   My 2 1/2 year old son has PDD-NOS and was placed on the SCD diet. I found Elana's pantry quite compatible for some goodies to make for my little boy, but I substitute honey for the agave nectar. I'm realizing he maybe having issues with honey since he has yeast overgrowth in his system. His intestinal dysbosis has improved dramatically, but his behavior is declining so its a Catch 22 right now. He loved the blueberry muffins, but now I am removing honey from his diet until the yeast issue is resolved. I just tried Elana's blueberry muffin recipe using not from concentrate pear juice instead of the honey, since yeast isn't crazy about pears. I didn't care for the texture. My son did eat it, but I was wondering if anyone has advice or experience so that I can modify Elana's muffin recipe.

   Have you tried using date sugar? It will make it more dense, but, you can whip the egg whites separately to lighten it.

   Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately my son can only have stevia or xylitol now. He has yeast issues and those are now my only options. He also has sensitivities to high phenol foods. He is really keeping me on my toes!!!

   I use Xylitol in all my baking for the very same reasons, yeast and fungus over growth.
   I made the blue berry muffins with Xylitol, about 2 tablespoons. Nothing else was changed and they came out great. Give it a try.
