Reply to "Sugar Substitutes"

I recently started the FODMAP diet recommended by Dr. Shen.  It is working very well for me during the elimination phase. Since many vegetables contain hard to digest sugars, it is a good resource if experimenting with roasting vegetables.  Too much of the wrong ones, deliciously roasted, may cause problems.  I was delighted to find that FODMAP lists some sugars as more easily digested than others.  White , brown, coconut Sugar - in moderation are ok.  Maple syrup the same. Honey and agave syrup and molasses are not.   Sweetening with a date is good - I cut up and add to teas, oatmeal and baked goods.

Moderation is the key for me; avoiding baked goods with wheat flour (cake, cookies), that I can never eat in moderation, has made a huge difference. Fortunately there are lots of alternative flours readily available for the bakers among us or for the loved ones who bake for us!

Thanks for the info, I will look into that...
