Anybody have any luck determining whether Cock Brand products are gluten free? I have tried emailing them a few times now but no answer as far as I can tell. I loved their curry pastes and sauces before I went gluten free and although the label does have an allergy warning section that does not mention wheat/gluten, I would rather hear more definitely from somebody. The ingredients label on the curry pastes contains the dreaded "spices" ingredient so I am reluctant. Would love to hear if anyone has had experience with this brand! Thanks :)

Why do you dread "spices?" Nothing made from a grain can hide there. "Seasonings" is a different animal, though.

Really? I always thought spices could mean nearly anything, and considering a lot of the individual spices I've looked at in the past (Clubhouse brand, for example) said some of their products may contain gluten I was weary. That is reassuring, thank you!

Really. The list of things that can be included in the ingredient "spices" covers many things, including herbs. But no grains or grain products.

 

Clubhouse is a McCormick brand sold in Canada. It has long been McCormick's policy to explicitly declare any gluten source on the label. In Canada, since August 4, 2012, ALL gluten sources must be explicitly declared on the label. There may still be some products in stores that were packaged under the old rules.

Unfortunately psawyer is completely wrong. Spices would also include spice mixtures, which may contain starch to prevent them from separating. In North America that would most of the time be corn starch, but in many other parts of the world, gluten containing wheat starch is cheaper. So yes, there is a very valid point in talking about a dreaded "spices" ingredient when it's about a safe celiac diet.

Hi Jorg,

Welcome tot he forum! :)

You may be right about wheat or even barley being used in some countries.  It is good to always check the rules on food ingredients in your own country.  The rules do vary quite a bit.  Peter was only talking about Canada in this case.  But some companies use different ingredients in different countries for the same food product.  So it is important to verify the ingredients in your own area.  Companies also sometimes change ingredients, so keeping an eye on ingredients is a good idea.

Actually, it applies to the US, too.  "Spices" legally must be spices and not grains or other things.

FDA rules on spices:
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.22
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=182.10

Grains can not be included. Section 101.22(a)(2) says, in part, "except for those substances which have been traditionally regarded as foods." That would cover grains.

Thank you for that information!  I'm super sensitive and trying to use whole foods plus a few certified gluten free items.  This really helps.

I  also love Spicely Organic Spices!  CERTIFIED GLUTEN FREE and very, very good.  You can get them on amazon.com.  For me, it's simply not worth taking the chance with un-certified spices.  I've seen videos of how spices are gathered, transported, etc. in foreign countries.  Not worth chancing the possible cross-contamination IMHO.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
