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

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
