This morning I tried gluten-free syrup on our gluten-free pancakes. It was called Vermont Sugar Free Syrup. On the back it said Gluten Free, but listed in the ingredients was caramel coloring. I have had probs with caramel coloring, but thought that since it said gluten-free it was safe... So why did she break out in a rash everywhere it touched? Could it be the caramel color or is she reacting to something new like splenda?? Hmmmm.. I need your help.
Oh, PS, that was the worst tasting syrup I have ever had, but she liked it!

Caramel colour could have contained gluten. But Splenda is no safer than Nutra Sweet and should be avoided.
Why don't you just use plain old 100% maple syrup? It contains one ingredient, and you can be absolutely sure it is safe.

Honestly? Ignorance. I didn't know maple syrup is one ingredient, so I didn't know that wouldn't make us sick!! Haha. Thanks, Ursa
