I'm suspecting that we may be getting some cross contamination with our spices. Are Kroger brand spices ok? Specifically, is their chili powder safe? If not what is a recommendation for safe spices? Thanks!!

I am not sure about the Kroger Brand items. Although I did at one point find a list of their products that are gluten free. I will look for the link again and post it. I personally wouldn't trust chili powder though because it is a spice mix, and that is usually where you get into trouble. If you have a whole foods near you, their chili powder is okay.

As for spices, McCormick's single spice items are gluten free. And pretty much all Penzey's spices are gluten free ecept their Bouillon spices.

Kroger s[ices are fine. I use their chili powder. As with other stuff in the U.S., any wheat would by law HAVE to be listed. The reality is that even with spice mixes, very, very few contain wheat.

Thank you! I've found Kroger to be pretty good about their allergy labeling. Usually if it was processed on a line that also processes other allergens they list it. I was a little leary of their chili powder though. My girls seemed to react to the chili I made but I think it was the beans rather than the powder. I think we're going to forgo the spices for a little while just to be on the safe side. I've heard mixed reviews on McCormick spices. They say no gluten is added to their single spices but they process them in the same area as their gluten containing stuff, I'm leary of CC with them. Thanks for the recommendations! I will check out the wholefoods chili powder and the penzey spices.

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

      I can't eat DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, because of being dairy intolerant, but I can have cheddar and mozzarella cheese.  I did the EVERLYWELL test to help eliminate foods that I can and can't have.  I but the CAULIPOWER crust at and use plain tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Quite often I top it with shrimp.  Good Luck                    i

      It can be almost anything for the individual but I would suggest getting in the habit of reading labels to see if there are patterns. The form of magnesium is very important. Go for magnesium glycinate. A lot of over the counter stuff puts the emphasis on shelf-life as opposed to bio-availability. Magnesium glycinate is very bioavailable, very absorbable and isn't likely to have a laxative effect like some of the high shelf-life stuff which isn't absorbed well and draws water into the colon. Oats and dairy also cause effects a lot like being glutened for many celiacs.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hi everyone,  I don’t mean to use you all as my personal dumping ground, but the support I’ve seen on this forum is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.    So, my mother and I have always had a rocky relationship, but when I got diagnosed w celiacs, I thought we were now on the same team together. She started off saying things like “ We’re gonna figure this out together” or “I will always make sure you never have to worry about food with me” to telling my siblings that I’m not grateful enough and I don’t have a right to be upset when I get glutened bc I do so “purposefully”…   .. so I’m brand new to celiac and just learned I can’t just trust gluten-free labels unless it’s certified. I’ve been trying my best, and thanking everyone for being accommodating and trying to make things as painless as possible, so I just don’t understand. Should I be bending over backwards for people who accommodate me? Or just general gratefulness?    This whole diagnosis has further ostracized me from my family and friends, and it’s really hard not to feel completely alone. I seriously appreciate any advice you have to share!

      @trents i am only taking collagen powder and Vitamin D, but I can definitely look into Magnesium, thank you!    @Scott Adams  thank you so much for your input! I will watch closer to how I’m reacting to xanthan/guar gum from now on. Are there any other common ingredients to be on the look out for?

      @trents thank you so much for your response!  When i was diagnosed, I was exhibiting mainly joint pain, hair loss, bloating, and allodynia (painful feeling from non painful stimuli). The muscle spasms only started after diagnosis, and it seems to only happen when I am severely glutened. It’s only happened twice, but it definitely makes me nervous when it happens.    In regard to the pizza, thats what i saw after i got sick from it. I’m still trying to figure out how to switch to ALL certified gluten-free goods.    for the dressing, here is the ingredient list:  WATER, VEGETABLE OIL, VINEGAR, SUGAR, GARLIC, SALT, RED BELL PEPPER, ONION, CONCENTRATED LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HERBS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, MONOACETIN, SPICES. and the link: https://www.kraftheinz.com/en-CA/kraft/products/00068100903577-zesty-italian-salad-dressing
