    Celiac.com 08/14/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about baking ingredients like baking soda.  Specifically, what brands of baking soda are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?

    Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Per Wikipedia, "Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogen carbonate), commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3." As a general rule, baking soda does not contain gluten ingredients, and can be regarded as gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. 

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     One thing to note is that some baking sodas are intended for cleaning, and are not food grade. Make sure the baking soda you plan to use for baking is food grade. Major brands you buy in the baking section grocery stores are always food grade. If you find it in the cleaning section, be sure to double check. For example, Arm & Hammer 33200-01670 Baking Soda is a cleaning grade form of baking soda that comes in a big plastic dispenser, while the standard box you find on the baking aisle is the food grade version. Cleaning grade baking soda probably won't harm you, but it may not provide the same results for baking as a food grade version.

    The following brands of baking soda are are either labeled gluten-free, or considered gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease:

    Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
    Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is one of the most popular and trusted brands of baking soda.

    Bob's Red Mill Baking Soda
    Bob's Red Mill Baking Soda is 100% gluten-free and made solely from sodium bicarbonate.

    Clabber Girl Baking Soda
    Clabber Girl 100% pure sodium bicarbonate can be used for baking, deodorizing, and cleaning.

    Ener-G Baking Soda Substitute
    Ener-G Baking Soda Substitute is free of aluminum, sodium, and potassium and is labeled gluten-free.

    Pure
    Pure Organic Ingredients Baking Soda is a premium baking soda intended for baking rather than cleaning.

    Milliard Baking Soda
    Milliard is hiqh-quality and gluten-free, but not food grade, so use this one for cleaning, not baking.

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Could Sourdough Bread Help Conquer Wheat Sensitivity?
    Celiac.com 05/15/2018 - There is a good amount of anecdotal evidence that people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity can tolerate sourdough bread, but there is no good science to support such claims. To determine if sourdough bread help conquer wheat sensitivity, the Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) is funding a team of researchers to see if the sourdough fermentation process can reduce or eliminate wheat components that trigger wheat sensitivity.
    The project will study the way the sourdough bread fermentation process breaks down proteins and carbohydrates in wheat flour.
    Chair of the AWC Research Committee, Terry Young, said new research suggests that wheat protein may not be the cause of gluten sensitivity in people without celiac disease. Longer fermentation, aka sourdough ...

    Could Drinking Baking Soda Fight Celiac and Other Autoimmune Diseases?
    Celiac.com 06/19/2018 - Could baking soda help reduce the inflammation and damage caused by autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease? Scientists at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University say that a daily dose of baking soda may in fact help reduce inflammation and damage caused by autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease.
    Those scientists recently gathered some of the first evidence to show that cheap, over-the-counter antacids can prompt the spleen to promote an anti-inflammatory environment that could be helpful in combating inflammatory disease.

    Lactobacilli Degrade Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors and Reduce Intestinal Symptoms Caused by Immunogenic Wheat Proteins
    Celiac.com 03/20/2019 - Sensitivities to gluten are becoming more common. Patients with celiac disease have wheat-specific immune responses, but researchers have remained uncertain about the potential role of non-wheat proteins in triggering symptoms in celiac or gluten-sensitive patients.
    A team of researchers recently set out to assess the role of non-gluten proteins that may trigger symptoms in celiac or gluten-sensitive patients. Specifically, the team wanted to determine if lactobacillus degrades and/or reduces the inflammatory effects of amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATI).
    The research team included Alberto Caminero, Justin L. McCarville, Victor F. Zevallos, Marc Pigrau, Xuechen B. Yu, Jennifer Jury, Heather J. Galipeau, Alexandra V. Clarizio, Javier Casqueiro, Joseph...

    Is Baking Powder Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 08/13/2021 - We get a lot of questions about baking supplies and ingredients. Specifically, we get a lot of questions about baking powder. More than a few people wonder if baking powder is gluten-free.
    The short answer is 'yes.' According to wikipedia, most "baking powders contain a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid. The base and acid are prevented from reacting prematurely by the inclusion of a buffer such as cornstarch. Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods." Pure baking powder does not contain gluten, and can be considered gluten-free.
    Clabber Girl baking powder contains corn starch, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium aluminum sulfate, and mono calcium phosphate.
    Baking powder that ...

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...
