Anyone who is from the Cincinnati area knows that when it comes to bbq, Montgomery inn is one of the most popular places to go. Last year they changed their formula to a gluten free version. I've been skeptical for the last year so I emailed them last night. Here is the response:

Thanks for your note.  In the past, we used 2 vinegars that caused our sauce to show a slight level of gluten (5 ppm).  Even though that figure qualified the product to be considered “gluten free”, we wanted to get the level to ZERO.  We have re-engineered the vinegars and we now test each component separately.  Each ingredient tests at 0 PPM.  Therefore, our sauce, when blended, also has a level of 0 PPM.

 

Regarding the line, other items do get produced, but we have to go through a complete, sanitary wash-out prior to our run.  Random batches are sent to an independent, 3rd party lab to verify there is no evidence of any allergens, etc

 

Now before I was diagnosed I loved their sauce and the chance of eating it again is pretty exciting. The only concern I have is "re-engineered" vinegar. This is a great sauce if it tastes the way it used to. Would you guys give it a go given the response?

It does seem odd.  Because the only vinegar that has gluten is malt vinegar.  Also, last I heard, there is no way to test and get "0".  The tests are usually <5 - which is safe for Celiacs.

Imagine they changed out to a apple cider or coconut vinegar instead of a grain based one. Bit odd they claim 0, but if they do it in writing like that they must be pretty darn sure. Do they sell this stuff by the bottle?

Yes they sell it by the bottle and it's the best, if not one of the best bbq sauces out there. Its a big deal up here in Cincinnati area. I think I'll give it a try. You're from Austin right? I was stationed at Ft. Hood for 5 years. Some of the best bbq I ever had was at this little place on the road between Hood and Austin. What's the road, 95? You could take it or pay the tolls on the bypass.

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
