Gluten And Dairy Free Plum Sauce

Does anyone know of a safe plum sauce? I know that the Thai Kitchen's plum sauce is gluten and dairy free, but I would have to order it online. I would rather just buy a sauce at the grocery store if there was a safe brand there.

VH Plum Sauce. We use this. It's more for dipping, but it's available everywhere. (Only in Canada, eh? Pity.)

Oops. Edited to say that I don't know if it's Dairy free, but it's Gluten free. It's manufactured by ConAgra. I couldn't find an ingredient list on the website, and I'm at work, so I can't check my bottle.

It is dairy free also. I use the VH sauces.

Thanks! That's great! :) I should have thought about VH, I guess I forgot that they made a plum sauce.

I wanted to know what other VH sauces were gluten-free so I emailed VH about an hour ago and this was their response. Very quick!

My e-mail:

I have celiac disease and a wheat allergy and I can get severe reactions

from very small amounts of gluten (wheat, barley, rye, or oats) and

wheat . I have used your VH soy sauces with no problems, but I was

wondering if you had a list of other sauces that are gluten free as

well. Also, if any sauces are gluten free, are they produced on the same

lines as gluten containing sauces? Thank you for your time.

Their e-mail:

Thank you for contacting ConAgra Foods Canada Inc., with your questions.

ConAgra Foods Canada, Inc., has adapted a labeling policy to ensure

individuals with allergen concerns can choose our products with

confidence. If gluten containing ingredients are present in any of our

products it is indicated independently in the list of ingredients. In

addition, a secondary note in bold caption is below the ingredient list,

stating what the allergen is, i.e. CONTAINS: WHEAT

At this time our gluten free products include: VH Dips and Sauces

EXCEPT Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce; Hunts' Puddings, Tomatoes, Pastes, Pasta

Sauces, including Healthy Choice and Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce; Orville

Redenbacher Popcorn; ACT II Microwave Popcorn and PAM No Stick Cooking

Spray EXCEPT PAM for Baking.

NOTE: Re-formulation may occur possibly changing the information,

therefore we strongly suggest the ingredient label be reviewed with each

purchase.

We hope this information has been helpful for you and appreciate your

dedication to our products.

Sincerely,

I forgot to ask them about dairy. Ah well, dairy is usually quite noticeable in ingrendient lists.

Thanks for the post on this. I love it when I can add things to my grocery list that are safe.

I don't know if I am reading this right but I am reading it as Act II popcorn and Hunt's Tomato sauce and paste have gluten in them.

I thought that at first too, but I think that it's just the Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce that contains gluten. I think that the sentance is just confusing, they should have started a new sentance. I've had the hunt's tomatoe sauce recently and didn't notice a reaction.

Carrie's right. All sauces gluten free EXCEPT Teriyaki. Then it goes on to the next item. Pam is gluten-free EXCEPT the kind that says "with flour" or "with wheat" or something like that in the title of the product. ConAgra is a company that will always put in bold: Contains: Soy, or Contains: Wheat, Contains: place top 8 allergen here. They just have a poor layout on their gluten-free list. I got mine by snail mail and it's all jumbled together. I had to input it into the computer by hand and lay it all out neatly for our binder.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. 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/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
