Gellan Gum & New Artisan Cafe Coffee Creamers

Hi there.  I was wondering if anyone has eaten products with gellan gum in them?  I looked it up and it sounds like it would be safe for gluten-free eating?  I try to avoid corn products (including xantham gum) and soy as much as I can (I should probably stop eating that stuff all together), and so I was happy to see the new Artisan Cafe flavored coffee creamers from Coffee Mate don't seem to have any corn or soy ingredients. I just emailed them to double check they are gluten-free, which I am pretty sure they are, but figured I'd better double check since it's a new product.  I was just curious as to how anyone here has reacted to eating items with gellan gum in them?  Did it bother you at all?  It sounds like it'd be a great ingredient to replace xanthan gum and corn starches. It'd be nice to see more companies try using it. But not sure if it bothers anyone with gluten and other food sensitivities?

I got an email reply back and yes, the new Artisan Cafe creamers are gluten free and soy free also. This was their reply:

"We are pleased to let you know that all three of the Coffee-mate® Artisan Cafe Creamer flavors are labeled as Gluten Free.  
We consider "gluten free" to mean that no gluten ingredients are in the product, whether directly added, or potentially present due to cross-contact. In other words, if a product label has an allergen advisory statement, such as "may contain wheat", we do not consider that product to be gluten free. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product.
These also do not contain Soy. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. Again! We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. 
Corn is not in the ingredients list but it could be in the Natural Flavor. The ingredients in Natural Flavors are proprietary. 
There is a money saving coupon link below. Please respond to this email with your postal mailing address and we will mail you coupons also. 
Have a great day!

Nestlé® Brand Ambassador"

There was no money-saving link at the bottom of the email that I could find, but apparently if you send them your address they will mail you coupons.

I had a terrible "glutened" reaction to the artisian creamers.  They taste great, but I have felt horrible for the past 2 weeks after consuming the creamer on a daily basis, like I did before I was diagnosed and went off gluten.  They claim to be gluten-free, but they also have "natural flavors" listed which often times can be a hidden source of gluten.  I will not buy these again and have felt so much better since stopping them.  Try at your own risk!

In the US, natural

flavors can not contain gluten unless they list it.

I agree with Karen (she knows her stuff), but why even buy processed junk?  Go for some traditional cream and milk!  It is REAL!

That's true. I just missed some flavored coffees though and thought it'd be nice to find something with some flavor. I have not tried them yet though because I can't find a single store in my town that sells the new Artisan Cafe ones. I did see some made with coconut milk or almond milk that I might try. And these new Artisan Cafe ones seem like they are natural.  Here is the ingredients for the caramel flavor-Cream, Sugar, Milk, Buttermilk, and Less Than 2% of Natural Flavor, Himalayan Pink Salt, Gellan Gum.

So I was curious about the gellan gum.  Maybe that bothers some people?

I do not eat gluten-free. I just happened upon this page when searching gellan gum. With the help of a nutritionist and by eliminating things one-by-one from my diet, it was determined that gellan gum that I was getting in almond milk was causing my past reflux. I am absolutely fine since I've eliminated it. This could be the reason some of you who have tried this coffee creamer do not feel well.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
