Barbour's is one of the spice brands I can get in most stores where I live, and I have a bunch, so I sent them a quick email. This is response I got about all their products, not just spices. Note: These are their products that MAY contain gluten, not the gluten-free ones.

Thank you for your request for information on gluten-free products. In response to

your inquiry, we list below products which we believe may contain gluten from wheat,

rye, barley, oats, malt, hydrolyzed vegetable or plant protein, modified wheat or other

food starch. Please be advised that this list is based upon our best information today.

However, our formulations are occasionally subject to change and we encourage you to

read all labels before using any food product.

The following products may contain gluten:

Barbours Pure Dry Mustard

Barbours Pepper Medley

Barbours Barbecue Spice

Barbours Pickling Spice

Barbours Egg Roll Spice

Barbours Potato Seasoning

Barbours Curry Powder

Barbours East Indian Curry Powder

Acadia Baking Powder

Barbours Montreal Steak Spice

Ryan Duffy Steak Spice

Barbours Five Spice Mix

Barbours Mixed Spice

Pop N Top Popcorn Seasonings

Barbours Seasoned and Unseasoned Meat Tenderizers

Any extract that uses a malt extractive flavour base

Please note that the majority of peanut butter formulas we produce have a stabilizer

which contains cotton seed oil, rapeseed oil and soy oil. It should be noted that

we also produce an all-natural peanut butter that contains just peanuts and no

stabilizer. Also, King Cole and Morse

There it is - the standard CYA statement.

Barbours Pure Dry Mustard

Well, how about that. Mustard is not a source of gluten, but their "Pure" Dry Mustard may contain gluten. I guess it isn't pure after all. I wonder what other misrepresentations are in that message.

Right, so if a label they have has an ingredient that has gluten or 'may contain gluten', I will not buy it. And I will get a new list from them every so often. It's a pain, but there's assurance there. Obviously over time a product can change. This is true for everything ever.

I know what you're getting at, and there is a world of difference in telling me what could contain gluten and saying that a product may change in the future, versus bandying words around trying to get me to feel safe about buying a product, while specfically warning me that that same product may contain gluten.

Most importantly, if I say Barbours cinnamon is gluten free, I am not making a claim that Barbour's themselves hasn't made.

Yep, just like Kraft, Unilever, pharmacutical companies and so on and so on.

Does anyone else think it's ironic and funny that the potato seasoning may contain gluten.

Ok, that might be my twisted sense of humor but yea.... :lol:

Thanks for the updated list :)

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      7yo struggling!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Food Allergies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
