Gluten-free Food Dyes And Gf Sprinkles?

Hi,

I am making a birthday cake and icing and I am wondering if anyone knows which food dyes are gluten-free? McCormicks has many spices that are gluten-free but I'm not sure about their food dye.

Cake Mate colored frosting (in the plastic tubes) used to be listed in the gluten-free Product Listing Guide as a gluten-free product, but it is not listed in the 2004 Product List Binder. Does anyone know if this product is still gluten-free?

Lastly, Cake Mate sprinkles used to be okay as well. They are also not in the new product list - are these still gluten-free?

I could always call the company, but I keep forgetting until after business hours and I need to make the cake on Friday!

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,

Rachel

diagnosed in Sept. 2003

daughter (age 5) diagnosed Sept. 2003

daughter (age 3) inconclusive testing but gluten-free since Feb. 2004

son (almost age 1!) gluten-free since birth

Rachel-

Cake Mate decorating gels are gluten-free, so are all Decorating Icings and Writing Icings. I am not sure about the sprinkles though. And the McCormick company lists gluten clearly on their products.

Here is another site, this one has much better pricing than the other site. This one will sell you 8 oz for only 1.95, however there is a $20 minimum order before shipping and shipping was around $10. It might be worth it if a few moms went in together on the order.

Never found a food dye of concern, but with McCormick, just read the ingredients.

I usually use Wilton colors (I prefer the gel colors), sprinkles, and sanding sugars. They list gluten in their ingredients and are always very helpful when I call them.

Right now they only offer red sugar sprinkles that are gluten free, but if that is something that can help you, and you want to support the little company over a big one, this company has gluten-free sprinkles: Open Original Shared Link

It's been a while since I've purchased them, but Whole Foods has great gluten-free sprinkles. They come in a box, with tiny packets inside.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
