Hi Katharine,
You're very welcome and I'm glad that I was able to help you in some way. I hope that avoiding this type of sweetener will help hasten your healing progress and that by choosing safer options you'll be able to enjoy some dessert recipes without causing harm or sabotaging all your efforts (which can easily happen).
Restoring our health is already a slow process so it's very important not to do anything that's going to make it even slower, or cause us to go backward. If you're like me, you probably crave the things that you shouldn't eat and are wracking your brain trying to figure out what substitutes you can try to satisfy the cravings.
A lot of times I hear people talk about eating things in moderation, but for me, moderation quickly goes out the window and I find myself making several trips to the kitchen until it's completely gone. It's like I have no control and my mind continuously obsesses on what's in the kitchen. So I find it best to just not have these foods as an option. However, you need to be the judge of what's best for you. Sometimes drinking some tea sweetened with stevia can help satisfy my cravings for something sweet.
There is a fungal issue that causes us to crave sugar, but there's also the need to eat something that'll give us a little bit of happiness and eating these foods can momentarily lift our spirits. It's very difficult, but it's important to not give in and to make wiser choices.
Stay strong Katherine, we're all with you!
God Bless,
Anna
