Caramel Syrup

I know I've read that caramel coloring is usually off limits, but what about caramel syrup?

I have a new love, but I think it might be making me sick. :( Caramel Macchiatos (espresso, vanilla syrup, caramel syrup, and steamed milk - YUM!) I checked the ingredients on the syrups - the vanilla is ok, but the caramel says "natural caramel flavor".

Ok? Or no?

I've had two of these this week (I know, probably not the best choice) and while my stomach hasn't been upset or anything, I just feel a little off. But it could be because I'm only a few weeks into the diet too............

If you are in the States, caramel coloring is generally safe. It is usually made from corn; rarely from barley.

You could always double check with the company to be sure.

I know that the Macchiatos from Starbucks are gluten-free (and my favorite!!), and the Torani carmel syrup and sauce is gluten-free. If it's neither of these, you might call the company just in case. I had to switch to soy... :rolleyes:

Hmmm, I wonder if it was just too much sugar, or if it was something completely different that made me feel off then?

It wasn't from Starbucks, but another coffee company (the one I work for), and I have personally had my hands on the syrup products and read the labels, and didn't even see "caramel coloring" listed. (We only use Torani when we run out of Monin syrups and are waiting on shipments to come in).

The caramel syrup, however, is our company brand (not the Monin), so it might be a good idea for me to check with the company.

Thanks for your replies, everyone! I'll let you know what I find out!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
