Ok, I'm new to this. My husband was just diagnosed a month ago. here's the problem. I am italian and like breading things.. at least with flavor. we bought some gluten free bread crumbs, and if you ask me they are way boring. Is there anyway I can add flavor? Garlic, italian seasoning, parsley, etc? Any ideas, suggestions? Or are spices gluten filled as well? If so, what spices should I stay away from??

Help!

I use McCormick brand spices. They will clearly list gluten on the label if there is any. I have never had a problem with them. I generally add things like italian seasoning and garlic to my italian foods. I'm not italian though, so I may be way off.

No, you're right on. Basically, italian food is one of a handful of spices! LOL.. I haven't read anything about spices being bad but wasn't sure. as long as the spices are gluten free I can bread stuff right? I make cutlets, turkey or chicken, I think the only other thing I use is eggs and those are ok right? Ugh, I know I will get this eventually! Thank you

Eggs are fine. Some spices are not, so stick with a trusted brand. Some supposedly use wheat flour as an anti-caking or anti-stick agent. McCormick doesn't.

Well, as you buy several different kinds of gluten-free bread, looking for one that appeals to your husband... You will have LOTS of material for making bread crumbs!! :P

I think you can continue to use a lot of your regular ways of cooking, and spicing things, just read ingredients carefully, to find brands that are gluten-free. I use a lot of fresh garlic, onion, red and green peppers, red wine vinegar, gluten-free worchestershire, fresh ground black pepper, and dried herbs, just as I did before I started eating gluten-free.

I would stay away from "seasoning salt" type mixes, that have starches and flavor enhancers.

Have fun!

Make the Lorka150 bread (find the thread here on the most wonderful bread ever made)....THEN, after it's aged a couple days....toast it dry and make your own crumbs! It is the closest thing to wheat bread I have tasted...it's so good.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and italian seasoning and I guarantee it will be better than any bread crumbs you could buy! SO GOOD!!!!

Make sure the spices/seasoning are gluten free. McCormick is one, but there are others too. For herbs (like the Italian seasoning) there is no need for an anticaking agent, so that you can pick however. But the dried ones need to check for sure.

MMMMM....

Which brand of Worcestershire is gluten-free? Do the cheap brands have gluten?

P.S. I put gluten-free bread in the processer with a couple of cloves of garlic and a wedge of onion and a couple of sprigs of parsley and puree it all and freeze in a zip lock bag. other seasons, oregano, etc., can be added later.

Lea & Perrins is gluten free. (If you live in the US. I believe it is not in Canada).

For bread crumbs, I generally make my own taking any gluten-free bread, let it get hard, crumble it up in the food processor and then just add some salt, garlic, oregano and parsley. I did however just buy the Gillian's Italian seasoned breadcrumbs the other day and used them Sunday night to make meatballs and they were really good. The Italian seasoned ones are harder to find than the plain ones, but you can still jazz up the plain ones.

I use "The Wizard's" Organic Wheat-free Vegan Worchestershire sauce (made by Edward and Sons). Their site says it's gluten-free.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
