I just bought spices by a company called Simply Organic just wanted to know if they were safe to eat before I tried it...anyone know?

also was thinking about making Chili so wondering what types of spices I can use?

Ha Ha one more sorry the questions are just rolling off the top of my head, how about ranch dressing what brands are safe?

Have a great day!

:D

Pure spices are gluten-free. :D

You do have to watch for anything that is not a 100% pure single ingredient. Seasoning mixes bear close watch, as do things commonly thought of as "a spice" which are actually a blend of ingredients. Paprika may be a blend, and sometimes contains wheat flour. Curry powder is also a blend, and may also contain flour. Chili powder could also contain flour. <_<

Some imitation pepper is made from wheat germ, but if you stick to real, pure pepper, it is always gluten-free. :D

As an added thought, there is one thing to watch for on any food label, which indicates that you need to look carefully. That is words like:

"Made with 100% pure corn oil"

All that means is that the corn oil, which is one of the ingredients, was 100% pure. "Made from" is similar in meaning.

Kraft dressings won't hide anything...so if their label does not have wheat,rye,barley,oats then they will be safe. Do you have a list of the brands that won't hide anything?

Newman's Own has some gluten free dressings and so does Drews.

janelson--

i know those products--they are manufacturered by frontier, the coop i've joined. if you got pure spices they should be okay. i have some. the company won't tell you if there products are gluten-free or not. however, if you have their catalog they list the ingredients in all their products--in case you got a spice mix or something like that. if you did i could possibly check for you. mccormicks i use alot for spices. good chili spices to use would be: chili pepper, black pepper, cumin, salt, possibly onion/garlic powder. some like to sneak in some cocoa powder or sugar too.

ck the label...but you should be able to use a kraft ranch.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
