In the US - Sure.  The regular ones are.  Watch for ones with beer or malt vinegar.  But that plain old yellow stuff is gluten-free.   And a lot of them even say gluten-free on the bottle

I am an odd one. My body does not like a lot of additives and ingredients. I was able to do French's or plochman's in the past. Once I underwent my elimination diet to determine my various food/additives intolerances after my gluten intolerance diagnosis, I began to buy Coleman's or Spicely ground mustard and make it as needed.

If you try that route if you add a bit of  vinegar before the water to thin it lessens the heat/spice. If you just add water to the mustard powder you'll get full force.

Best wishes

Koops is certified gluten free.  French’s found at Walmart says gluten free on the front label. But really no worries on the vinegar.  Distilled vinegar is okay for celiacs like Karen said.  It is the malted vinegar (the kind used for Fish and Chips), that you can not have.

Bottom line.  I have never had a celiac reaction from mustard.  If it makes you feel better, I have healed based on repeat biopsies.  I do have an additional intolerance to garlic which is usually in mustard, but not enough to cause my Rosacea to flare.  

If you are getting GI upset, it might be another ingredient or if you are a newbie, your gut is still healing.  Then avoid mustard for a while.  Stick with simple non-processed foods that are bland (no seasoning except salt).

It is not just mustard..anything with distilled vinegar has the same reaction ..I have read from books on Celiac that vinegar has traces of wheat

I think you are confused.  

All the celiac experts say this:

https://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/is-vinegar-safe-for-those-with-celiac-disease/

https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/is-vinegar-gluten-free/

Please cite the celiac book that says it is not safe.

I think you are the one that is confused. If you go to a celiac forum you will find that quite a few celiacs have trouble with distilled vinegar. I'm guessing you do not have celiac disease so you should not comment on what makes us sick

That’s nice....   she, a long time moderator here,  showed you a reliable source for info on distilled vinegar.  And I, a long time moderator here, on a Celiac forum, tried to tell you that it almost always made of corn in the US.   
 

I find vinegar to be a bit harsh on my stomach some days.( not a Celuac reaction in the small intestine)  Probably from the acidity.  I often use rice vinegar because it’s a bit less acidic

Vinegar is an ingredient in mustards so maybe you can’t eat them?

I do have celiac disease (blood and small intestinal biopsy confirmed).  I have healed based on repeat biopsies, which indicates that I understand the gluten free diet.    I have been managing the diet in my household for 19 years.  I also happen to be a forum moderator, if that lends additional credibility.  ?

Most mustards are safe.  Distilled vinegar is safe.  If you still have doubts, you should consult with a registered dietician as recommended by your Gastroenterologist.

Most celiacs have additional food intolerances or allergies.  It sounds like you have an issue with vinegar (that does not cause an autoimmune celiac reaction).    So, if you want mustard, buy the seed and grind it up or consider a mustard powder.

It's possible to develop reactions to many foods.  Probably because our guts can be irritated for a long time and can confuse foods we eat often with the irritation.  So you might have become sensitive to mustard or vinegar.  Or both for that matter.  Sometimes these additional food intolerances are temporary and sometimes they are permanent.

You can try avoiding the food for 6 months or more and then try a little.  If your body has got past the food intolerance you'll be fine.  If not you may have to write that food off for life.

Sometimes when people's guts are still healing they are sensitive to many different foods.  That can change/improve over time though.

I stick with Kroger Private Selection brand mustard mostly.  But am thinking of trying Plochman's mustard soon.  The Kroger's brand has never been a problem for me.

Just because mustard makes you sick doesn't mean it's because of celiac disease. 

People who have other conditions may react to vinegar, like if you have a stomach ulcer for instance. Not everything you eat that makes your stomach upset is because of celiac disease. 

It's important not to rely on anecdotal evidence and old wive's tales to determine what's safe and what's not. If you research how vinegar is made most of it is made from fermenting rice because it's the cheapest material to make it with. Apple is also used. Malted Vinegars are made from wheat, but all others are celiac safe. Malted vinegars are more expensive to produce so wouldn't be used to make mustard.

Louiel,

I don't know if you are still following this thread or not but here is a article that might help you....vinegar can be a source of Sulfites ( and usually is not required to be disclosed as a source of sulfites) in same products like Mustard and Ketchup etc.....

Here is the orthomolecular article about it....and sulfites can cause similar reactions' causing you to believe it was from gluten instead...

http://www.orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1984/pdf/1984-v13n02-p105.pdf 

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
