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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
