I tried this ingredient last week and found that my tolerance was actually pretty good. I only had mild symptoms on the first day, but adjusting my enzyme dose helped immensely. I found that if I pair it with a solid protein base, the reaction is almost zero. Definitely something I can keep in rotation for special occasions!

We completely avoid this one. Even small amounts seem to trigger a reaction for my son. It's highly variable depending on the brand, but after three separate attempts with different manufacturers, we prefer to stay safe and leave it off the grocery list entirely.

This has been a staple for me since diagnosis. As long as I stay under 15g per serving, I don't see any spikes in my symptoms. It makes baking so much easier!
