This might depend on what trace impurities or additives might be present
in the cane sugar your mother is allergic to, or if it is simply sucrose
itself: chemically, beet and cane sugars are virtually identical forms
of sucrose.

On the other hand, I think you should be able to find granulated forms
of fructose and/or maltose. Glucose, while a sugar, could cause you
problems, in that it doesn't provide a noticeable sweetness, and
overdoing it could cause severe problems.
