Gellan Gum & New Artisan Cafe Coffee Creamers

Hi there.  I was wondering if anyone has eaten products with gellan gum in them?  I looked it up and it sounds like it would be safe for gluten-free eating?  I try to avoid corn products (including xantham gum) and soy as much as I can (I should probably stop eating that stuff all together), and so I was happy to see the new Artisan Cafe flavored coffee creamers from Coffee Mate don't seem to have any corn or soy ingredients. I just emailed them to double check they are gluten-free, which I am pretty sure they are, but figured I'd better double check since it's a new product.  I was just curious as to how anyone here has reacted to eating items with gellan gum in them?  Did it bother you at all?  It sounds like it'd be a great ingredient to replace xanthan gum and corn starches. It'd be nice to see more companies try using it. But not sure if it bothers anyone with gluten and other food sensitivities?

I got an email reply back and yes, the new Artisan Cafe creamers are gluten free and soy free also. This was their reply:

"We are pleased to let you know that all three of the Coffee-mate® Artisan Cafe Creamer flavors are labeled as Gluten Free.  
We consider "gluten free" to mean that no gluten ingredients are in the product, whether directly added, or potentially present due to cross-contact. In other words, if a product label has an allergen advisory statement, such as "may contain wheat", we do not consider that product to be gluten free. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product.
These also do not contain Soy. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. Again! We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. 
Corn is not in the ingredients list but it could be in the Natural Flavor. The ingredients in Natural Flavors are proprietary. 
There is a money saving coupon link below. Please respond to this email with your postal mailing address and we will mail you coupons also. 
Have a great day!

There was no money-saving link at the bottom of the email that I could find, but apparently if you send them your address they will mail you coupons.

I had a terrible "glutened" reaction to the artisian creamers.  They taste great, but I have felt horrible for the past 2 weeks after consuming the creamer on a daily basis, like I did before I was diagnosed and went off gluten.  They claim to be gluten-free, but they also have "natural flavors" listed which often times can be a hidden source of gluten.  I will not buy these again and have felt so much better since stopping them.  Try at your own risk!

In the US, natural

flavors can not contain gluten unless they list it.

I agree with Karen (she knows her stuff), but why even buy processed junk?  Go for some traditional cream and milk!  It is REAL!

That's true. I just missed some flavored coffees though and thought it'd be nice to find something with some flavor. I have not tried them yet though because I can't find a single store in my town that sells the new Artisan Cafe ones. I did see some made with coconut milk or almond milk that I might try. And these new Artisan Cafe ones seem like they are natural.  Here is the ingredients for the caramel flavor-Cream, Sugar, Milk, Buttermilk, and Less Than 2% of Natural Flavor, Himalayan Pink Salt, Gellan Gum.

So I was curious about the gellan gum.  Maybe that bothers some people?

I do not eat gluten-free. I just happened upon this page when searching gellan gum. With the help of a nutritionist and by eliminating things one-by-one from my diet, it was determined that gellan gum that I was getting in almond milk was causing my past reflux. I am absolutely fine since I've eliminated it. This could be the reason some of you who have tried this coffee creamer do not feel well.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
