Hey everyone!

This topic has come up before on the forum, but I wanted to start a new discussion in hopes that it might be more up-to-date.

What brand of spices do you all use? I am referring to single ingredient spices, i.e. cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, etc. I have silent Celiacs so unfortunately I cannot tell if the McCormick's spices I am using are glutening me.

Thanks in advance!

I use the McCormick brand spices, and am not aware of them causing me any problems. I only use the "single" spices, but that is mostly because I prefer the versatility of making my own mixes.

I live in Canada and Club House (made by McCormick) has many mixes that carry the Canadian Celiac Assoc seal. I don't use them, but don't have any reason to believe they aren't fine. I think some of the concern comes from Nima sensor users, where the device cannot reliably evaluate foods that are brightly coloured (ie. some spices). 

Realistically, even if a spice or seasoning is close to 20 ppm gluten, it is not the same level of concern as other products. 20 ppm is a concentration, but it is the absolute amount of gluten that hurts you (concentration x weight). If you eat a small amount of something at 20 ppm (say a teaspoon of spice) it is very different from eating a bag of chips or two pieces of bread at 20 ppm.

I use Spicely Organics and The Spice house for singles and some blends as a chef. I also use Big Axe Spices for some blends and when selling foods at markets and planned for my food truck.

I use McCormicks and have no issues with them.

I also use McCormicks for single ingredient and Wegmans brand for mixed as long as the container has the circleG. They make a great garlic and herb mixed that I use almost daily.

I use Spicely. ALL their spices, even the combos, are certified gluten-free. You can find them at some Whole Foods, Lassen's, and other markets, BUT you can buy them on line directly from them at spicely.com.  I've found their products to be very fresh and very flavorful.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By trents · Posted

      Two thoughts: 1. What if the testing turns out negative? That won't rule out the development of active celiac disease later in life. You may have NCGS now which will transition in to celiac later on. 2. Your plan implies dishonesty in hiding it from your doctor and your insurance company.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you for your response. I'd love to read more about your suggestion, everything I find online speaks to the opposite. Unfortunately I need the HRT due to many other factors (post menopause symptoms and osteoporosis) so stopping the estrogen would be very unfortunate. Vitamin D is pretty good, not great, but now below the norm at 36

      I take a vitamin called 21 century it has everything magnesium potassium b12 and it's just a full supplement for the day ,then I have one that my mom brought which are gummies and then I tried centrum ,I also have range of different irons (iron sulphate,iron glyciatnate and others . My problem is that I live with my aunt and due to the circumstances in my home country ( war ) we live all in a small house and they don't cook food that is rich in food and I am not comfortable in cooking for my self like meat or something like that they get mad ,that I ate everything.so I mostly eat what they eat in the day which is just a big meal and then I make small snacks that i could eat I wanted to buy moringa powder or things that I can mix easily and put them in a water bottle.my family don't take things serious about celiac they just believe I am small because I eat rice which doesn't make you get fat as they believe.they also make fun of me when I say I am gonna eat alone due to your contamination I really struggle with them.also I have vitamin D ( it was the most absorbable vitamin for me ) my blood test went from 21 to 34 after i took 50000um I guess every week and that's it .can you recommend me vitamins I can buy from Amazon or anywhere

      Elevated estrogen or fluctuations in estrogen can contribute to leaky gut and cause elevated anti-gliadin IgG in people with celiac disease who are on a gluten-free diet,  High levels of progesterone have been shown to decrease gut permeability. Talk to your doctor about a vacation from the estrogen, from your decription it looks to be the culpret.  How is your vitamin D?

      The very reason you take supplements is because you absorb poorly due to the villi inflammation.  You need these vitamins to heal and get stronger.  Could you give us a list of what you are taking and quantity? Iron supplements cause a lot of people discomfort.  Better to get iron and folate from food.  Heme iron sources rom animal products like red meat, poultry, and seafood with raise your iron. Some blood tests like magnesium, potassium, the body has a homeostasis level that they must be in the nomal range.  So don't worry about the ones in normal range. As an example from myself.  I started taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D in 2014.  It only took a few weeks until I really felt the benefit.  I was very deficient.  In 2019 my blood level of 25(OH)D was one 47 ng/ml (=117 nmol/L).  Two more years to get to 80ng/ml (=200 nmol/L) the homeostasis level for vitamin D. Whuch ones make your side hurt?  Perhaps there is an alternate.   What vitamins are you concerned about?
