365 Organic Spices

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last month. I am overwhelmed with ridding my kitchen of cross contaminated goods as well as finding safe products to replace them with. I have read that Spicely Organic Spices is the best option, but they are more than I can afford. What is the consensus on Whole Foods 365 spices? The back of the jars say “Produced in a facility that processes tree nuts, milk, eggs and soy.” There is no mention of wheat. Is it safe to assume these are NOT cross contaminated?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for finding nuts that are not cross contaminated besides Nuts.com?

I use McCormick single (not mixed) spices.  I have used nuts.com and Kirkland peanuts (certified).  There are other brands.  Let’s hope others chime in.

Spices.. I like Big Axe spices blends due to no salt myself, I used to use Flavor God before they did  the huge price hike years ago. I have also used McCormick for some individual spices...I honestly feel iffy about their blends. But like many I buy many of mine form Spicely in the bulk club packs to save.

I tend to order my Almonds straight from Alldrin Almonds a family owned farm in California. I have discount codes if you like, but I get 25lb cases and divide it up into  a bunch of smaller air tight containers with desiccant packs for longer term storage and store in a cold area. You can also vacuum pack and freeze for up to a year. I order my seeds from MyGerbs.com also. Nuts.come seems good but they also process some other allergens for me so I tend to go with places that are free of just in case.

So much great advice, much appreciation. I have heard of Alldrin Almonds. I emailed them about their farming practices, pesticides and pasteurization methods with no response. Do you happen to know if they do chemical or steam pasteurize? A 25 lb case is the way to go and I would do the same. A discount code would be of GREAT help. Thank you!!

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!
