Sugar Free or low sugar recipes for Kids

[Floweryfields]

Have you thought of using the natural sweetner stevia or truvia? They don't have the nasties that the chemically made sweetners do.

apparently there is some concerns about those products too though. I will let you know, I just have to dig through some files. The rapadura is the best we can find at this stage.

I have used stevia but dont like the aftertaste and like ladybirdflies mentioned there has been some concerns however not sure if thats just the sugar industry trying to scare people.

I read about the rapadura just briefly last night, might go and do a bit more research. Would I find that in a health food shop?

Actually I don't like the aftertaste of the stevia either. Perhaps you could try the sugar they use for brewing - as it is recommended in the sweet poison book.

We're just starting the GAPS diet, which is basically the SCD (specific carbohydrate diet) and it's sugar free. We can only have mono-saccarides so the only sweetners are honey, dates and fruit. Lots of kids recipes on the net for gaps and scd. It's also grain free though so baking is all with nut or coconut flour.
