100% Maple Syrup


Lexi

I bought some 100% maple syrup at the store the other day. I felt sick all day after eating it. I thought it would be gluten free as long as it was 100% pure maple. The brands at Native Sun are so Expensive!!

Pure maple syrup is gluten-free. No doubt about it.

It should be gluten free. What did you eat it on?

100% pure maple syrup shouldn't be a problem. It's one of the few things I'm not picky about the brand I buy.

Could it be what you poured it over?

Ok - well it's good to know that the syrup should be gluten free. It really tasted good. I used it with The Cravings Place gluten-free pancake and waffle mix, which I have learned to love. I also ate strawberries and blueberries with it (no butter).

My guess, then, is that you got something contaminated... perhaps a spatula or a pan. It is only a guess, of course. And it's probably not possible to track it down now.

It's also possible to have a gluten-like reaction to something that isn't gluten. Many of us have more than one sensitivity, and in some cases the reactions are nearly identical. My mom, for example, seems to react to corn gluten in much the same way as she reacts to wheat gluten (fortunately, she's ok with corn starch, just not whole corn). There could have been an ingredient in the pancakes you had trouble with. But unless it happens again, I'd assume it was cross-contamination, either in your kitchen or in the factory production of something you ate. This is a risk we take with all our food, unless we grow it in our own back yards, don't live anywhere near grain farms, and don't let anything we didn't grow into our kitchen (obviously not a real solution for people living in the real world).

I think the maple syrup is the least likely culprit, although I suppose it's possible that it was bottled in a factory where they also bottle "maple-flavored pancake syrup," which is commonly flavored with barley malt.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
