I finally found pure glose syrup I was wondering what people use it for. I am going to use it for syrup on my waffles but just wanted to know what else I could make.

I would be very careful how much you use on waffles, if it is pure it will shoot your blood sugar sky high then plummet it lower.
I have used it to make cakes before, Meg was violently sick for hours a few hours after eating the cake, never have been sure what caused it, the syrup, eggs or combination effect.

I put some maple flavoring in it one time for on pancakes. Regina didn't really care for it so I never did it again.
My thoughts were heading in the direction of trying to combine it with cocoa to make hot chocolate with, but then we found a mix she could have and now the glucose just sits in the cupboard..........

Would you be willing to share your source for the pure glucose syrup? I haven't seen one that doesn't make me nervous about possible hidden fructose.
Thanks!

Who knows if it is pure or not.. any initial Fructose reaction / effect is likely to be hidden by the amount of glucose.. but still damaging to liver, kidneys etc.. and causing days of feeling under the weather afterwards.. along with the spiking of the blood glucose which Charlie mentioned, which causes its own problems..
Analysis of a complex carbohydrate like glucose syrup will not be able to detect low levels of Fructose or at least sufficiently low levels to be considered safe for HFI.
Any Glucose is a really BAD idea for HFI but possibly fine for DFI or FM.
The manufacturing methods used are likely to mean there is a minimum of 4% Fructose in all the USA manufactured Glucose products (it being made from sweet corn).
My research has indicated the best medical grade stuff is Japanese and made from Rice not sweet corn.

Hi Melissa, sorry just read a couple of your early posts again and realised it is your daughter you are posting about and she maybe has FM, if so glucose may not be such a problem and you may also find she can have sugar and maple syrup but tread carefully if there is a risk of HFI undiagnosed as this is only suitable for FM. Caution is still needed though with amounts of glucose as it will shoot the blood sugar up fast in anybody FM or otherwise. Head over to my proboard I have started for FM www.fructosemalabsorb.proboards.com for more info as you may find there are other things she can have. |

now I am paranoid about using the glucose. I was wondering how it rots your teeth and also does dextrose do the same?so far this glucose is not user friendly. I was trying to make chocolate in a mold. my daughter likes to eat a little something sweet after dinner and is sick of smarties.

Is your daughter ok with artificial sweetners? Only the safe ones, of course. You can get the list of which are HFI safe from here: www.bu.edu/aldolase/HFI/treatment/sugar_table.htmMy daughter loves her chocolate. She eats a piece every night. Or I make her sf chocolate pudding. And Bill...........Don't go all crazy on us again. She already likes sweets, and wants them. Therefore it is better to provide safe ones rather than have her sneak un-safe ones. |

Hi Melissa,
sorry I feel like we are all pouncing on you, we aren't. If your daughter has FM for definate then she should be able to have table sugar as that has equal amounts of glucose and fructose, it won't spike the blood sugar as much as glucose. However this is NOT safe for HFI so make sure first which one she has. I was really surprised when they told me this and I have been tiptoeing carefully with Meg as it seems to trigger ADHD episodes with her but others can tolerate more than others.
However, waiting for answers from others on chocolate for FM as I think it has inulins or fructans which are no good for FM.
a good pudding I make is the traditional english pancake, 4oz flour, 1 egg and 300ml of milk whisked up and then pour a small amount into a greased non stick pan, flip over and in a couple of mins you have an easy pudding, Meg just puts a dollop of thick cream on hers and then dribbles it everywhere with pleasure!!!!!!

Hi Melissa, this info was passed onto me:
Baking Chocolate squares have 0 g of sugar per 28 g square. In the US there is a product "Archway Home Style Chocolate Cookies - Sugarless", and they have 0.2 g or 200 mg of sugar per cookie. All this is per Nutrition Data. The first one is definitely safe and the second is questionable but may, depending on the kid, be tolerated.
re: the spiking of blood with glucose. You do just have to be careful how much at a time you take as glucose is the sugar that HFI run on. If the body systems are working correctly ie insulin is released then it will get broken down quickly but if you suddenly have a larger dose than the body is used to that is when the blood sugar yo-yos as it releases too much insulin for a while until it rebalances, then the blood sugar goes low for a while. The thought of glucose syrup on waffles, unless it was a very light drizzle would have this effect.
