Looking for Sugar Free and Gluten Free

EasterLily

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Since starting the gluten free diet, I have suddenly become very sensitive to sugar. It makes me extremely nauseous. But I really enjoy pancakes and waffles, but the syrup   - which is gluten free - has been make me sick to my stomach, so I am assuming it's from the sugar. I have been trying to find a sugar free/gluten free syrup but I am finding the sugar free versions contain gluten. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't eat that much to begin with during healing because I seem to super sensitive to everything. Thanks in advance.

Try real maple syrup.  ?

Oh, the waffles and pancakes?  There might be additives (e.g. Xanthan Gum), etc. added to the gluten-free flours or the flour blend (e.g. Tapioca, potato) that you might be intolerant to.    These are processed foods.  Try sticking to a Whole Foods diet so you can identify intolerances during the early stages of healing.  

What to eat for breakfast?  Try dinner.  Sweet potato, rice, banana, chicken....whatever!

Try the brands Waldens Farms and Natures Hallow

Waldens makes a pancake syrup, blue berry, strawberry, Carmel, and chocolate syrups. Now they also make jams but I really dislike their jams.

Natures Hallow makes Honey, maple syrup, and jams really expensive but quite good they use xylitol in theirs now there is a introduction curve with xylitol to your body. First introduction can cause gas issues til you get used to it.

Polmar Jam is great and so is Smuckers in the Sugar Free versions I use them all the time.

I know the pain of the sugar issues, I  have UC and can not have sugars  or carbs. BUT I  CRAVE THEM, these alternatives have helped. I also use a blend of monk fruit and eyerythritol or xylitol in alot of my foods or use Swirve Sweetener in my homemade icecreams.

Thanks for the information. I didn't think about additives. I suspected the syrup because when I eat sugary snacks like candy, ice cream, ect.. I get very nauseous which has never happened before. Eating any type of "meal" right now is difficult because the nausea and bloating are so bad I can only eat a little at a time. Withdrawal has begun, so I'm a bit more nauseous and bloated, I have diarrhea something fierce and I am lightheaded, dizzy yet starving. :(

The enzymes to digest lactose (milk sugar) is released from the villi tips.  If you have intestinal damage, you may be lactose intolerant (hopefully, it is just temporary).  So, consider skipping the ice cream.  Choose lactose free versions instead or dairy that contains the least lactose, like hard cheeses or yogurt.  

Also, a damaged gut can respond to well-cooked foods.  Think stews and soups until you see improvement.

      Dried Chickpeas

      I agree with your post and have had similar experiences. I'm commenting to add the suggestion of also using nutritional yeast as a supplement. It's a rich source of B vitamins and other nutrients, and some brands are further supplemented with additional B12. I sprinkle a modest amount in a variety of savory recipes.

      Dried Chickpeas

      If a package of dried chickpeas or lentils says “may contain” or “may have been cross contaminated,” that usually means they were processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. The concern is not gluten dissolved on the surface like dust that can simply be rinsed away, but small fragments of gluten-containing grains that may be mixed in duri...

      Dried Chickpeas

      Welcome, While picking through chickpeas and lentils I have found little pebbles and on occasion, a kernel or two of wheat. Farm equipment and transport trucks are used to harvest different crops. It would be really expensive to have separate trucks and packaging lines for each crop. I have found sorting or picking through the peas or lentils...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Thoughtidjoin! I would think so, yes. But you need to realize that cross contamination studies with lintels have shown the real problem isn't only coming in contact with gluten containing grains in processing but in the actual mixing in of cereal grain seeds in significant quantities with the lentils. I think it...

      I think you're reading way too much into this study--it is a large population-based study, and when they do these they aim not to focus it on a particular smaller sub-set of the population, in fact, they take measures to be sure that doesn't happen.

      If a package of dried chickpeas or lentils says “may contain” or “may have been cross contaminated,” that usually means they were processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. The concern is not gluten dissolved on the surface like dust that can simply be rinsed away, but small fragments of gluten-containing grains that may be mixed in during harvesting, storage, or packaging. Rinsing and sorting can reduce surface flour and remove visible stray grains, and many people do this successfully, but it does not guarantee that all gluten contamination is eliminated. Some limited testing has shown that naturally gluten-free grains and legumes can contain measurable gluten when cross-contact occurs in shared facilities, which is why manufacturers use precautionary labeling. The seriousness depends on the individual: for someone with celiac disease, even small amounts of gluten can trigger intestinal damage, so choosing certified gluten-free legumes is the safest option. Manufacturers are not necessarily being overly cautious; they are often acknowledging real cross-contact risk in complex agricultural supply chains.

      Welcome,  While picking through chickpeas and lentils I have found little pebbles and on occasion, a kernel or two of wheat.  Farm equipment and transport trucks are used to harvest different crops.  It would be really expensive to have separate trucks and packaging lines for each crop.   I have found sorting or picking through the peas or lentils along with a good rinse sufficient to make them safe for me.  Do remember that lentils and such are high in carbohydrates.  Eating a diet high in carbs can lower thiamine B1.  Good sources of Thiamine and other B vitamins are meats.  Extra thiamine is needed for tissue repair to grow the villi back and recovery from malabsorption.  Low thiamine symptoms (gastric Beriberi) are very similar to symptoms of a glutening.  Try adding thiamine hydrochloride or Benfotiamine and see if you still react to chickpeas and lentils the same way. Supplementing with extra thiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Best wishes.

I think it was a study done by Gluten Free Watchdog I'm thinking of but they did an actual count of the seeds in a purchased mainline food company bag of lintels and found something like 20% of the content was wheat seeds. So, you'd better do some sorting first.

      Can I wash gluten off dried chickpeas or green lentils when the packet says “may have been cross contaminated?” Has there been any research into this?  If so what are the results? If no research has been done why not? I am getting mixed advice from different sources, how serious is this or are the food manufacturer being over cautious? Many thanks Catherine
