Black pepper - an issue?

I get bad DH if I'm exposed to gluten, and I'm also super sensitive to gluten. I've been in good shape for a year and a half after adopting the Fasano Diet. I give you all this by way of background.

I would like to buy some black pepper to add seasoning to my food. Are there any preferred brands, or things to look out for? I'm wary of shared lines and facilities due to my DH.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Congratulations on getting your DH under control!  It was probably hard work (I trialed the Fasano diet for a few months too.)

I use Kirkland brand whole black pepper from Costco.  I have been using it for years.  I do not have DH, but I know that I have healed from celiac disease (not actively flaring) based on repeat intestinal biopsies if that helps!  ?

I have dh & just use McCormick black pepper. McCormick single spices are fine. Here's a link to their contact & FAQ's page:

Stay away from PEPPER. 3 years celiac and PEPPER for me mimics "cross contamination " of gluten. As with any pepper(vegetable or spice). Dips like salsa STAY AWAY.

This link talks about spices as possible cross reactives to gluten. I have issues with nightshades. I realized pepper isnt a nightshade, and thought maybe I could eat it and ended up with a skin reaction. Interestingly enough the skin reaction stays just folliculitis if I don't combine foods I react to with marijuana. As soon as I throw marijuana in the mix blisters start to form. Otherwise the reaction is just folliculitis. Both rashes are generally on my butt, upper thighs and sometimes lower back. After I cut all foods I react to out for several months it seems I can tolerate adding them back in but only for 1 to two months before skin reactions occur. It starts as acne that is on my face, neck, back, chest, lower thighs, and then turns to follicultis on my butt. If I smoke pot on top of eating the reaction foods the rash looks like DH on my butt and upper thighs. I can watch it form instantly as I smoke.  The supposed DH heals up, no itch, no blisters, with 6000 mgs of lysine and vitamin C if I catch it right away. The folliculitis and acne heals up with application of apple cider vinegar followed by tea tree oil. Any of the skin conditions persist with continued exposure to the reaction foods but I can still keep symptoms at bay with the above mentioned remedies. In the absence of all reaction foods and marijuana I have not a single blemish and my skin is soft, smooth and perfect.

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!
