I've read many different items on Herr, but it was from 2005. I need to know what artificial sweetners I can use everyday to put on my coffee and bake with.  I've always used Stevia but quit a few weeks ago bc it has dextrose with maltodextrin. 

Thank you🤗

Pure Stevia is naturally gluten-free, but since anything can get contaminated during processing you may want to look for a brand that has "gluten-free" on the packaging just to be safe.

Dextrose with maltodextrin are gluten-free:

I have to also watch high fodmaps, and Dextrose and Maltodextrin was on that list to not have. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that🥴. So I'm just needing to know what sweetners are safe for both gluten and low fodmap diets.

To add to my above comment I had read that Dextrin and maltodextrin may contain wheat, so that was also supposed to be in my original message, sorry Scott🤗

Dextrin and maltodextrin can be derived from various sources, including wheat, which contains gluten. However, in most cases, dextrin and maltodextrin used in food products are processed in a way that removes the gluten and renders them gluten-free. It's essential to check the labeling and ingredient list on the specific product you are considering, as manufacturers are required to indicate if their product contains wheat. In the USA if wheat were used to make either it would need to be disclosed on the ingredients, and many years ago one of the major celiac disease support groups contacted the largest manufacturers of these ingredients and found that they are made using corn.

Oh I see..I thought that dextrose and Maltodextrin  ingredients in all foods contained wheat. I do check all labels and if im not sure what the ingredients are I look it up. I've been avoiding foods that had these 2 ingredients, lol! So, I'll have more food choices now🤗🤣

Thank you Scott🙃

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
