Hi, Does anyone know if vanilla extract, baking soda and chocolate chips have any gluten in them? We want to make some chocolate chip cookies and need some advice! Thanks

Pure baking soda is fine, most baking powder is fine but check the label to be sure, pure vanilla extract is gluten-free but you want to make sure it is pure, & as for chocolate chips, seems I've seen somewhere that some might NOT be okay... can't remember for sure. Hershey's, Nestle's & Ghiardelli are supposed to be safe though.

Happy baking!

Nestle Chocolate Chips are gluten-free! :)

You always need to read the label--don't assume that a product is gluten-free until you check!

Thanks, I know, I have started reading labels but some of the ingredients I have never heard of. I'm not sure if there is hidden gluten in there! I wish everything would say gluten in the ingredience or gluten freee would be even better. I was buying Cozy shack rice pudding and reading the label, to my surprise it says Gluten Free right on the product. I then pick up a chocolate Cozy Shack and it also says Gluten Free, so I bought that one too! Things need to be labeled better.

Careful, some vanilla extracts- a lot actually- are made with grain alcohols. I make my own. Very easy- 3 vanilla beans in skinny bottle with plain brandy for a month. Delicious!

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
