Doss Pam Baking Spray Contain Gluten?

Hello! I was diagnosed with Celiac disease on July of last year. Since then I have been trying to avoid contact with any gluten, though there has been a few slipups.

Recently I have been in a baking mood, and use Pam sprays often on my pans. It came to my attention that Pam's baking spray contains flour in it. I'm surprised at my stupidity for not reading the label. I didn't realize this before because I had no reaction to it for the many times I have used it. Have any other celiacs tried it and noticed the same thing? I wondered if the flour in the spray has been processed to the point of containing little to no gluten, or if the amount of flour in the spray is so small that it goes unnoticed by my organs? I have not seen an internist to check my gluten levels yet, I'm just basing this on that I have not gotten sick from using the spray.

Am I under-sensitive or is there actually minimal to no gluten in Pam's baking spray?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It looks like their Pam Original, Pam Olive Oil, Pam Grilling, Pam Avocado Oil, Pam Coconut Oil and Pam Butter don't contain any gluten ingredients:

But, it does look like their Pam Baking spray does contain wheat!

Wheat Flour

Wheat flour is a powder-like substance that is obtained by milling wheat and is used in a wide range of baked products.

Thank you for answering! Yes, Pam baking spray does contain wheat, but I was wondering if it contained enough gluten to trigger celiac symptoms. Eating a gluten bread crumb has gotten me sick before. Yet I have used Pam baking spray several times and not gotten a reaction from it.

I don't know the exact amount of gluten you would get from each use, it would be difficult to calculate, but for someone with celiac disease any amount is too much. Over time it could cause low level damage so it would be best for you to give it away and get one of the other varieties that don't contain any gluten.

Thank you! Even though I have not noticed damage I have quit using Pam baking spray and am using other safer cooking sprays. I'm going to pay much better attention to what I cook with from now on.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      I sure appreciate the information. I knew there had to be gluten consumption for the blood test, but I did not realize that also applied to biopsies. Thank you so much for that nugget of knowledge. I look forward to learning more as I dive into this website and the collective knowledge, experience, and wisdom from those who have gone before and/or those...

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.
