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 free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this relevant/helpful on Celiac.com.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.
