Plain spices are almost always gluten free, though there is a rumor that some are mixed with wheat to prevent clumping. (I've yet to find an example of this in a pure spice, but it's better to be safe than sorry.) Seasonings (a mixture of spices) are more likely to have wheat in them, but it's not a given. You always have to check the ingredients. (I've noticed that seasoning packets, for one time use in a particular dish, are much more likely to have wheat that general seasonings like "lemon pepper" or "curry" in the standard spice bottles.)

When in doubt, check with the company. I know the McCormick won't hide anything on their labels, so just read them. The same holds for Spice Hunter, which doesn't use gluten in any of their spices or seasonings unless obviously labeled.

when spices are used in the ingredients of a product and you are in doubt, always contact the mfr., If you are wanting to buy pure spices McCormick won't hide anything, but I like to use Simply Organic spices...

I have a lemon pepper spice and another one from that brand that the first ingredient is wheat! So just read labels! I am new to this and have been sticking with McCormick and reading their labels.

good luck!

I wrote Mrs Dask and Emrils (you can see their replies in my old posts under one of the "product info" posts) and both Emril and Mrs. Dask Spices all varieties are gluten-free (Mrs. Dash glazes are not gluten-free though).

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
