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

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
