Are their brands or lines that are gluten free? I can't seem to find anyone who will commit to spices being gluten free?

I'm assuming I need to dump all my current spices (I have used a couple of them recently, and I don't think I'm reacting to them, but I'd prefer to be safe than sorry).

Even Whole Foods doesn't list ANY of their spices on their gluten free list, and it does have the "good manufacturing process" statement on them. Do I trust that???

THANKS!

McCormick will clearly list any gluten so with them all you do is read the ingredients. If there are no ingredients, that means the only thing in there is the listed spice or herb. I think Frontier has a gluten-free list. I know there are others.

Based on my experience and posts over 5 years, pure spices are pretty much without exception gluten-free. The old thing about companies using flour to prevent clumping is simply a celiac myth. Spice mixes, particularly ones made as a rub or a marinade, can have wheat (I've never seen barley, rye or oats), but in those cases you'll usually find the wheat listed. Call if you really aren't sure about a mix.

From my experience, McCormick is a great company about listing very clearly (in their seasoning mixes, like for tacos, enchiladas, etc) gluten ingredients. When I have had questions, they were very helpful on the phone. I used them a lot before being diagnosed, and use them all the time now.

I called Frontier in about July, and they said that all of their spices had 'no added gluten' but it was in the same facility, on the same lines, and they do not test in between.

I was fine, and then I bought one (it might have been a fluke) and got quite sick (it was definitely the spice, I re-tested it on myself to make sure that is what it was). Anyway - just a heads up, it's your own descretion, but I've stopped using those, personally.

I use McCormick and Club House. Both companies have warned that the risk of cross contamination is greater with larger containers. So I recommend buying smaller containers.

I also generally do not worry about pure spices. My preferred brand, just for flavor is Spice Hunter.

Ditto, I also use McCormick and Club House.

We like to use Spice Trends (we live in WI) that, I believe, is made by McCormick. We haven't found any yet that have gluten. Hope this helps!

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
