Zatarain's has always said they'd list gluten. If the soy sauce doesn't list wheat, it doesn't have it. Every soy sauce I've ever seen lists wheat if it has it since that's a MAJOR ingredient.

I've used Zatarain's Jambablaya, jambalaya with cheese, and their Spanish Rice and have not had any reactions. There are a few I haven't used though. We eat them regularly in my house and everyone's fine.

I use the Jambalaya all the time, and have not had any problems either. It list soy instead of wheat for the sauce.

Zatarain's is really good - my husband and I used to eat those before I went gluten-free. Their red beans & rice and dirty rice are my favorites, but they're NOT gluten-free. <_<

Thank goodness the jambalaya is though!

I love the 'dirty rice' mix, haven't had any reaction to that either.

The original post was four years old. Companies change ingredients and it may not have been gluten-free then but may be now. Better to read labels or contact makers than using very old threads to see whether something is safe or not.

Read the earlier post about old threads. This is a problem. I'm trying to train myself to check the date of posts, but I frequently forget. Please be careful about resurecting old posts.

I would be very aware of the zatarain jambalaya mix!  It says on the box gluten free but is still being made in a facility with products that are not.  I purchased a box and were sick for several days because of the gluten.  Maybe some with celiac that are not as sensitive to gluten as I am may be able to tolerate it.  But still I would advise not trying it.

This thread is eight years old. Information in it is probably out of date. I would not depend on anything in this topic.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
