I thought I remember hearing Pam cooking spray is gluten-free, but want to confirm. Does anyone know whether it is gluten-free or not. Thank for your replies.

Regular Pam is gluten-free. We use it all the time. However, I recall there being one specialized version (baking?) which is not gluten-free.

Pam is made by ConAgra. They are a company with a full gluten disclosure policy. Read the ingredients. If gluten is present you will see it clearly listed as wheat, barley, rye, or oats. If you don't see one of those words, then the product is gluten-free.

The one that's not gluten-free is actually called something like "Pam with flour," so it's pretty obvious. I use Pam for Grilling, because it's the only cooking spray I've found that's soy-free as well as gluten/dairy-free.

Thanks, I thought it was gluten-free but saw the "grain alcohol" listed and it made me second guess its gluten-free status.

Well, dang....just saw a post on Facebook and no...Pam is not gluten free folks!

Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link do not contain any ingredients derived from wheat products. However, Open Original Shared Link is not gluten-free, as it contains real flour, which is derived from wheat.

Ok, sorry, can't find my post to revise it...yes, just the baking one according to Pam has gluten, but I still posted the question on their facebook page to see what they say.

The info on this thread is more than 6 years old. Products change over time.  Pam has no gluten ingredients and I use it all the time. However, baking sprays with flour, of course, have gluten.  Those are meant for baking a cake when the recipes says butter and lightly flour the pan.  You wouldn't use those for normal cooking or even cookie baking.

This topic is more than six years old. My comment on 15 March 2007 still stands. With the exception of PAM Baking, all versions of PAM are gluten-free. ConAgra will clearly disclose gluten in any of their products.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
