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

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?

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!!!

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
