover is supposed to be the mildest flavor.  I have read this because my family has a couple of hives.

clover,  and  it  should  be  local honey  not  honey  from other  countries or  a  combo  from other  countries  &  the  US...You  should  be  able  to find  locally sourced  honey ( clover)  from  your  next  of the  woods...Make sure  it is  PURE honey.... oddly  some honey  is   just  sugars  &  such   not  true  honey... What  has  become  of  our  food  supply. scary....

Ahhh... clover honey. Thank you!

 

I will definitely get a good brand with no additives... and local too, yes, good reminder. Sometimes it's hard remembering all the things we have to think about!

 

It is very scary what our "so called" food supply has become. One of my goals is to grow as many things myself as I can... within the small outdoor space I have. There are fruit, vegetables, and herbs that grow great in pots!. There's nothing like stepping outside to pick something from your own yard.

I'd do clover too. 

I only buy organic honeys and there is a brand that I've tried several different varieties, wild flower, orange blossom, etc. I found that the darker the color of the honey, the less I liked the flavor.

But, I also had to stop eating honey when I figured out that I couldn't tolerate foods that were high in fructose.

If you buy local honey, check to be sure of where it was processed.  I had some trouble with honey I bought and had not checked to see if they process it in their personal kitchen.

Definitely organic, yes.

 

Processed in their personal kitchen seems like a bad idea, the possibility of cc, is that what you mean? I'm going to look for something as local as possible but from a health food store where I can find a brand that says gluten-free on the label. I don't think I could trust anything "homemade" by anyone but me.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Marky0320 · Posted

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By NightRaven92 · Posted

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..
