I am new to eating gluten free and was wondering if anyone had advice on which spices and seasonings are safe to eat. Any help would be great. Thanks

Hi Linds--welcome :)

I use McCormick spices. I have spoken to them by phone, and they will clearly list any gluten on the label, so all you need to do is read. Their Pure Vanilla Extract is also safe for us.

If there's anything else we can answer for you, don't hesitate to ask!

All Tex Joy brand spices are gluten free. They sell in Southeast Texas/Southwest Louisiana in the grocery stores, but also have them where you can buy them online at their website www.texjoy.com. They are located in my hometown, and were super nice in their reply to my query as to their gluten free status. They even posted on their website that they are all gluten free after I asked. The only things they package in their facility are spices and cofee. They swore that they never ever have gluten, barley, rye or oats in their facility. My spice cabinet is probably 90% Tex Joy products, but that was before going gluten free too.

I sent a number of emails out on spices. A few replies, it may be worth to check again as these were about 6 months ago.

Spice Hunter : (quoted reply)

"

Our spices and spice blends are gluten free. However, some of our box and

cup products do contain gluten. These products are made using common

processing equipment, which is cleaned thoroughly between uses. Because of

shared equipment we cannot guarantee that all traces of gluten are removed,

therefore, we do not claim that any of our cup & box products are "gluten

free".

Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

Tones/Spice Islands/Durkee also stated that all their plain spices are gluten free and they are 100% spices, but blends may contain other things.

Sure cross contaimination could be an issue. But for the big "spice only" companies, I find it hard to even imagine a blend or something with flour in it.

Nice to know, though it would be nice if they specified the kind of alcohol they use for the extracts. I found a brand called Spicery Shoppe that is all-natural, no alcohol, and no sugars either :)

      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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      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.
