We just started using xylitol and we haven't noticed any problems.

What gluten-free sweeteners do you use besides sugar?

Honey, agave, and stevia, depending on what I'm making and what I'm in the mood for.

Still looking for Agave near me, prbly have to wait till next trec out to Wild Oats. :(

I use honey, splenda, some times fruit juice or raw unprocesed sugar. Realy I perfer to leave sweetners out of most things. "No Sugar Added" I feel is the best plan. Just my take on it. Unless its SPOSED to be sweet, like hot cocoa :D

honey. i don't use any "artificial" sweetners b/c they bother my digestive system in general...meaning splenda, aspartame etc. i have used stevia a few times.

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

Stevia, Xylitol, Honey, Agave Nectar.....no artificial sweeteners for me.

We use stevia, agave, NOW vegetable glycerin (coconut derived, not corn.) :) We don't use artifical sweeteners anymore, they tend to give me headaches.

:blink: WhiteSugar DON't contain Gluten , but lately its been making me have severe headaches and makes me tingle all over( painful/annoying) so I've been avoiding it , like Gluten. I don't feel symptoms when I eat honey,or brown sugar I can eat aspartame ,sorbitol.I'd like to try stevia but I am just now beginning to look into it.

I EAT:HONEY

BROWN SUGAR

ASPARTAME-IN SODA,ICE CREAM PRODUCTS

SORBITOL-IN CHEWING GUM

SPLENDA-IN SUGAR-FREE CANDY,sold by the pound at the supermarket,BUT I HEAR IT'S BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH- and it gives me severe gas,SO I'LL HAVE TO AVOID THAT TOO.

ONE TO TRY: STEVIA

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
