Gf Vanilla

Okay, in a recipe somewhere I saw that is said to use gluten-free vanilla extract. Where do you buy that? And do other vanillas have gluten in them?? I've used a pure one from mexico in my banana bread recipe and my daughter didn't seem to react to it at all, but I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing. The only thing I can see that might be a problem is that it has 2% alcohol in it. Is that a problem?

Try McCormicks Vanilla, to the best of my knowledge, it is gluten-free.

Yes, McCormicks uses corn alcohol in their vanilla. You can also find alcohol-free varieties at health food stores, though you would need to check with the specific companies, of course.

The vanilla I buy is called flavorganics Organic Vanilla Extract and it says gluten-free right on the front.

:D From what I understand you gotta watch the alcohol in them. It could be grain based?

I was having a problem with Tone's (which everyone says is gluten-free).

I switched to Flavorganics and haven't had any problems since.

I kept a food journal and even recreated the same menu, with the vanilla being the only difference.

I went to a health food store and couldn't find any that didn't have alcohol in them. My daughter never seemed to react to the kind I have from mexico. Maybe I'll keep using that. I DO have some schilling (I guess that's the brand, but it also says McCormick Co. on the bottom of the box)..so maybe I'll use that. I was more scared of the schilling brand one because it says imitation vanilla as opposed to the other one that said pure vanilla. Does anyone know if this Schilling brand -made by McCormick- is gluten-free or does McCormick make another vanilla that's is just under their own brand name?

There's a great powdered vanilla you can buy online from gluten solutions - it works even better than liquid in all my cookie recipes. It's basically just called vanilla powder

If you are really concerned, you can use vanilla beans - a quick search on the Internet will tell you how to substitute.

I make my own due to a corn intolerance.

I don't know of any vanillas that aren't gluten-free. The alcohol in it would be distilled.

Last time I checked, McCormick used a synthetic alcohol that wasn't grain based at all, but that could have changed. Anyway, if a McCormick product has gluten it will be clearly listed.

How?  :huh:

Hmm found this...

Here's How:

  1. Split vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp knife.

  2. Place in jar with 3/4 cup vodka.

  3. Be sure bean is completely covered with vodka.

  4. Seal tightly.

  5. Let stand in a cool, dark place for 4 to 6 months.

  6. Shake jar occasionally during the standing time.

Tips:

  1. Extract will strengthen upon standing.

  2. Store, tightly-sealed, indefinitely in a cool, dark place.

  3. Place a few drops of vanilla extract on a cotton ball. Place in custard cup in back of refrigerator to diffuse odors.

Hmmmmmm

Vanilla beans in a bottle with vodka in a dark cabinet for about 6 months (shake about once a month). I use potato vodka.

Interstinly enough Vanilla isn't on Tone's gluten free list. I had sent an email back to them awhile ago, at that time asking about spice islands spices, and they sent back and Word Doc containing what spices Tune's/Durkee/Spice Islands were gluten-free.

Their vanilla isn't on there. For any of the above metioned brand. THough vanilla beans are.

Authentic Foods also makes a powdered gluten-free vanilla that can be quite useful for recipes that aren't baked that you don't want the alcohol taste in.

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time
