Greek Seasoning Have Gluten Or Great Value Syrup?

Hello, does anyone know if Cavenders ( I think thats how its spelled) Greek Seasoning is gluten free? My daughter has been gluten free for a couple of months now, and suddenly she is itching, and breaking out again, and we are trying to figure out what could have happened. That seasoning is the only thing I can think of. Im celiac too, and my lips are started to blister, which sometimes happens if Im accidently glutened, but I have been very careful. Could syrup do that? we also had the walmart brand syrup, that says manufactured in a facility that processes wheat, but never had a problem before...

Here's your answer. I just email my questions to them. Since things can change so often it good every now and then to ask again. So to be safe just buy the Salt Free one.

From: "Denise Dutton" <frontdesk@greekseasoning.com>

Dear D,

Thank you for your inquiry on Cavender's Greek Seasoning. Although MSG is generally

considered gluten free if it is made in the USA, it is possible that imported MSG is not

gluten free. Since S-C Seasoning Company, Inc. uses both domestic and imported MSG

we can not "guarantee" our regular Cavender's Greek Seasoning to be gluten free.

We do manufacture a Salt Free version of Cavender's Greek Seasoning. The Salt Free

Cavender's contains the salt substitute "potassium chloride" and no MSG. Cavender's

Greek Seasoning Salt Free being MSG free would also be gluten free. If you try our

Salt Free Cavender's, you might want to start with a little less than you would the Regular

Cavender's as the potassium chloride can have a bitter taste if used in large amounts.

If you choose to try the Salt Free and are unable to locate it in your area, we have a retail

mail-order division "Jane's Kitchen". You can go to the Jane's Kitchen website at

www.cavendersseasoning.com where you'll find a printable order form and recipe ideas.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Denise Dutton

Wow!! thank you sooo much! that helped me a lot. I figured it could have been the seasoning. This isnt the first time I felt odd and had some sores on my lips and in my mouth after I ate it. And, it helps explain my daughters itching. Thanks again!!

I just dug out my ancient Cavender's remembering I often  had the same question...I always thought it was basically salt, pepper and oregano. I realize now mine does not list msg ... it is salt free.  It was something I used to used to season a greek salad in my "low fat" days to offset the awful taste of fat free dressings!!! But not wanting to use it or throw it away, I just kept putting it back without using it.

Thank you Ahorsesoul, for your research!!! :)

hipretty, please don't count on this information being true today as the date of the prior post was in 2009, that is 7 years ago! The best thing to do would be to contact the company. BTW, I doubt a 7 year old seasoning is good anymore.

squirmingitch you are funny :rolleyes:  I never said the spice is 7 years old, Ahorsesoul's post is 7 years old. I  only posted that yesterday! The Lavender's is at least 2-3 years old though...probably not as fresh as it could be. But you are right, I should contact the company anyway! Thanks for replying!

Sorry. You wouldn't believe how many times people post on here without realizing the last post is very, very old.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
