I heard that some vitamins and spices have fillers with gluten. What brands are safe?

I use Nature Made Vitamins. It says right on the label that they are Gluten Free!! :D

The Spice Hunter claims not to use gluten in any of their herbs or spices, including spice blends like curry powder (hooray!). You might want to call them (800-444-3061) and see if you get the same answer. (I don't know about you, but I am always a little bit suspicious when a company assures me their products are fine to use--do they even know what I'm talking about? Of course, SOME things have to be OK, right?)

Anyone call McCormick?

seeking-wholeness Explorer

I have read (on the old board) that McCormick is planning to change their manufacturing procedure sometime this month so their spices will NO LONGER be processed on a dedicated gluten-free line! I have not called them yet to verify this. I am considering expressing my displeasure with that idea using my consumer dollars, regardless of whether they actually make the change. (If they are willing to entertain the idea of losing the business of people with celiac disease, I for one will oblige them!)

Any SINGLE herbs/spices that you bought before 2004 should be gluten-free; I don't know about blends.

Yes, I was the one McCormicks told about the spices. She told me to check back in the new year about the spices. She also said it was not definite (at the time,early Dec.)

I also voiced my opinion on this matter.

P.S. I called the Canadian phone number, so it might be different info. elsewhere.

I used Freeda vitamins for awhile they seemed to be fine. I use McCormick spices and wasn't aware of this change in their production line. I too am a little concerned about this, they are the only spiced I use!!!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      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.
