It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content or produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar. I think you may be thinking of brown rice syrup, which can have gluten in it (barley). I have never run across a brown sugar that has gluten in it. _________________ -Colleen Dx 8/05 via bloodwork/biopsy 10-YO son Dx 11/05 via bloodwork/biopsy Daughters (12 and 2) have neg. bloodwork A woman is like a tea bag-you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. - Eleanor Roosevelt
