I am wondering about Agave syrup/nectar. Does anyone know if it is considered gluten free? I know it is supposed to be just agave, but does anyone know if I should be concerned about how it is processed? :huh: Thanks!

I use agave all the time, no ill effects.

Same here. I have used many brands with no problems.

Although I cannot tolerate fruit anymore, I used this on strawberries, peaches, etc. It brings out the sweetness of the fruit. It's also great in teas and drinks, as it dissolves in cold as well as hot, and it's low on the Glycemic index.

I haven't tried it, but I've read some discussions on the board about it, and it seems that not all brands are the same as far as glycemic index. So if you want to use it for the glycemic thing, it's probably a good idea to choose carefully. From what I've read, it's mostly fructose.

Thanks all! I appreciate the quick feedback!!

I am not too worried about the glycemic index (yet!!), but am trying to get away from ultra refined sugars as they seem to bother me now that I am off gluten (sigh).

      Washing strawberries in water, which you should always do anyway due to pesticides that may be on them, should make them safe.

      Gluten-Free Pre-Workout & Recovery Foods – What’s Your Go-To?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is possible you have an additional food intolerance, possibly to milk/casein?  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.

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      By Olenaideole · Posted

      Hey @trents, thanks! Yeah I’ve used Scan Gluten Free too at some point. It works, though like you said, those databases aren’t always super current. I also used Mitch (getmitch.app). But it’s not an app, just a simple web tool that reads the ingredient list and highlights hidden gluten, risky additives, and cross-contamination notes. But not bad for double-checking labels when things look suspicious.
