I just read somewhere the vanilla is not gluten free if it has an alcohol base?? Does anyone know this to be true? A lot of posts I have been looking at on here for the holidays have receipes that use vanilla extract..so I am confused.

All McCormick and Stop and Shop brand spices, herbs and extracts are gluten free.

McCormick's vanilla extract is safe.

It used to be believed that distilled alcohol was a source of gluten. This is now generally accepted to be untrue. Vanilla extract is made from distilled alcohol, and is gluten free. There is still a lot of old information out there on the internet that says that vanilla has gluten in it. Vanilla extract is listed on the safe foods list here on celiac.com.

McCormick's alcohol is synthetic--I called and spoke to them about it.

HI, ok here we go.. McCormicks-- the Vanilla is gluten-free-- why? because the "alchol" in it is snythesized-- it is man made-- they told me it is safe- I use it for my daughter -- in her pancakes to add a little extra flavor-- she has had no problems.. Mc Cormicks is great- if they add something to their products it is listed on there.

Is the McCormicks imitation vanilla also gluten free?

My sister once told me that she has not once found a vanilla with gluten in it yet--I do not worry about it. She bakes so much and is a celiac, plus a dietician--so I do value her opinion.

gluten free

dairy free

soy free

And the only ingredient I was worried about was the vanilla. The forum here is so wonderful. Thanks everyone.

Oh, and if you think duplicate answers are useless, they're not. They only serve to confirm each other.

Try this link, the one you listed seems like a food site but it was a bit off so I looked it up on Google

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
