I use Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar. The problem with salad dressings generally is the thickeners used may be wheat based. I know that Vlassic Pickles are safe. A lot of vinegars are safe, but not all--same with pickles. The safest thing to do is to call the companies in question.

I too have questions about vinegars. It seems to be in every thing that I want to buy........As in Kraft products. I would like to know that when I see just "vinegar" that the are gluten free. Isn't most vinegar gluten free?...unless it says malt vinegar?

To my understanding, Paul Newman dressings are safe as well as most Annies Dressing are safe, but please read the lables.

I will contact Newman's, that is the dressing I like anyway.

Is apple cider vinegar ok to use in any recipe calling for vinegar??? Is it too sweet??? I cook and bake a lot and am just starting to experiment with the gluten free stuff.

I know I can do this, It really isn't that different than the diet I have had for the last few years, unknowingly I've been cutting back on gluten all over and never put 2 & 2 together...DUH!!! The hardest thing is finding which mixes will bake with my recipes. Anyway, thanks a lot!!! Jen

Most vinegars are safe except for malt vinegar.

A lot of Kraft dressings are gluten free. Read the label, they are very good at listing the ingredients.

Most pickles are safe, but you have to read labels. Pickles like mustard pickles that are thickened are likely not safe.

Sure you can do it! It just takes time and a little patience ... well, sometimes more than a little patience when you get voice mail while your trying to check on things :lol: But you can do it and feel much healthier in the process :D

Pure vinegars that don't have anything added to them are gluten free, even if derived from wheat, because of the distillation process. Heinz white vinegar is derived from corn anyway, and rice vinegar is derived from rice. Champagne vinegar, wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar are all derived from grapes (but check labeling for added ingredients).

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
