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.

I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
