i have noticed vanillin being on some gluten-free lists but i have also seen it on NOT safe lists. hershey's syrup is on the gluten free list and does have vanillin so i'm thinking it may be ok? i love chocholate and a lot of it has vanillin so i really need to find out for sure if it is gluten-free.

Vanillin is a by-product of the paper making industry. Yes, that's right, paper. Pretty wierd, huh? They used to just dump it until they noticed it had a negative effect on the ecology, and then someone brilliant found that by tweaking it slightly chemically it could be made into a valuable commodity. Vanillin occurs naturally in vanilla and is the most notable flavor of over 400 that comprise the vanilla profile. Pure vanillin should be gluten free, but if it is in an alcohol solution there is a chance that it is a grain alcohol which could theoretically have gluten in it. The chances are slim, and if there was any it would be a very small amount, but when in doubt it is probably best to contact the manufacturer.

Never found vanillin with gluten. I'ts not an ingredient I question any more. Hershey clearly lists gluten in the ingredients.

This site Open Original Shared Link says that vanillin *could* contain gluten if it's made from a grain-based alcohol. Is this like all grain-based alcohols; if it's distilled it's most likely ok, but very, very sensitive celiacs may react?

This list has tons and tons of old information. For instance (just one), tuna with vegetable broth is without exception all gluten-free. Never found one that isn't. It's simply made from vegetables (and sometimes rosemary).

Vanillin is unquestionably gluten-free.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By barb simkin · Posted

      I have had a reaction to chocolate within 2 hours, severe abrupt dieherra.  With alcohol it can extend up to 12 hrs before the first reaction, but not as severe as chocolate.  I am also allergic to all fish and carry an epihpen.

      Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since those with celiac disease have a much higher change of having or getting additional autoimmune diseases it could definitely affect your health insurance rates. Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals with celiac disease could indeed be charged significantly higher premiums for private health insurance or even be denied coverage altogether, as it was a pre-existing condition that insurers could medically underwrite. The ACA's protections, which prohibit denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on health status, eliminated this practice, ensuring people with celiac disease could not be penalized financially for their diagnosis. However, this protection is not inherently permanent and is tied directly to the ACA's continued existence and enforcement; should the law be substantially weakened or repealed in the future, it is possible that a return to medical underwriting could once again allow insurers to charge individuals with pre-existing conditions like celiac disease higher premiums for their health coverage.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Jmartes71, your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound failure of the medical system to understand and properly manage celiac disease and its long-term consequences. Being dismissed and medically gaslit for three decades after an initial diagnosis is an unimaginable burden that has cost you your health, your career, and your sense of justice. The fact that a primary care physician of 25 years would offer to "fluff up" a disability claim rather than properly advocate for you based on a well-documented history is a devastating betrayal. While the positive HLA-DQ2 test offers a sliver of validation, it is infuriating that it isn't enough to end the fight, and it is completely understandable that you find this ongoing battle for basic belief and care to be utterly exhausting and deeply unfair.
