Got Milk Alternatives? Nov 9, 2021 | By Tara Schmidt (@taraschmidt)Comment receiving replies
@taraschmidt Hello Tara
Thankyou very much for your response to my sugar query. I just typed a long reply of explanation to you, and, zip - it disappeared into the ethers before I'd finished it. Aaarrggh!!
Anyway, to make myself more clear, I mis-spoke. I didn't mean natural sugar, I meant ordinary white table-type sugar.
I NEVER add sugar to my very restricted IBS diet, nor do I use anything but sugar-free products, including no fruit juices, no canned fruit except the ones packed in water, etc
However, one of the few foods I can tolerate and really enjoy is Kozy Shack rice pudding, which contains 14 grams of CANE sugar per 113 gram snack cup. This rice pudding at least provides some calories and a bit of sweetness in my very sparse diet. I usually have two per day, along with two bottles of Regular chocolate flavored Ensure meal replacement ( doctor's orders). I'm not diabetic.
Is cane sugar alright for me? I lost a lot of weight but am maintaining my weight on this regime. Thanks, Tara. Warm regards, Laurie

@artist01 I've absolutely had that happen to me before, Laurie. So frustrating! Typical white (table) sugar is cane sugar. This sugar is from sugar cane or sugar beets. Your rice pudding notes 9 grams of added sugar on the label - this is from the cane sugar. The other 5 grams are likely from the milk. It sounds like you are mindful of added sugars in a number of other areas on your diet, so enjoying this product seems like it would be more than reasonable.
