Hello. I'm making gluten free cookies for my friend's lacrosse team where at least two girls have gluten allergies. I have Stop n Shop brand canola oil which says it may contain wheat. It is related to food product isa and I have to know if it is safe to use. Thank you.

if it says it may contain wheat, then your finished product may contain wheat.  even a little bit will make a celiac sick.

To follow that up - please be careful of your cookie sheets, mixer, etc.  Use parchment paper on the cookie sheets, make sure the mixer is extremely clean, don't use your sugar if you may have used a measuring cup in flour first at some point, etc.

 

To be honest, I don't eat foods made by someone I don't know well.  I think it is nice that you want to try to make gluten-free cookies.  You need to be very careful of any accidental gluten.

Unfortunately you will have to get another brand of canola oil.  However, before you put more money into what you are doing, like Karen said, the girls still may not be able to eat them if they are made in your kitchen and on/with implements that have already come into contact with gluten.  If you have a gluten free bakery in your local area, you may be able to pick them up something there.  If you get them each a fancy cupcake and everyone else gets a smaller cookie they won't feel bad, and that way you can guarantee it is safe for them to eat.  Some grocery stores also have gluten-free baked goods in the frozen section- you can see if they have anything and then also buy the gluten filled counterpart for the rest of the team so they aren't having anything incredibly different.

 

If you know the girls well enough, it is also fun to have a baking party, but do it at their house where everything is gluten-free and they can know it is safe.  Feel free to ask us any more questions! :)  I think it is great you are trying to include everyone.

I don't eat foods I don't prepare, only for reasons stated up above. I know your heart is in the right place, but if they are Celiac they may not eat them. They don't know if they will be CC'd .

      Celiac pain relief

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hope you're feeling better.   I use a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine (Vitamins B 1, B12, and B6) for pain relief.  Together these vitamins together have pain killing effects (analgesic).  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete any excess.  They are safe to take.   Hope this helps.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      I did some research on what exactly is gluten . . . what defines it.  "The term gluten usually refers to the elastic network of a wheat grain's proteins, gliadin and glutenin primarily . . . " "The types of grains that contain gluten include all species of wheat (common wheat, durum, spelt, khorasan, emmer and einkorn), and barley, rye, and some cultivars of oat" (emphasis mine) "The storage proteins in other grains, such as maize (zeins) and rice (rice protein), are sometimes called gluten, but they do not cause harmful effects in people with celiac disease." (emphasis mine) From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten What I found most interesting is that some cultivars of oats contain gluten. Could this explain, in part at least, the controversy surrounding oats? I mean, depending on the source, it could indeed sometimes include gluten and cause a celiac reaction.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your point about the limitations of current testing is valid, but the idea of "molecular mimicry" with rice and corn glutens is less clear. While corn contains zein, which can trigger reactions in some celiac patients, rice is generally considered safe and lacks proteins structurally similar to gluten. The term "molecular mimicry" is often overused and not well-supported in the context of all grains. While your experience with corn is noteworthy, extending this to all grains, including rice, may not be scientifically justified. Testing and research should indeed improve, but claims about all grains causing similar reactions need more evidence.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      I think Scott speaks truth. And I think there is more to this than the prospect of her having celiac disease. If it wasn't this issue, I'm betting it would be another.

      So one does need a specific inherited gene in order to develop celiac disease, so in some way I suppose anyone with celiac disease could take the negative approach of blaming their parents for getting it, however, it also takes some other environmental trigger, such as a specific virus or other factor, and this part is not necessarily caused by the parents. Around 40% of people have the genes to get celiac disease, but only around 1% actually get it.  In any case, we could all go through life complaining about all sorts of different wrongs supposedly caused by our parents, however, it's probably a lot more healthy for everyone to try to deal with life in a more positive way and instead move forward. For most people it's probably far more important to maintain positive family relationships in life than it is to try to attach blame to family members for getting any disease.
