Brown Sugar Question

I cannot have any sugar more refined than evaporated cane juice. Everyone I have asked says that brown sugar is just refined white sugar mixed with molasses which means I cannot eat it. Is there any natural brown sugar or a brown sugar substitute I can use in recipes. I am putting together my Thanksgiving menu and running into problems with this.

Thanks so much

Here's a link that I found that describes the difference between beet sugar and cane sugar, and also brown sugars.

I hear that Agave nectar is low glycemic, if that's what your problem is.

Not sure about your sugar/health problem but some subs for sugar depending on the recipe can be:

unsweetened applesauce

pureed banana, peaches, berries, pears or apricots

pure maple syrup

agave nectar

honey

evaporated cane juice

date syrup/sugar

stevia

xylitol

molasses

pineapple, apple juice

you can google to see what could work for you the best

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      By Recently diagnosed · Posted

      Winter typically ranges from about freezing to minus 13 fahrenheit. We have occasional thaws. We live 2 blocks from the longest skating rink in the world. There are downhill ski hills within 30 minutes drive and we can walk to set cross country ski trails. When dressed appropriately we can walk to Parliament buildings, national museums and art galleries, many restaurants and services.

      Positive blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Pinkwells19! Can you be more specific about what the name of the test was that scored a 13? There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be run to test for celiac disease. Also, can you give the range that was used for positive vs. negative on the blood test. There are no industry standards for these tests so we need both the test score and the ranges. Was there only one blood test ordered? Please list all tests that were ordered. So, after the blood test they did an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which was negative. Correct?  Has your daughter begun the gluten free diet yet?

      Thank you both... yes it's a big mystery and seems so inconclusive. However the biopsy is a huge piece and my history of symptoms. I agree too, that the on and off of eating gluten-free probably messes with the tests. I recently had IGA SERUM (147) and TTG IGA ANTIBODY (>1.23) and had been eating gluten-free for about 6 days. Prior to that a low gluten diet that didn't seem to give symptoms when before, even a low gluten diet did. SO odd. Got a msg from the GI Dr that I should try a gluten challenge and I am concerned with feeling awful. I wish there was a definitive diagnostic test that just told me yes or no. I just don't want to eat gluten if I am damaging my insides without even...

      My daughters blood work was positive  it was a 13 we done a biopsy last yr said had a ulcer in the stomach and looked very irritated and started to bleed she said most likely it will come back positive, but it came back negative. My daughter loves red sauce and does not eat the best. She is eight years old so we cut back on red sauces and chocolates year later we do same bloodwork everything stayed the same never got better never got worse symptoms is nauseous headaches stomach aches once in a while has ear infections numbness of hands n feet my question is should I redo a biopsy what do others think she did test positive for one genetic test and negative for one

      Yes, I'd like to know also if a "total IGA" test was ever ordered. It checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, it will likely render the individual celiac IGA antibody tests invalid. Total IGA goes by other names as well:  Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test People who are IGA deficient should have IGG tests run as well. Check this out:    I am also wondering if your on again/off again gluten free experimentation has sabotaged your testing. For celiac disease testing to be valid, one must be eating generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the test.
