I just went crazy trying to figure out the "Is 5th Season spice gluten free?" question.  From what I can tell 5th Season was or is made by Han-Dee Pak which is owned by McCormick. (Acquired in 1979 per Wikipedia.)  See Open Original Shared Link

 

McCormick claims they list every ingredient on their product labels, so if wheat, barley, rye etc. isn't listed, it's not in there and the spice can be assumed to be gluten free.  See Open Original Shared Link

 

Evidently 5th Season is "older" McCormick spice that is packaged under the 5th Season Brand because the flavor is not strong enough to be labeled "McCormick." See Open Original Shared Link

Great info, di, thanks :)  A lot of spice companies do have their regular brand, a premium line, and then a lower line.  Makes sense to me.

The Spice Agent is a small company located in Branson, MO.  I order all my spices from them.  All spices are ground on site in small amounts to keep them fresh.  Chris, the owner, has assured me that his spices are pure and gluten free, EXCEPT for some of the spice blends.  Chris will be more than happy to share info with you on which blends contain gluten.  He recently made a gluten free taco spice mix for me.  I wanted a spice mix similar to the dry mix envelopes of taco seasoning.

Does the spice agent process their gluten-free spices in the same area and on the same equipment as the gluten containing blends?  That is really important to know.

The Spice Agent doesn't mix the blends himself.  The only blends he makes himself are ones that are specifically requested by a customer, such as my taco seasoning.

      Chances of being coeliac

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
