the current theory is that the gluten proteins are too big and are filtered out during the distiallation process. I've used grain based distilled items and haven't had problems. You could always switch to cider vinegar.

Jackie, white vinegar used to be on the no list as a percentage of it is wheat derived. Annette, is correct in her response, yet some celiacs still react to the white vinegar. It is suggested we each do a trial on it and decid for ourselves. I react to white vinegar what a blessing for those whom do not. Health

additionally, most *white vinegar* isn't made from wheat anyway, but corn.

not that some people don't have issues with vinegar itself, of course.

Heinz distilled vinegar is fine as it is derived from corn. It is the only one I use. I am one of those who are sensitive to distilled gluten grains in vinegar and alcohol. I always check it distilled vinegar is listed as an ingredient.

Old thread but I recently started using apple cider vinegar because white vinegar makes me incredibly itchy (mostly on my upper arm area) within seconds upon consuming it. It's impossible to ignore the itching as it occurs immediately so I am absolutely certain that white vinegar is the culprit. Always be your own advocate, even if the label says it's safe.

For instance, I thought I could eat halvah because it was a dessert that supposedly does not contain wheat flour and milk, and because it is the only type of processed dessert I can have as someone that's living with celiac here. How wrong were I. As soon as I eat more than three spoons of it at once, I get the usual pain below my right rib-cage immediately (probably the gallbladder).

Follow the instructions to eating gluten-free but listen to your own body too!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In case your tests turn out negative you may still want to try a gluten-free diet. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Thank you for your answer. Well, I'm going to eat at least 5 slices a day, each of them is 35 grams. I think I'll do blood tests again after four weeks. If the results are negative or not clear, I'll continue the challenge and repeat blood tests again after another four weeks.

      Antibodies went up

      You are correct in looking closer at her diet, as there may still be trace amounts of gluten, even from a gluten-free bakery (are their ingredient suppliers certified gluten-free?). You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      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:

      Ski trip with Celiac son - preparation advice please

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You're doing an amazing job planning ahead for your son's first ski trip with celiac disease! It’s great that the hotel and organization are supportive, which makes a big difference. For dinners, consider simple gluten-free meals like pre-cooked rice or quinoa bowls with a protein (like grilled chicken or turkey slices) and steamed or roasted vegetables. These can be prepped at home, frozen, and reheated safely at the hotel. Gluten-free pasta with a simple tomato or cheese sauce is also a kid-friendly option that travels well. As for snacks, packing things like gluten-free crackers, cheese sticks, fruit, or granola bars will help ensure he has safe options throughout the day. It’s also wise to carry some single-serve condiments or seasonings he likes to make meals more appealing. Regarding accidental gluten intake, reactions vary from person to person. Some children experience immediate symptoms like stomach pain or diarrhea, while others might not react until hours later. It’s a good idea to carry supplies like wet wipes, an extra change of clothes, and medication if prescribed by your doctor. You might also want to brief the ski instructors about his condition and what to look for in case of exposure. With careful planning and preparation, you’ll set him up for a fun and safe experience. Enjoy your trip!
