Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than I (and a better speller) will add to this post. From what I have read the word spice could indicate gluten. However, with the new labeling laws it would have to state if it at least had wheat (the law does not cover gluten, just wheat). Depending on the product it may be best to contact the company or look online.

in theory, "spices", "natural spices", and the like *could* contain gluten. I haven't found much that does, but it's one of those ingredients you call on to verify.

It used to be common to use wheat starch to bind mixed spices together. Or, for cheaper spices to go farther as a filler. That practice is disappearing thank heaven. But unless you are confident that the company will state the offending ingredient you should call to varify that the spices are in fact gluten free. And in this case the law that makes wheat an ingredient that must be stated, it should help. I don't think any of the heavier grains such as barley or rye was ever used to bind spices.

I would contact the company just to be safe. Is there a product in particular that you are concerned about? Maybe some of us can tell you if the product is safe.

tonight it was rosarita brand enchilada sauce---but i saw on the label that it is from con-agra foods. they are supposed to say if they have wheat----hopefully the spices in it were ok. now i have seen some other brands that people have said are safe----i'm not loyal to, nor do i prefer any certain brand, so i can find something else---i was just in a hurry tonight.

I am always cautious when I see that because some of my spices had wheat in them. I always check on that stuff.

I think I will start buying McCormick spices. I've heard that those spices are pure.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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.
