I would love to make this new recipe however it calls for a lot of granulated sugar. What natural sweeteners could I use in place of granulated sugar?

I would love to hear about your Swedish Torte recipes!

Thanks!

What Ive been doing is boil the fruits in a sweet desert wine and use half the sugar.

Its not so sweet BUT it doesn't need to be because the complexity of the wine gives it a bit of extra ...

it depends on what it is being used for in the recipe... agave nectar is a good replacement (all natural with a low GI). in all of my recipes, I always only use 1/3 of the sugar is calls for anyway, and replace that with honey or sucanat (pending what the recipe is).

My oldest daughter replaces ALL of the sugar in her recipes by honey (half the amount, since honey is twice as sweet as sugar), because her husband is intolerant to sugar. Her cakes, cookies etc. turn out fine. I will use maple syrup instead, as I can't tolerate honey.

I've read about Stevia, though since I have no sweet tooth I haven't tried it yet. The next time I need a sweetener though, that's probably what I'd use if fruit isn't a better option. Apple sauce (the unsweetened one) has worked for me in stuff like hot rice cereals, but generally I never use a sweetener for desserts since they would typically contain fruit anyway.

Another natural sweetener I just read about is Open Original Shared Link. Apparently our bodies actually make the stuff in small amounts normally, though people report a certain amount of discomfort when using some larger amounts, so I'd tend not to trust that one too much.

The other thing I do is use almond flour in the gluten-free flour mix.

You can use the end of the wine you used as a base for a glaze as well.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
