Understanding These Triggers
Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.
Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 2 identified triggers, this product falls into the moderate risk category. It may be suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction under practitioner guidance, depending on your individual MRT results.
If the specific triggers identified in this product scored Green on your personal MRT panel, your CLT may approve it for controlled reintroduction. If they scored Yellow or Red, this product should be avoided until cleared.
