Gluten Free Sage?

We are very strict on our gluten-free diet but over the winter I kept having a slight problem I never nailed down.

We had a cool weather wise weekend so decided to make stuffed chicken. Woke up last night with stomach pains and cramping.

Had lunch just a while ago and D followed not so long after.

The only thing it can be is the sage. We make our dressing with Energy bread, salt, pepper, celery, onions, and sage. We stuff a fryer chicken with it and cook it in the oven.

We make gravy but we use Argo's Corn starch which we've used plenty of times before. Mashed potatoes which again we have all the time.

The only thing that stands out is the sage. We had dinner at my sisters a few weeks ago and had turkey, we all make the dressing the same way and I did not get sick but different brand of sage which she threw out when the bottle was empty.

So either there is gluten in the chicken or its the Sage. Everything else in this house is 100 percent gluten-free and I never feel one bit off eating at home.

Anyone found one they know to be gluten-free?

I use Morton and Basset but sage should be gluten-free unless it's in a spice mix. Could you have food poisoning? Sorry you're not feeling well :(

I know this is unbelievable but I am highly sensitive to gluten and discovered last spring I was getting gluten from McCormick's ground sage which I had just started putting in chicken. I KNOW my gluten symptoms- took it out and all was well. I now buy all my spices fresh, dry them myself and have not had any trouble with them. It doesn't

take too long and they are oh so fresh!

It could, of course, be something else for you but I've learned "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses"

good luck!

That's so stinky!! I'm really sensitive too so this is good to know- they make a lot of blends (and gravy mixes, right?) so it must be CC.

I've never had a problem with Morton and Basset but I agree, when you can do your own, it's for the best.

I'll try Morton's or Bassets. Its not food poisoning, I know my symptoms.

The brand she had bought had no label, might even have bought it up in Canada since it was partly in French.

Thanks for the info, its one of our favorite dishes because its great for left overs for a few days.

      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...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      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...

      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 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?

      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 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.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
