Well I'm sure most of us have used Pam cooking sprays, but I saw a commercial today and now I'm afraid of using Pam!

It is a commercial for Pam spray with flour in it! :blink: So I'm wondering if the regular stuff will stay remain gluten-free and free of contamination or not....anyone know?

Dunno, I have pretty much moved away from all those sprays now and use parchment paper, butter, or somthing else instead. Why add moe chemicals to your home cooked meal then you have to ?

According to the new Delphi list that just came out recently there is a note on there saying that Pam for Baking is NOT gluten free, however Pam NO STICK Spray is gluten-free.

If you are interested in using a spray, but are concerned about CC with Pam, you can get a non-aerosol spray bottle for spraying any cooking oil:

This particular one is pricey, but you can get cheaper versions. I have one that is plastic. :)

Yeah, I saw that add for the flour-added Pam on TV and was just thinking that I now have to make sure that nobody we know is using the stuff for any food they prepare that would otherwise be "safe". I rarely eat food made outside our house, and now I have just one more reason to stick with that mentality.

I know! Everyone in my family seems to use it :blink:

But IF the non-stick one is still safe, I'll just have to make sure mom at home even only buys that one!! I hate when companies do this!

Isn't it so frustrating!?! They tell you they're making it better, but they are only making it worse. Will regular spray bottles work for oil, or do I need a special one?

The Pam thing always made me nervous. I use Mazolas Pure Sprays. I particularly use the Canola Spray. There is no chemicals in it, and no wheat. I like it.

It's a "special" design where you pump the lid to create pressure, and then use the spray nozzle for a fine mist. These bottles are typically sold in specialty kitchen stores, but you may be able to find them in dept. stores as well. The bottle I use is called Open Original Shared Link.

That Pam with wheat has been around for over a year. You just have to check the label to make sure you're getting the right kind. I've found the aerosol pumps for your own oil get all messed up from time to time and send out a stream rather than a spray. Maybe a pricey one of those is the answer. I think mine was pretty cheap.

I've been told that a regular spray bottle will work fine. I haven't tried this myself, but I'm pretty sure it would work.

I keep forgetting to pick up a spray bottle, I need to do that on Monday. If I remember, I'll try it and let you know :)

It works!! I bought a cheap spray bottle, filled it w/olive oil, and presto!! All for less then a dollar :D I had to kinda fiddle with the nozzle till I got the right setting (it's one of those that you turn the nozzle and it changes the density of the mist) but after a minute or two I got it; and it works beautifully :)

Thanks for the tip! :) I was just thinking today (when I saw the Pam commercial) that there ought to be a cheap way that I can make my own at home. We've got a dollar store in town....it's worth the dollar just to try it! B)

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
