Artificial sweetners

[Gidget50]

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🙃
