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)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
