My husband was recently diagnosed. For the holidays, I wanted to cook a cake for him, but the recipes say use gluten free vanilla extract. Does anyone know where to find any or what can be a susbstitute?

I also have been informed that the worry about Vanilla, is no longer an issue. The alcohol in vanillia is distilled and therefore, a non issue.

As Lisa says, there is not a problem with vanilla. It was once thought that the alcohol used to make the extract might be a gluten source, but we now know that to be false. No worries!

We love McCormick's in our house....

(Many of their seaoning mixes are gluten free, too, by the way! They clearly list any offending ingredients, so if you read carefully, you will learn that many are safe! I have used their taco, enchilada, fajita, etc.)

Yes, I know that was off topic, I apologize. But, just wanted to add :P

I still think that this "Vanilla Extract" has gluten in it stems from the "Madagascar Bourbon" name... I think a few people read the Bourbon and thought it was the alcohol that was being used and not the place it came from.

Someone I know came back from a trip outside of the US with a bottle of pure vanilla. I know there's alcohol in it (I could understand that much of the label whihc is not in English). Any concerns with this pure vanilla?

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thank you! This is helpful and validating, which is nice.  I am so tired of gastrointestinal issues and feeling poorly. Obviously my immune system is freaking out and seeing gluten as a foreign invader… and I feel like I’m just trying to doctor myself all the time but I did wonder if it was all indicative of pre celiac or something like that.  I haven’t gotten straightened out mentally or physically since the 8 week gluten challenge. My stomach is a mess and I’m over it

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Hi! Thank you, this is the most validating information I have had shared with me. I wondered if all this was indicative of pre-celiac or just celiac that hasn’t caused damage. It’s been a long road with all this and I am burnt out on dealing with it all. And I am beyond tired of gastrointestinal issues and feeling poorly. I have had major improvements on a gluten free diet in the past and the antibodies decrease as well. Around the area where I live they don’t diagnose celiac without a positive biopsy. I asked my doc why I would have antibodies if it’s not celiac and he didn’t really have an Answer for that, which was frustrating. They only test for 2 genes, the most common I think. Aren’t there more than just 2?

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By jamiet06 · Posted

      Thank you for your replies. I requested my endoscopy results from May 2024 to see if this was the same. In that report, it states everything is normal. So my thinking is no celiacs. My GP recently told me he thinks I have IBS. Is it a concern that I had the lymphocytosis 5 years ago and then nothing last year? I am concerned my doctors don't make any of this clear, making us all resort to seeking the assistance of a great community such as this. Thanks again

      Baking cooking keeping costs down?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Xanthan gum is added into the the flour mix--1 teaspoon per 2 cups for binding, but some people avoid it because it can cause gastro issues--if you're avoiding it, try 1 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds soaked in 3 tbsp water per cup of flour as a substitute (works well in no-bake recipes).
