Aside from
snacks and salads, you can also easily go wrong with desserts when you are on a
special diet such as a yeast free diet.
The first thing that comes to our mind when it comes to desserts is that it
should always be scrumptious; that’s the purpose of dessert – to please our taste
buds. Often, we never want to sacrifice taste for healthiness. Luckily, it’s
possible to keep your yeast free
desserts delicious as well as healthy.
A Candida free diet strictly limits the
intake of sweets, or rather sugar or any other source of fructose. This doesn’t
mean though that you have to take the sweetness out of your dessert. You can
always use natural sweeteners, like Stevia,
which comes from a plant extract. The good thing about natural sweeteners like
Stevia is that although you use just a small amount, it will instantly give you
the right amount of sweetness you are after. This is in contrast to using
sugar, which requires you to use in bigger amounts in order to get enough
sweetness. Remember that more sugar (not necessarily sweetness) means more
yeast.
Hate to say it, but this post offered zero ideas for desserts other than saying you should use Stevia over sugar. Not much help. I'm desperate to find any desserts and would love to have even an unhealthy form of a dessert that I could tolerate (I'm intolerant to gluten, wheat, eggs, milk, yeast, and then some). If I could have any form of a "dessert" to satisfy my currently tortured sweet tooth without hurting my food allergies, I would be grateful, and would consider it healthier than giving up and eating something unhealthy AND containing yeast (or some other ingredient)
ReplyDelete@Andrea - This is a Yeast-Free blog. go somewhere else if you're gluten, milk, or whatever intolerant. Using Stevia is the best advice for those who are yeast intolerant and need to cut on sugar without sacrificing their sweet-food cravings.
