Carnation Evaporated Milk?

Is anyone sure about if Carnation Evaporated Milk is gluten free?  I saw some websites and lists that mentioned just some Carnation being gluten free, like some of the light evaporated milks, etc.  but those lists did not include the plain, regular evaporated milk.  But then I saw a list that said that all carnation milks are gluten free.  I was just wondering if anyone uses it (the plain, regular one, not the light or extra creamy or other versions of it) and are okay with it?

I have used it.  NO reason to think it isn't gluten-free.

 I do not have a can handy.  What does the label say?  You always want to check the label on any packaged product  every single time.  If you want to know if I have consumed it and avoided a celiac flare-up, then the answer is a sound YES!   I use it in my no-bake lemon jello cheesecake from the 1960’s when Jello was all the rage.

I just used a can last night - the ingredients are something like - milk, vitamin & something to add color - maybe carrageenan?

That lemon jello recipe sounds good.  I was wondering about jello too, if they are gluten free.

Thanks, good to know.  I just used some in pumpkin pie (no crust) and just wanted to make sure that was not what was bothering me. It seemed safe, but it's hard when sometimes you see varying lists online about a product.

Yes, Jello is gluten-free.  But you are not feeling well and don't know why.  Like I suggested before - cut out all these multi ingredient foods.  there is no way to know what you are reacting to if you are eating 40 different ingredients in a day!  Maybe its milk, maybe pumpkin, maybe carrageen in the milk, maybe a spice , ....that is just the pie

I believe that any product certified gluten-free (at least in Canada) means that it has been produced in a facility that uses no gluten or related products. This means there is no cross contamination. Even a crumb can cause an issue for celiacs. So a facility that produces several different products, including gluten-free products, is not contaminant free and should be avoided.

This is NOT the case in the US.  Some certified gluten free products in the US are made in shared facilities with shared equipment (for example, Nature’s Path cereals). Certified products must use strict cleaning procedures and an outside company evaluates the procedures and does some testing of the products.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      It is addictive. The dopamine hit I get from a sandwich after being gluten free for a while is insane and I immediately crave more. Maybe if I think of it more like an addiction I'll be able to beat it in the future.

      Undiagnosed Celiac Disease was your root cause.  As you heal and adress nutritional deficiencies you'll see lifetime symptoms disapear, some you don't even realize you have.     Until 1951 no one knew the cause.  Around 1900 it was also called "Infantilism", you outgrew it or died.  Dr Hass around 1920 was the first to come up with a treatment with close to 100% survival.  At 63 I followed his diet for a while and it helped me past the early stage of recovery.  Even then it was only considered a childhood disease, eventually the child outgrew it.  Once outgrown the child was reintroduced to wheat.  After that any symptoms that arose were attributed to whatever was popular, gall bladder, allergy, endometriosis, etc.  Often the final diagnosis is "we do not know the cause, it is just normal for some people, but we have medications that will treat your symptoms."   I was bloated, and always colicky.  When my son was born in 1976, my mother commented "You got what you gave."  I pointed out to my wife that he looked like a Biafra baby from the Biafra famine in 1970.  One of the first successful sales of modern wheat was to replace the rice the Biafran Aid Society supplied.  After searching the state where we lived (pop. 6 million) we found the one child gastroenterologist familiar with Celiac.  He only had 13 other children dianosed with the disease under his care and after several endoscopies my son was diagnosed, put on GFD and immediately thrived.  The doctor also suggested my wife and I also do gluten free.  We declined, not having any gastro problems.  That remains my only regret in my life. THE VALUE OF THE BANANA IN THE TREATMENT OF CELIAC DISEASE  Dr Hass' 1924 puplication with diet. There are over 300 symptoms related to celiac disease I believe that if you have the genes, you have Celiac Disease, but your immune system is strong enough to keep it subdued, or your symptoms are misdiagnosed as something not wheat.  Until something happens to weaken the immune system, and symptoms, often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated, until eventually you die, never knowing or you get lucky and end up eating gluten free.  To me it explains the late onset of acute symptoms, many are "just normal for you". Ever wonder why people get so angry if you suggest they may have Celiac Disease.  Wheat is a cultural and economic staple of our lives.  And it is addictive, it numbs our body.  Suddenly, gluten free, all the other irritants are no longer suppressed.

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.
