Which Seasoning Brand Do You Use?

Hi, we use Lawry's Season Salt. They told us that they "believe" it is gluten-free. I'm not sure, but I think this could be what is secretly glutening my kids and I'd like to make a change to test it.

Can anyone recommend a good, gluten-free seasoning?

Thanks!

I'm afraid of the spice mixes. I buy individual McCormack spices and mix them up according to what I'm making.

I just bought this stuff from my co-op called "Seasoning" made by Lydia's Organics in California. It's weird, but it tastes good. It contains: dehydrated carrots, celery, parsley, sprouted seeds (sunflower, almond, flax) herbs, and himalayan crystal salt. She says it's all organic and all gluten, sugar, and oil free. She also makes cereal and crackers are bars. Mind you, the stuff costs an arm and a leg -- I'm always a sucker for packaging. Anyway, just had it on my salmon burger and it was pretty good. It's 5.79 for a pretty large package (has no amount on it).

website is: www.lydiasorganics.com

I'm not to brand specific when it comes to seasonings but I won't use mixed seasonings and always read ingredients. I'll use straight garlic powder, salt, pepper, ect. But never anything that is a seasoning mix. The only brand I would probably trust if I was going to do that is McCormick.

Hey Molly, you are at it again. You need to take the Barry Bonds thing out below the new avitar. Like the legs. I know they are not real tatoo's - bored were you LOL?

I also buy seasoning blends from The Gluten Free Pantry. I really like them for the appropriate cooking.

I sprinkle Gluten Free Pantry Chicken Flavor Broth Mix on veggies or rice. It gives them a nice flavoring.

I used to use Lawrys Season Salt on EVERYTHING.. It made my daughter sick.

I now use Mrs. Dash (love that stuff), McCormicks Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper. I also have tried Gluten Free Pantrys Taco Seasoning and it was fine.

I pretty much use Mrs. Dash for everything. I do need to find a good chili seasoning. My very favorite was French's Chili-O plus some packets of Taco Bell fire sauce for spice. TB sauce is gluten-free, but French's is definitely not.

I get several of the Gluten Free Pantry spice mixes... I also mostly use Simply Organic spices... and for other things I stick with McCormicks and always read the label because McCormicks will disclose wheat on the label.

Lawry's is different in Canada and the US. If my understanding is correct, the Canadian version is gluten-free, but the US version has barley in the flavors. **Edited: I was wrong. It is gluten-free**

Ingredient lists:

USA: Salt, sugar, spices (including paprika and turmeric), onion, cornstarch, garlic, tricalcium phosphate (prevents caking), paprika oleoresin (for color), natural flavor, soy lecithin.

Canada: Salt, sugar, spices, dehydrated onions and garlic, corn starch, tricalcium phosphate, soybean oil, herbs, soy lecithin and sulphites.

In Canada, call 1-800-565-7273; in the US 1-800-952-9797. The last I knew, the Canadian claim was that it was ok, but it has been quite a while since I checked (a 450g package lasts a long time around here).

I use and sell Epicure Selections, they are only in Canada. Everything they make all dips, seasonings, rubs, extracts, popcorn seasonings,chocolate, coffee toppers etc., are gluten-free except for the Bacon, chives and cheese dip and the sushi kit. I eat them all the time and no problems.

I always use separately purchased spices, though sometimes I mix some myself. My mother never buys spices separately. When I wanted to sprinkle pepper on something at the table, she didn't have any, just lots of bottles of "seasoning blends".

I also buy individual herbs. (I usually purchase Spice Hunter or Simply Organic as well, though I'll get McCormick if I can't get those or dry my own.) I do have premixed blends for chili powder (as that's a blend), curry seasoning (as that's a blend), and garlic salt (for table use).

Yeah, Himalayan pink salt is the same. You'll go broke eating it, but it's yummy and nutritious.

Wow, Peter. Are you sure of this? We'd called them before and they said gluten-free, but hey, something's making my son sick, and if you have inside info, then great...I'll just use something else.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son.  Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia.  An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.   Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps, as well as aggression and irritability, confusion, mood swings and behavior changes.  Thiamine is essential to the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which keep us calm and rational.   @Jsingh, histamine intolerance is also a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is needed to prevent mast cells from releasing histamine at the slightest provocation as is seen in histamine intolerance.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine from the body.  Without sufficient thiamine and other B vitamins to clear it, the histamine builds up.  High histamine levels can change behavior, too.  High histamine levels are found in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause extreme hunger or conversely anorexia.   High carbohydrate meals can precipitate thiamine deficiency because additional thiamine is required to process carbohydrates for the body to use as fuel.  The more carbohydrates one eats daily, the more one needs additional thiamine above the RDA.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Keep in mind that gluten-free processed foods like cookies and such are not required to be fortified and enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  Limit processed gluten-free foods.  They are often full of empty calories and unhealthy saturated fats and additives, and are high in histamine or histamine release triggers.  It's time you bought your own vitamins to supplement what is not being absorbed due to malabsorption of Celiac disease.  Benfotiamine is a form of Thiamine that has been shown to improve intestinal health as well as brain function. Do talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals while your children are growing up gluten free.  Serve nutritionally dense foods.  Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute.
