Gluten Free Sage?

We are very strict on our gluten-free diet but over the winter I kept having a slight problem I never nailed down.

We had a cool weather wise weekend so decided to make stuffed chicken. Woke up last night with stomach pains and cramping.

Had lunch just a while ago and D followed not so long after.

The only thing it can be is the sage. We make our dressing with Energy bread, salt, pepper, celery, onions, and sage. We stuff a fryer chicken with it and cook it in the oven.

We make gravy but we use Argo's Corn starch which we've used plenty of times before. Mashed potatoes which again we have all the time.

The only thing that stands out is the sage. We had dinner at my sisters a few weeks ago and had turkey, we all make the dressing the same way and I did not get sick but different brand of sage which she threw out when the bottle was empty.

So either there is gluten in the chicken or its the Sage. Everything else in this house is 100 percent gluten-free and I never feel one bit off eating at home.

Anyone found one they know to be gluten-free?

I use Morton and Basset but sage should be gluten-free unless it's in a spice mix. Could you have food poisoning? Sorry you're not feeling well :(

I know this is unbelievable but I am highly sensitive to gluten and discovered last spring I was getting gluten from McCormick's ground sage which I had just started putting in chicken. I KNOW my gluten symptoms- took it out and all was well. I now buy all my spices fresh, dry them myself and have not had any trouble with them. It doesn't

take too long and they are oh so fresh!

It could, of course, be something else for you but I've learned "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses"

good luck!

That's so stinky!! I'm really sensitive too so this is good to know- they make a lot of blends (and gravy mixes, right?) so it must be CC.

I've never had a problem with Morton and Basset but I agree, when you can do your own, it's for the best.

I'll try Morton's or Bassets. Its not food poisoning, I know my symptoms.

The brand she had bought had no label, might even have bought it up in Canada since it was partly in French.

Thanks for the info, its one of our favorite dishes because its great for left overs for a few days.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @cvz Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story. It sounds like she is managing multiple complex conditions with great care and diligence. It’s encouraging to hear that she is compliant with her gluten-free diet and that her Addison’s disease symptoms are under control. The addition of electrolytes seems like a thoughtful suggestion, especially given her fluid intake. It’s also reassuring that she hasn’t shown noticeable symptoms from accidental gluten exposure, though it’s understandable how challenging it can be to monitor for such incidents. The unexplained high lipase levels are intriguing—perhaps further investigation or consultation with a specialist could provide more clarity. Wishing you both continued strength and success in managing her health. Please keep us updated on her progress!
