Do you mean specifically gluten free sugar free products or sugar free products in general?

Sweeteners in particular.

So, are you asking if artificial sweetners such as aspertame, sucralose, and sorbitol are gluten-free? Help us out here, we need more specifics about what you want to know about artificial sweetners. We aren't mind readers.

I have been a Celiac for years, but have not had to watch my sugar intake.  I have experienced side affects from using sugar substitutes such as monk fruit, erythritol based ones.  I was interested to see if anyone else have had the same experience?

Thanks for the additional information about what input you were seeking.

Artificial sugar substitutes like sucralose do not cause any issues for me. All the natural sugar substitutes like xylitol and sorbitol (all the "sugar-alcohols") give me the toots real bad, except for erythritol because erythritol is almost entirely absorbed before it gets to the colon. However, erythritol gives me loose stools if I use too much or use it too regularly. So, what I do with erythritol is use it half and half with real sugar. Monk fruit gives me gut aches sometimes.

Are you diabetic?

No pre diabetic, thus the reason I started the substitutes.

Yes, I was asking if anyone else had problems with it.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
