Guest guest Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 It has been my experience that anything that says whey on it contains casien which is what we are trying to avoid. Your post said whey low was a sugar subtitute, or did you mean milk substitute? I have searched all over for the perfect sugar substitute and I have come to conclusion that there isn't one. I've looked into xylitol, maltitol, sorbitol, splenda, etc. and from what I have read they all feed yeast. Stevia seems to be the only substitute that isn't fake or somehow derived from sugar. Too bad we don't like the taste :-). Keep it simple. Just try to cut back on the sugar and carbs. We try to make the main meals mostly protein and vegetables, because most of our son's snacks are carbs. removal of dairy in diet > We are starting the dietary changes for our 4 year 10 month old son. I am looking for a viable sugar substitute. I found something called Whey low. It is made with lactose. What part of milk protiens / sugars are we trying to avoid?

It has a 1 to 1 exchange in recipes, does anyone know of any other substitutes that have a 1 to 1 exchange ratio? > > Thanks for your help, > > Nikki > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 Hi -- Dr. Goldberg said Splenda is okay to use. I read somewhere that xylitol is supposed to be okay for people on " yeast starvation " diets. I'll see if I can find anything about it.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 Nikki - Rather than find a substitute, I just started cutting the amount of sugar I used in a recipe. Some recipes I could cut the sugar down to a 1/4 of what they called for, but typically I can cut it by about 1/2.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 I have had some success using 100% pure vegetable glycerin in place of honey. It does taste sweet and is okay for those yeast restricted diets. It has the consistency of honey or molasses.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 the best substitute can be honey, dates. --- nikkitom <nikkitom@...> wrote: > We are starting the dietary changes for our 4 year > 10 month old son.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Dr G recently recommended to us good old Equal! (nutrasweet) Whey is a fat from milk. In Pure form should be OK, but one can't guarantee that there are not traces of milk protein in it. Avoid lactose also - again a sugar, it may contain milk protein - this is what we are avoiding. Sugars in general are to be reduced as they feed yeast - also reason for reducing carbohydrates as these easily convert to sugars. removal of dairy in diet We are starting the dietary changes for our 4 year 10 month old son.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Are you sure about this? I know that in cheesemaking, the whey is a clear and colorless liquid and the milk fats end up in the curd which is pressed and becomes the cheese. mjh In a message dated 6/25/02 10:25:49 AM Eastern Daylight Time, rmwilson@... writes: > Whey is a fat from milk.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 It's made by NOW brand. I had to do a little searching to find it. They have it at the Stone Store in Guelph (for any Ontario residents). It doesn't take like sugar but it is sweet and nothing like Stevia.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 You're correct - whey is the watery part of the milk after curds are formed. It is not supposed to contain protein - which is my point, and in theory, shouldn't be an allergen, however one can't trust the processing, and as such, may have traces - which is why to avoid.
