I've read in recipes that "Log Cabin" maple syrup is okay. What's the difference between the maple syrups?

I have Aunt Jamima and the ingredient list looks ok. I was planning on having some gluten free pancakes tomorrow with it - I hope it's ok!

Some have, actaully many have gluten in them. If its 100% pure maple syrup it should be fine. Aslo if you have a kroger near you all Kroger storebrand maple syurps are gluten-free. I never check Log Cabin or Aunt Jamima but I think I read that only some of thier varities are safe.

Be careful--Log Cabin Syrups are NOT gluten-free, with the exception of their Log Cabin Country Kitchen Syrup. Aunt Jemima syrups are gluten-free.

Thanks so much! The recipe that I got the Log Cabin syrup from was a gluten-free recipe! Argh! I'm still very new at this so I have much to learn. Y'all's input was very helpful...I shall pick-up different maple syrup on my next shopping trip.

I use real maple syrup, but I recently confirmed with Aldi's that their Aunt Maple's Original Syrup is gluten free.

A lot of the "maple syrups" are maple flavored or contain some maple syrup in them. I prefer 100% maple syrup, which is gluten-free.

So is it the maple flavoring that is the gluten-culprit with maple syrups? If so, why?

The problem with the Log Cabin, in particular, is that they use barley in the processing.

Pure maple syrup is absolutely gluten-free, since is has only one ingredient: sap. Okay, that doesn't sound so good, but the sugar maple is tapped for its sap during the spring season when days are warm and nights are cold, which results in a high volume of sap which contains lots of sugar. It is boiled down to remove much of the water leaving the thick, sweet liquid.

Maple flavored syrup is an attempt to duplicate this. It uses various flavoring, sweetening and thickening agents, and many of these are potential gluten sources. It does not have to be the flavoring. Many flavored syrups are gluten-free, but you have to check. As Vincent said, Kroger house brand syrups are gluten-free.

I think it does sound better to say I like pure maple syrup than I like tree sap!!

Here's a recipe that uses pure maple syrup, as usual, no measurements from me, sorry, I just pour! I make salad dressing with olive oil, maple syrup (about the same amount as the oil), a little less lemon juice, some chopped garlic, a little gluten-free mustard and salt. I make it right in the bottom of the salad bowl before I toss the lettuce into it. It makes even the pickiest eaters eat their salad!

I just bought Vermont Maid Syrup and it says Gluten free on the package. The only thing is, the ingredients list malt. I emailed the company to find out what's up.

I hate to confess, I did kind of like the taste of all those fakey syrups--but one look at the ingredient list, and I will NEVER buy them again. They all use high-fructose corn syrup, which seems to leave me hungrier than when I started to eat, and makes me thirsty all day, and is just generally EVIL. I refuse to EVER feed them to my kids.

Luckily, I think real maple syrup does taste even better than fakey syrup. You can buy it quite inexpensively at Costco or Sam's Club.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      Thanks @Scott AdamsYes I alternate between forms just to experiment. I definitely agree that there are probably a variety of nutrients I am probably lacking too. I forgot to mention @Sultana that I also experienced symptoms of acidosis that resolved with continuous thiamine supplementation- my bloodwork showed slightly elevated anion gaps (sign of acidosis) and elevated lactic acid (same) and was experiencing shortness of breath, tachycardia, etc that was dismissed as anxiety as it wasn’t off the charts enough… (I too went to the ER bc I felt so awful). When I was discharged home, I took the b1 and symptoms resolved.. After researching, I found studies by Dr Constantini with high dose thiamine for fatigue in IBD. (He did studies for many chronic diseases which were ameliorated by “high” dose b1). I’m not sure how reliable it is but I’ve read a lot of articles by Dr Lonsdale formally of the Cleveland clinic who did a lot of research into thiamine- apparently the sulfur component of thiamine promotes the excretion of metals ( whether good or bad, so manganese might be effected)… id like to cover my bases with a multivitamin but they usually make me feel off( Its a rabbit hole trying to find a good one - I know I don’t tolerate methylated forms and there are many variables it’s hard to narrow it down…) I take breaks with b1 too when the effects wear off but have come back to it repeatedly with renewed symptom relief. I’ve started to monitor my blood glucose at home too and it definitely lowers it.

      Can you get more EBT benefits if you have celiac disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @brian1 I'm a UK based Moderator here on the forum.  If you are British, you may find that in your region you might be able to get certain gluten-free food (usually staples like bread) on prescription.  I recommend you ring Coeliac UK for the most up-to-date advice on this. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/ There is some advice here for UK coeliacs which might also be of use, on how to best navigate the gluten-free diet on a budget. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/living-gluten-free/the-gluten-free-diet/gluten-free-diet-on-a-budget/ I am afraid I don't know anything about the benefits you mention but maybe the charity can help?

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.
