I've decided that my attempt to segregate our kitchen to gluten and non-gluten isn't working perfectly, so have decided to degluten the whole kitchen, having hubby and friends eat gluten out and outside only.

So I need to clean out the spice cabinet, and am wondering if there are any BRANDS that are all gluten-free - especially nonirradiated organic stuff.

If there's no brand that is all gluten-free, I'll get on the telephone and figure out which ones i can keep and which I have to give away.

Thanks.

There was a list on this board of "trusted companies" such as Kraft and Con Agra that will disclose any gluten. On that list also was McCormick, so I've been buying mostly McCormick spices, and have even found that their Taco Seasoning packet is gluten-free. I've used it several times with no problems.

What was the final straw that made you decide to make your kitchen completely gluten free? That is my next difficult planned step. Why didn't the shared plan work for you?

McCormick and Mrs Dash is gluten-free. I emailed "Simply Organic" spices (found them on amazon), waiting for reply. Last I heard Spice Islands will only vouch for their pure spices, not mixes. I'm suprised Whole Foods didn't have the 365 brand spices in their gluten-free list. :huh: Are they just so obviously gluten-free that they didn't bother or does WF's not know status of their spices?

I don't know where you live but most Publix brand spices are gluten free. I have the list if anyone would like to see it.

I've gotten attitude and mixed messages from Badia. They probably are gluten-free but I avoid them.

I use McCormick spices. When I spoke to them on the phone, they told me that any ingredients would be clearly listed on the label. Their Pure Vanilla Extract is gluten-free, also :)

Ironically, it was putting my husband on a mostly grain-free diet that seemed to mess up our process. I think we all stopped being very careful since there was hardly any gluten in the house. It is just too confusing to have two sponges, two scrubbies, a separate cutting board, etc. We have a friend who cooks at our house once a week or so for family dinners, and he can't keep it straight. He has some short term memory problems due to lifestyle choices.

So, I'm going to get rid of all the gluten in the house except beer. We can all keep track of that, and since beer glasses don't have to get scrubbed B4 the dishwasher, the spong should stay safe.

I think what happened is that I used my mustard on meat roll-ups for Joe and his meat ins't gluten-free. So I started to feel crappy again. But I'm not sure if I was glutened at all.

Anyway, it'll be better for Joe and my friend Don anyway - eating gluten-free is healthy for all.

Thanks all about the spices. I'll look into McCormick for most stuff. Thanks.

Reply from Simply Organic -

"Thank you for your interest in Frontier. We don't provide a gluten free statement for our products since the facility and production lines haven't been verified to run as such. We don't add any gluten to our product; however some do have naturally occurring gluten. If there is anything else we can do to assist you please let us know."

"No, yes, no, maybe." Well at least they're clear. :huh:

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to ...

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
