    Karo Corn Syrup is Gluten-free and Allergen-friendly

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Karo corn syrup is gluten-free.  There was some confusion about Karo since it contains caramel coloring.  A few of my readers were concerned about the coloring and here is what the manufacturer of Karo Syrup has to say.

    "All Karo Syrup products are free of gluten, soy, milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts. The syrup production facility does not contain ingredients with these allergens, so cross contamination is not an issue. While some caramel colorings do contain wheat products, the caramel coloring used in the dark corn syrup and brown sugar flavored corn syrup is gluten free.  The caramel coloring is derived from burnt sugar."

    It might be gluten-free and soy free, but to say this is a product that should be in our cupboards when we are discussing health, is totally false. It is a known fact that sugar creates inflammation and inflammation creates disease. We can not substitute with products that move us toward other symptoms over time. Getting sugar out of our lives should be a priority.

    A great many of us who are gluten sensitive are also sensitive to many other foods... corn in particular... It is disappointing every time I pick up a gluten free product in the store only to find it has corn in it. Must tell you a story about corn... I am more chemically sensitive than food sensitive. I'm told the first step in the processing of commercial corn is to soak it in a warm water solution containing sulfur dioxide to retard bacterial contamination while the corn is softened for its many potential uses... I get horrible chemical reactions from the sulfur in the corn that I don't get from organically processed corn.... The bottom line is that I find it disappointing to see a notoriously allergenic product pushed as a substitute for gluten...

    Who is pushing Karo as a gluten substitute? The author is just pointing out that it is gluten-free and can be used by those with celiac disease.

    I'm glad to know that the coloring in Karo comes from burnt sugar. I am trying desperately to gain weight and I need all the calories I can get. This info was valuable for me. It may not suit everyone's needs but it suited mine. THANKS!

    Thanks Admin! I am definitely not promoting corn syrup as a healthy option for anyone. Personally I don't eat corn. But, there are many folks out there that use corn syrup and need to know that Karo is gluten-free. As Leigh commented, she uses it and was happy to have the information. I hope readers can understand that this site isn't just for promoting healthy eating but understanding what is safe on a gluten-free diet.

    This recipe may be prepared using a mixer and oven or in a bread machine. This loaf is light and airy, yet substantial enough to use as sandwich bread (however, if you want a denser loaf, simply add 1/4 cup dry milk powder to the dry ingredients).
    The recipe boasts the addition of flax seed meal and flax seeds which contribute a large amount of dietary fiber and other beneficial nutritional properties like high omega 3.  The simple addition of two tablespoons of flax seed meal to this bread also adds four grams of dietary fiber and three grams of protein.  As an alternative, you can simply use 2 eggs in place of the flax seed and water mixture, and you will add the dry yeast to the dough at the final mixing step.

    Multi-Grain Confetti Gluten-Free Muffins
    Celiac.com 01/18/2009 - This recipe was born of my new year's desire to experiment with new grains and flavors to achieve more nutritious results in my baking.
    I was speaking to a support group last Friday night and one of the audience questions was about this very topic: the concern that gluten-free baking often produces less healthy results. I completely agree.
    Now, much of my gluten-free baking and recipes are already on the low-sugar and low-fat end of the spectrum - something I feel very strongly about in my own diet. Take that statement with a grain of Southern sugar though, because this Southern girl knows that sweets still have their place! As I said in my discussion Friday night, chocolate chip cookies were never meant to be good for you!
    However, wherever...

    I am always searching for breakfast recipes good enough to serve to overnight guests and easy enough to make just for my family in a morning rush.  This breakfast cake fits the bill, and also pleases my picky (especially in the morning!) kids.
    I have used some mesquite flour in this recipe because I love the subtle chocolate tones it imparts, and its added nutritional value doesn't hurt either!  However, if you are not a morning person, and are looking for simplicity, just use a full portion of my all purpose flour mixture -- it's delicious that way as well!

    Gluten-Free Spring Parties and Barbecues
    Celiac.com 04/06/2010 - Spring has officially sprung. The long spring day's pave the way for beautiful spring flowers, gorgeous weather, spring cleaning,  and spring BBQ's! BBQ's are just as much fun for gluten-free diets as they are for everyone else. We can still enjoy grilling our food on the barbie, and washing it down with a cold one. Although there are some things you will want to know about gluten-free BBQing before you get too excited.
    Gluten-Free BBQ:
    If you use your BBQ grill for grilling gluten buns and gluten marinated meats, you will want to consider buying a new BBQ grill and dedicating it to your gluten-free foods only. However, if you share a grill with gluten containing foods and a dedicated BBQ grill is not an option, you will need to clean your grill thoroughly ...

      And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust. It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made. I'm really burdened by the potential social impact...

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      Thank you for your reaction. The reference values are both "<10", although I found a medical paper from Netherlands (I'm Belgian) who use the same values and there the see a positive daignosis as twice more then 200 and a positive biopsie. I didn't see how to change this in my original message, sorry...

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      Hi all, I'm very new at this and 'this' has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Last august my 7 year old son suddenly had these colic like pain attacks that would come a few times per day/night during 10 days. Because they were that bad and because our older daughter had her appendix taken out at 7, we ended up at ER twice to have him checked...
