Brown Sugar Question

I cannot have any sugar more refined than evaporated cane juice. Everyone I have asked says that brown sugar is just refined white sugar mixed with molasses which means I cannot eat it. Is there any natural brown sugar or a brown sugar substitute I can use in recipes. I am putting together my Thanksgiving menu and running into problems with this.

Thanks so much

Here's a link that I found that describes the difference between beet sugar and cane sugar, and also brown sugars.

I hear that Agave nectar is low glycemic, if that's what your problem is.

Not sure about your sugar/health problem but some subs for sugar depending on the recipe can be:

unsweetened applesauce

pureed banana, peaches, berries, pears or apricots

pure maple syrup

agave nectar

honey

evaporated cane juice

date syrup/sugar

stevia

xylitol

molasses

pineapple, apple juice

you can google to see what could work for you the best

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
