I just woke up from my nap and ate a sugar cookie that I made but used food dye this time in the frosting and feel bloated.

Here are the ingredients:

Water, Propylene Glycol, FD & C Blue 1, FD&C Red 3. FD&C Yellow 5, FD&C Red 40 and Proplparaben (Preservative)

the Better Crocker Decor selects which are a 6 pack of sprinkles has the following ingredients

Sugar, caranuba wax, confectioner glaze, yellow 5 and 6, red 3, blue 1

I made the sugar cookies last week without the dye and sprinkles and did just fine so it has to be something in one of these ingredients.

Does powdered sugar have wheat?

If powdered sugar had wheat, the law would require it to be listed.

Nothing in the ingredients you listed would seem to have gluten. In addition, you mention McCormick in your title. McCormick clearly lists any gluten in its products.

Bloating is not always caused by gluten, there are lots of foods that can cause bloating, especially sugar. Just because you didn't feel bloated the last time you ate cookies doesn't mean you won't ever feel bloated after eating them. There are lots of other factors that go into feeling bloated too, what else you ate today and even yesterday, how much water you've had, etc. I don't think you got glutened by the food dye or sprinkles.

Thanks all. This was bloating due to gluten, I know the difference. My daughter slipped me one bite of her muddy buddy which is rice chex, melted semi choc. morsals and p-nut butter all mixed together. I figured out that one little rice chex I had was contaminated since she used her p-nut butter. :o We learn as we go!

I have the Gluten allergy and I would not eat anything with that many dyes in it.  I try to avoid dyes as much as possible.  Even if they say they are gluten-free, you don't know what other chemicals make them up.

The info on this thread is from 2009.  Some ingredients may have changed during that amount of time.

 

Dyes are not a gluten concern.  You may not want to eat them for other reasons.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      I wanted to say hello, and add that  early in eating gluten free I had  to avoid processed foods due to too many ingredients. I also had additional intolerances that needed time to subside. My team suggested I limit gluten free processed foods, as I was having issues with items with too many ingredients. I see Trents explained some of the culprits when he responded.  I found it helpful to go whole foods  diet. When I need inspiration I found Paleo and AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) recipes helpful to offer variety to my palate.  Often our bodies in the early stages prefer we go whole foods/ minimal processed foods. In turn, I realized I prefer freshly made salad dressing which I still make to this day. My pocketbook also finds making my own has its benefits.    Best wishes.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      As @trents stated the pancreas does not produce lactase enzyme.  Most humans lose the ability to create enough lactase.  Some say milk is only for babies. But, by eating brined fermented foods like dill pickles and sourkraut, the Lactobacillus from these foods set up colonies in your gut and excrete lactase so we can eat dairy.  Most pickles sold in supermarkets are quick pickled, the vinegar gives them the texture and taste, but not the nutritional benefits.  Vinegar's acidity can inhibit or even kill Lactobacillus strains.  They need to be salt fermented.  And antibiotics kill them along with their prescribed target.  I used to make my own.  It takes about 10 days, depending on the sourness and crunchiness you prefer, then store in the fridge.  Bubbies Kosher Dill pickles and Ba-Tampte are the one's my Publix carries in the refrigerate area.  Never both at the same time though.  And there's Katz's Delicatessen in NY will ship.  I loved everything at Katz's. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] Regarding the fats in milk.  Commercial dairies use additives to the feed to increase milk volume and milkfat.  Unfortunately the fat added are the C:16 fats but not the C:18 healthy fats, giving commercial dairies milk an omega 6:3 ratio of 5:1, inflammatory.  Organic milk's (30% pasture fed) ratio is 3:1 and Grassfed milk is 1:1.  Grass fed (pasture fed) milk in my opinion tastes much better, and is less inflammation.  It tastes so good, like the milk the milkman delivered to us in the fifties.  Another case of how overprocessed our food is today.  Even the 0%Fat Grassmilk tastes good. Only Ireland and New Zealand produce mostly pasture fed milk commercially.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.
