What to know about caramel sauce
Caramel sauce is cooked sugar finished with cream and butter, which makes it high in both lactose and milk protein. People assume caramel is just sugar, but the dairy is what makes it a trigger: it is high in lactose and casein, so it can cause the same bloating, cramps or mucus that milk does, on top of a heavy sugar hit.
Watch for
- High in lactose from the cream, so it can cause bloating, cramps and diarrhea if you are lactose intolerant
- High in dairy protein, so casein-sensitive people can react even beyond the lactose
- Poor for SIBO, since the sugar plus dairy combination ferments easily
