Ask Umpa / Sweeteners
« on: March 11, 2013, 05:20:44 PM »
I use Xylitol generally, but I do find that it doesnt dissolve like, say, powdered sugar;  so I tried Truvia in equal substitutiion and had to throw away 2 doz peanut butter cookies!!!  It was horribly bitter.  For liquids I use xylitol, and a Now plus which is xylitol and stevia(i think).  I find that just right for coffee or juice type drinks.  However, I dont know how to bake with the sweeteners... I cant use any artificial type like aspartame, sucralose or even splenda, if I have a choice.  Can you give me some pointers on this matter?  I am also Gluten Free.  Thanks,  Margot

General Questions / Gluten free/celiac + diabetic scenario topics
« on: March 16, 2012, 10:31:43 AM »
I was diagnosed celiac 1year ago and attacked that problem to where I now test negative.  Several months ago I was also diagnosed per-diabetic.  I take no medication but am keeping watch over my blood sugar.  I tended to go hi/low if I wasnt careful wih my eating.  Recently my sugar has gone up and doesn't drop back down like before so I went looking for a solution that I felt I could manage. FTS sounded just right....so I am on Day 2---very hungry, but my sugar is already down.

I have been reading the various posts and checking stuff out on web sites (hours now) and I would love to get feedback from everyone especially on the GF/Diabetic front.  Especially recipes and shortcuts - everything is so very expensive buying online.
