"spices"

When "spices" are listed in an ingredient list, is that something I should avoid until I can double-check, or does it just refer to herbs and stuff that would always be gluten free?

From my experience there is no simple answer to your question. However, the new labeling laws will rule out wheat (they have to list this), but not gluten. It also depends on the product. For example, if it is Kraft I would say it is safe. Kraft's policy is not to hide gluten. If it were me I would wait until I could look up the product on the internet or call the company.

Have to agree, I find brands you can trust and ones you cannot.

However most of all I recommend not buying anything that says "spices" or "natural flavoring" on the packet...

When "spices" or "natural flavors" are listed on a label, and it's a brand that you are not sure of, it's always necessary to check.

I will not put anything in my mouth that has spices listed until I can confirm. Unless it is Kraft or one of the other companies that will clearly list gluten.

I always check unless it is one of the awesome companies that will not hide anything.

I HATE seeing the words "spices" and "natural flavoring" ... that is so general. Shouldn't even be allowed on a label!!

I agree...very frustrating!! Not only b/c of the issue with gluten, but it would be nice to know what you are eating if you do happen to have a reaction of some sort.

As far as flavoring your food, McCormike's grinders are always good for me....all natural dryed herbs.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
