McCormick skillet sauces

My husband bought some McCormick's skillet sauce on Sunday and it says it's certified gluten free. We always use the gluten free seasoning and I've never had an issue. I've just noticed the last couple days that my tummy has been kinda funny and I can't really think of anything that I've eaten that would have caused it, so it may very well not be gluten. But I went to their website and checked out the ingredients and it lists worscestshire sauce as an ingredient. It also lists the ingredients in that and I don't see any malt - just distilled vinegar. But I haven't eaten worscestshire sauce since I was diagnosed because I thought it wasn't safe. But I trust McCormick and know they have a good reputation. Thoughts? Oh, and here's the link to the product.

McCormik is not the safest bet. I know they had some of their spices end up with gluten on the gluten free watchdog report a few years ago. I use Spicely Organics for spices as they actually batch test them and and gluten-free certify them. As for sauces I prefer fronterra over them. I even test them with strips to make sure before I use each bag (call me paranoid)

On my thoughts it could the yeast extract, sauce, caramel color or something else your having a reaction to. Or something else like if you wrapped them in anything or your meat....OR it could be something else entirely.

The product is certified gluten free, but that does not mean you are not reacting to all the extra junk added to it.  What did our grandmother's use to make fajitas?  They seasoned with real herbs and spices usually grown in their local markets in in their backyard.  Time to plant some onions and peppers!  

Save this product for later and test it again when you feel well.

That's odd. When I was diagnosed I was told by several people on here, along with multiple online articles that said that mccormicks is safe. And I've never reacted to them before. It's actually the only brand I use.

I don't Usually use the super processed stuff, which this is. I use the spices or the gluten free spice mixes. I assume maybe something just didn't set well but I doubt it's gluten because I believe they're reputable. My husband doesn't have celiac and said his tummy is weird too, so I doubt it's gluten. I'll call them today to be sure.

Ennis likes to play it safe.  This is a certified gluten-free product and I think he missed that.    Other McCormick spices are not, but members have been using them successfully.

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for several generations, too.  Once I started taking TTFD, a form of thiamine that can enter cells without using thiamine transporters, my migraines have vanished.  TTFD is tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. Benfotiamine is another form that can improve migraine frequency, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There is no upper limit because thiamine has never caused a death even in high doses.  It is excreted via kidneys if not needed or not absorbed.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   Alcohol has to be processed through the liver.  If there's insufficient thiamine, Alcoholic Fatty Liver develops.  In thiamine insufficiency, calories are turned into fat and stored in the liver instead of being turned into fuel ATP for the body.  Alcohol also prevents absorption of calories from food and other nutrients.   Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver can develop in nonalcoholics, storing excess calories as fat in the liver.  However, excess calories can also be turned into fat and stored in the abdomen, hence the increase in obesity.   In Celiac disease, we don't absorb sufficient nutrients like thiamine from our food.  If we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, we can run out of vitamins like thiamine and the other Bs needed to turn those calories into fuel ATP.  For every extra thousand calories of carbohydrates consumed, our bodies require 500 to 1000 mg of additional thiamine to process them into fuel, ATP,  the "bitcoin" of energy in our bodies.   Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in non-alcoholic people, but doctors can miss the symptoms because the patient doesn't drink, and doesn't have all three symptoms of the classic Triad of symptoms seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.  My doctors failed to diagnose me with thiamine deficiency, Wernicke's Encephalopathy,  because I didn't drink alcohol, although I had ataxia and an altered mental state.   Doctors don't think outside the box!   I went home and took thiamine.  I had improvement in my symptoms within an hour.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct Thiamine deficiency.  Thank God I had studied nutrition, microbiology, and the research of Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  ("Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition" is Drs. Lonsdale and Marrs' book.).  And I've kept learning and sharing that knowledge to help others.   It's wonderful you've been supplementing with vitamins so long!  Don't worry about the bright yellow urine.  That's excess Riboflavin B 2.  Interesting note, Riboflavin glows under black light!  Those lights used to detect where pets have soiled outside of the box, that's the Riboflavin in urine glowing.  Riboflavin can be put in sugar syrup when making rock candy and it will glow under black light.  Fun for Halloween. I hope you feel better, @Oldturdle.  If I can be of further help anytime, you can send a personal message here.  Thanks for reading my posts.  P.S. Thiamine deficiency and Wernicke's Encephalopathy are completely reversible if treated promptly with high dose Thiamine.

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.
