I've read many different items on Herr, but it was from 2005. I need to know what artificial sweetners I can use everyday to put on my coffee and bake with.  I've always used Stevia but quit a few weeks ago bc it has dextrose with maltodextrin. 

Thank you🤗

Pure Stevia is naturally gluten-free, but since anything can get contaminated during processing you may want to look for a brand that has "gluten-free" on the packaging just to be safe.

Dextrose with maltodextrin are gluten-free:

I have to also watch high fodmaps, and Dextrose and Maltodextrin was on that list to not have. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that🥴. So I'm just needing to know what sweetners are safe for both gluten and low fodmap diets.

To add to my above comment I had read that Dextrin and maltodextrin may contain wheat, so that was also supposed to be in my original message, sorry Scott🤗

Dextrin and maltodextrin can be derived from various sources, including wheat, which contains gluten. However, in most cases, dextrin and maltodextrin used in food products are processed in a way that removes the gluten and renders them gluten-free. It's essential to check the labeling and ingredient list on the specific product you are considering, as manufacturers are required to indicate if their product contains wheat. In the USA if wheat were used to make either it would need to be disclosed on the ingredients, and many years ago one of the major celiac disease support groups contacted the largest manufacturers of these ingredients and found that they are made using corn.

Oh I see..I thought that dextrose and Maltodextrin  ingredients in all foods contained wheat. I do check all labels and if im not sure what the ingredients are I look it up. I've been avoiding foods that had these 2 ingredients, lol! So, I'll have more food choices now🤗🤣

Thank you Scott🙃

      Contaminated cooking oils

      Consider California olive oils, as they seem to be very pure, and as @RMJ mentioned, look for certified gluten-free ones.

      You’re already making significant strides toward healing, which is great to see. It's not uncommon to experience persistent or new symptoms during the early stages of a gluten-free diet, especially since full healing can take time and other underlying issues might still need addressing. Here are some thoughts and suggestions based on what you've shared: Regarding Your Current Symptoms: Sweating Issues and Heat Intolerance: These might be linked to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which can occur with celiac disease. You may want to discuss testing for conditions like dysautonomia or neuropathy with your doctor. Dry Skin and Cracked Hands: This can sometimes result from vitamin deficiencies, especially A, E, or zinc, common in untreated celiac disease. Your body's absorption should improve over time, but consider adding skin-friendly moisturizers or consulting a dermatologist for support. Pins and Needles, Weakness, and Dizziness: These could be due to ongoing malabsorption of vitamins like B12, iron, or magnesium. Bloodwork for these deficiencies might provide clarity. Food Sensitivities and Burning Sensations: Many with celiac initially experience heightened food sensitivities or stomach irritation. A low-FODMAP diet or similar temporary approach could help identify and reduce triggers while your gut heals. Fat Malabsorption (Yellow Stools): This suggests your gut still isn’t absorbing fats properly. Pancreatic insufficiency or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) might play a role. Ask your GI about testing for these. Frequent Urination and Sticky Mucus: These could indicate dehydration or another metabolic imbalance. Ensure you're staying hydrated and consider asking about possible thyroid or blood sugar issues. Vitamin and Nutrient Intake: If oral supplements upset your stomach, here are some alternatives: Sublingual or liquid vitamins (especially B12 and D): These are absorbed under the tongue and bypass the gut. Vitamin Injections: Ask your doctor if a short course of injections could address deficiencies like vitamin D or B12. Bone Broth: It can provide nutrients like collagen and minerals while being gentle on the stomach. Long-Term Diet Improvements: Your current diet is understandably limited to avoid triggering symptoms, but diversification will help as your gut heals. Working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease could be invaluable to safely reintroduce foods and build a balanced diet. Next Steps: Follow up with your GI about your ongoing symptoms and consider further testing (e.g., nutrient levels, SIBO, or pancreatic function). Ask your doctor about working with specialists, like a neurologist or endocrinologist, if symptoms like dizziness, sweating issues, or fatigue persist. Be patient with your body—healing can take months or even years for some. Keeping a symptom diary might help identify triggers and measure progress. You're asking the right questions, and it's clear you're doing your best to manage your health. Keep advocating for yourself with your healthcare team, and don't hesitate to seek second opinions if you're not getting answers. Wishing you continued progress and healing!

      Does the same issue happen if you eat a vegan yogurt, kimchee, pickles, etc? Those might be better ways for you to get your probiotics.
