I was checking on the internet to find out if Hellmans Mayo is gluten free, for a friend, who I am cooking for.

I arrived at this site. I read a topic - I cant remember who from now - about a lady who said she also had stomach ulcers.

This began to sound familiar, especially when I saw a topic which was talking about bacteria in intestines.

Now please dont think Im being flippant. A few years my dog was extremely ill. His stomach distended and he looked like he was dying. He had bouts of it. The vet couldnt get to the bottom of it. Eventually he sent us to a Consultant Vet, who cost a fortune, but was worth every penny. He diagnosed straight away. He said it was a stomach bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori which is the same bacteria that causes ulcers in human beings. He said he was alarmed to see that our dogs intestines showed as transparent on the x-ray.

Although damage had been done - the good thing was - it was easily cured with a paediatric medicine, taken for two weeks.

You probably know this already, but just in case, it may be worth looking into.

A new bottle or jar would be safe. But if you touched the tip of the bottle to wheat bread or dipped a knife in the jar after it touched wheat bread, it would not be safe.

I can't comment on the rest of the stuff.

hadn't thought of a pet, dogs in particular, as being carries of/for this bacteria. they may well be a cause of infection/reinfection! Just they can be for strep!
Also, many dogs are celiac/gluten intolerant.
