i have noticed vanillin being on some gluten-free lists but i have also seen it on NOT safe lists. hershey's syrup is on the gluten free list and does have vanillin so i'm thinking it may be ok? i love chocholate and a lot of it has vanillin so i really need to find out for sure if it is gluten-free.

Vanillin is a by-product of the paper making industry. Yes, that's right, paper. Pretty wierd, huh? They used to just dump it until they noticed it had a negative effect on the ecology, and then someone brilliant found that by tweaking it slightly chemically it could be made into a valuable commodity. Vanillin occurs naturally in vanilla and is the most notable flavor of over 400 that comprise the vanilla profile. Pure vanillin should be gluten free, but if it is in an alcohol solution there is a chance that it is a grain alcohol which could theoretically have gluten in it. The chances are slim, and if there was any it would be a very small amount, but when in doubt it is probably best to contact the manufacturer.

Never found vanillin with gluten. I'ts not an ingredient I question any more. Hershey clearly lists gluten in the ingredients.

The Hershey's syrup is fine and vanillin is fine.....

This site Open Original Shared Link says that vanillin *could* contain gluten if it's made from a grain-based alcohol. Is this like all grain-based alcohols; if it's distilled it's most likely ok, but very, very sensitive celiacs may react?

It's gluten-free.

This list has tons and tons of old information. For instance (just one), tuna with vegetable broth is without exception all gluten-free. Never found one that isn't. It's simply made from vegetables (and sometimes rosemary).

Vanillin is unquestionably gluten-free.

      Vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the severity of sciatica, with low levels potentially leading to increased pain sensitivity and inflammation. Adequate vitamin D levels may help reduce inflammation and improve nerve function, potentially easing pain associated with sciatica.  Also work on choosing food with low omega 6.  Omega 6 is inflammatory, omega 3 is healing.  The average American conusumes a diet with omega 6:3 ratio of 14:1.  Wheat flour ratio is 22:1. Iodine deficiency leads, among other things, weakened muscles.  Increasing your iodine intake to 600 mcg a day with Liquid Iodine will improve muscle tone.  Start with 1 drop a day (50 mcg).  The minimum intake RDA is 150 mcg.  The Tolerable safe upper limit is 1000 mcg.  Studies estimate the average daily intake of iodine per person in Japan to be more in the range of 1 to 5 mg/day.  In the US the population intake of Iodine has dropped 50% since 1970 and obesity has increased from 15% to 50%.   Are they connected?  Other common symptoms include fatigue, unexplained weight gain, constipation, dry skin, sensitivity to cold, and memory problems.

      The only vitamin supplement is vitamin d , I do eat some processed gluten foods yes , I'm new to all this change over , I have purchased a gluten free cookbook which I am currently learning ,so but the looks from wat you have shared with me I'm on the right path , thankyou for the pain information also I will give that a try  too seems very promising 🤗 congratulations on your degree 💯 I admire the time you have taken to do that ,and to help others with it too very noble, I Also believe Wen the right information is needed it will come if you ask🙏 I asked here it comes👍

      Oh wow thankyou so much  for this information that's is very eye opening , you see I always say talk to the ones who have experienced ,  my analogy was always you can never feel the pain of a broken leg untill you have one, I'm so glad you reached out to me and will definitely look into all this advice ,  the docters don't listen one said to me have you been googling symptoms lol, nope there real I'm real and I'm suffering ! I've been on vitamin supplements on and off threw blood tests for over 15 years, yet they didn't question why it was always like that ? I do believe also that the deficiency needs looking at because I have frequent diarrhea and wat I'm loosing I'm probably not getting back, hence the symptoms your right are being caused and I'm feeling poorly threw it ,so thankyou again for this advice , I can't express in words how much I appreciate it , I have just developed a huge white patch on my neck also , she has given me nizorol shampoo to wash it and antifungal tablets , I've already tried the cream didn't work it's not itchy not red just a large skin depigmentation , I have olive skin so it stands out but that's just occured in the last few months too, and she said it could take two years to come back 🤷

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.
