    Celiac.com 09/17/2022 - We get a lot of questions asking which baking ingredients are gluten-free. Lately, we've seen a number of readers wanting to know if powdered sugar is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?

    The short answer is yes, powdered sugar is gluten-free. Here's the rundown.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     Powdered sugar typically contains only pulverized cane sugar and tapioca starch or corn, neither of which contain gluten.

    That makes powdered sugar a naturally gluten-free food. So, unless gluten is added after processing, most brands of powdered sugar are likely to be gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease.

    Be sure to read all labels carefully and look for any allergen warnings or gluten ingredients.

    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.

    Arm & Hammer and Other Brands of Gluten-Free Baking Soda
    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. 
    One thing to note is that some baking sodas are intended for cleaning, and are not food grade. Make sure the baking s...

    Is Brown Sugar Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 10/18/2022 - We get a lot of questions asking which baking ingredients are gluten-free. Lately, we've seen a number of readers wanting to know if brown sugar is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. In fact, Sir Mick Jagger called us with that very question just last week 😉. 
    The short answer is yes, brown sugar is gluten-free. Here's the rundown.
    Brown sugar is just sugar that has not been quite as refined as white granulated sugar, and so still contains some molasses, hence the brown color.
    The answer is that brown sugar is a naturally gluten-free food. So, unless gluten is added after processing, most brands of brown sugar are likely to be gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease.
    As always, be sure to always read all...

      Feeling ill

      Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten...

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      I used to work in a kitchen where gluten was very prevalent. Cookies, sandwiches, etc. I noticed I started having joint pain, and my hands would flared up in hives while working there. I would sometimes bake cookies during my shift and open the oven having the air from the oven go directly into my face. Even at home my roommates sometimes...
