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).

      Manitol and mri

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
