Does anyone react to spices? Im eating mccormick's spices because they are suppose to be corn free and gluten free and yet Im reacting to something. Im soy, gluten, corn, nuts and dairy free. But wouldnt mccormick's list these items?

Thanks

ETA- Im also not tolerating nightshades and lectins.

McCormick (and others folks) is NOT required to list corn (not a top 8 allergen). They must list the others.

If those spices have paprika in them, they wouldn't be nightshade-free, as it's derived from chile peppers. All peppers are part of the nightshade family. Open Original Shared Link

The spices that McCormick makes that have just the spice listed are just that, only the spice. On their mixes they will list all ingredients without hiding any. Personally I just use their 'pure' spices with the exception of their Garam Marsela which is a mixture. I have never had any issues with those.

I, too, have just started using the PLAIN McCormick spices. So far, so good. Maybe it's something else? I have all the same intolerances as you, by the way, and avoid those foods. (Air tastes good, eh?)

I had a friend who was allergic to oregano. Whenever she would have it she wouldn't sleep and be extremely agitated. But thats an herb. I don't know what your using. I would think mold could be a problem in drying certain herbs like sage. It looks and smells like mold to me, but that might just be the nature of the plant.

I wonder if they use pesticides to grow these. I imagine they do because I remember growing them and bugs just love em.

Do you get an allergic reaction or a gluten reaction like cramps, gas, D. I would agree with the blends you might run into a formula they use to keep the spices mixed together and flowing nice.

Sorry I didnt get back sooner, Thanks everyone :)

It was their garlic powder. I usually only buy plain spices from them. Ursula, I didnt know that about paprika thanks for the future information.

Lisa- Air is lovely! :D I thought I was reacting to rice too but I tried it again last week and it was ok! I do not want to give up that.

Gail- It's an odd reaction, Stomach upset and gas but no diarrhea and is gone in a few hours. Im going to stick with fresh garlic cloves and see if that remedies it or to see if I have a problem with garlic.

Ravenwoodglass- Im caffiene free the rest of my life thanks to my glaucoma :angry: no more chocolate ever :(

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By cristiana · Posted

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Gluten-Free Drinks

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there could still be internal damage occurring, so it might be worth verifying the brand’s ingredients or contacting the manufacturer for clarity. In the future, sticking to certified gluten-free options or cider-based radlers could be a safer bet. Glad you’re feeling okay, but always better to err on the side of caution!
