Sugar

I have what I believe is a "celiac belly" so I am going to try to cut sugar out for a while to see if anything improves. I can't do anything about natural surgar in fruits but I want to try to cut back on my sugar intake (with what I can).

When I make breakfast muffins and some other things that call for sugar...

*What can I sub in place of the sugar?

Thank you!!

Depending on the recipe, for muffins, I sometimes reduce the sugar and add unsweetened applesauce. You could try banana puree or some people that can't have sugar use baby food like apricot puree...make 1/2 recipe to try the subs. Once I forgot to add sugar to a chocolate muffin recipe so I frosted them and you couldn't tell the difference. I have put applesauce in pumpkin bread and even in brownies before.

If I were to sub with applesauce is there a rule of thumb on what the ratio is...

Like say it calls for 1/3 cup sugar then would I sub equal amount of applesauce?

Thanks

If you only use a little in muffins it should be fine straight across. I use 1/2 and 1/2 or guess at it. You can but those little 6 packs of applesauce if you don't want to get a big jar.

Thank you Purple for your reply, I always appreciate your input :D

I think I will test the applesauce out in a breakfast muffin recipe I have. I buy the 6 pack of Mott's Natural Applesauce so luckily I don't have to go to the store for that.

How did you learn all of this stuff?? Certain Cook book in particular or trial and error?

Thanks again!

I try to convert all my recipes to use honey. I posted banana bread on here that only used honey (& choc chips if desired!) to sweeten. Over-ripe bananas are very sweet to start with though.

You may need to reduce a liquid a bit b/c of the moisture in the applesauce. Applesauce can be part of a replacement for vegetable oil.

I like to read the comments people write in before I make something new. Recipezaar is great for that, here too. Then I make 1/2 a recipe or the whole thing. Trial and error. I threw out split pea soup last week. And crackers last month. You just never know. ;)

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
