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 :(

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
