Gluten Free Icing and Sprinkles?

Hey all, 

So my friends are throwing a cookie making party next week (didnt even know that was a thing!). I got my sugar cookie mix and my gluten free frosting, but does anyone know of any store bought brands of sprinkles and/or icing that is certified gluten free? I've read stories of people being gluten'd by sprinkles so I wanna be sure with this. 

 

Thanks!

If you do not get a response (I do not use sprinkles), consider jelly bellies, raisins, nuts, chopped peppermint, colored coarse sugar (you can do yourself), etc.  

But here is my concern.  As a person with celiac disease, I  bake gluten-free in my gluten-free house using gluten-free dedicated bowls, pans, potholders, etc.  I do attend cookie making at my SIL's house.  Her kitchen is huge.  I sit in the next room (it is open) and watch my family make cookies.  I do nothing!  I sit, talk and eat my gluten-free food.  I bring gluten-free goodies to share and to make sure the rest of my family is not left out (that would be my hubby).     I do not help clean up and I make sure that I am not inhaling wheat flour (the danger is swallowing it).   The a/c is not on (yeah, we live in California), so nothing is be swept up and distributed around the rest of the house.  I make sure I wash my hands before eating and never touch my face while I am there.  

Overall, I have a great time and hubby and I are safe.  

Have fun, but be safe.

I have never seen a "sprinkle" with gluten.   The amount of gluten you would get from the other people's flour , etc would be much more significant.  If that doesn't bother you, why worry about the teeny tiny bit that might, but probably isn't, in a few little sprinkles?

Thanks everyone! I was planning on bringing my own pan, bowl, cookie cutters, etc for my batch, but I think you're right there is still a risk of cross contamination. Maybe I'll just make mine at home and just watch everyone else do their thing. 

 

So Karen you're saying I shouldnt worry about sprinkles. What about icing? I wanted to get green and red icing to make xmas cookies. Betty Crocker now lists their frostings as gluten free and even indicate it on their packaging, however they don't do this for their icing which makes me concerned. Thanks!

I just meant - that if you are going to majorly cc your cookies - what difference could it make?

 

If you are able to keep them gluten-free, then just read the ingredients.  I have used different brands and never found any with gluten.  As for "icing", I would read the ingredients or make my own.  But it is hard to get a good red on your own.  Can you link us to the product and we can see what it is?

 

Adding - do you mean this?  I have used this before and would again if I needed it.

The thing is, even if you make your cookies at home and keep them covered, you will be in a room full of flour dust in the air while others are baking. Unless you wear respirator while you're there you WILL get flour dust in the back of your throat and you WILL swallow it. If it were me I would sadly have to pass. There will be other holiday events to attend.

Read the ingredients!  They were fine last time I used them.! But that has been a couple of years.  The on line ingredients looked ok.  Just make sure that is still the ingredients listed

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
