Is ketchup gluten free?

I did a site search & all I found about it were in recipes. Some specified gluten-free ketchup, others just said ketchup.

I seem to hear conflicting report on the whole viniger thing.

What's a girl to believe?!

Lil

P.S. This is a time sensitive reply, as we are having burgers tonight (with my brand new gluten-free hambuger buns!)

P.P.S. If ketchup/viniger is NOT safe, where do I find gluten-free ketchup?

Trader Joe's organic & Whole Foods "O" or "Organics" brand. They both say white viniger on them though.

I ususally buy organic, but in this case, I could do non-oranic as long as it is gluten-free. I will be stoppibng at Trader Joe's in a bit - if you could recommend a good brand available there, that would make my evening!

I'm not familiar with Trader Joe's brands and I have had problems with Whole Foods Brands so I don't buy them anymore. I use Heinz Ketchup--I know that's safe. However, Heinz Organic Ketchup is NOT gluten-free.

I guess I'll be buying Heinz NON-organic ketchup...

P.S. RANDOM TRIVIA QUESTION: What did the "57" originally refer to? (In the "Heinz 57 Varieties"?)

P.P.S. Thank you...

Update: from Heinz website FAQ:

Where can I find gluten-free products?

Heinz Ketchup and Heinz Organic Ketchup do not contain any gluten (the distilled vinegar used is from corn sources). Also, Wine Vinegar, Distilled White Vinegar and Apple Cider Vinegar are gluten-free. Heinz Hot & Spicy Ketchup Kick'rs is gluten-free as well.

:o Heinz Organic Ketchup is *not* gluten-free? It's what I've been using for the past 2 years or so!

I believe that Heinz has changed their organic ketchup formula since this thread was started more than two years ago. It used to contain gluten, but no longer does, if I understand correctly. I don't use ketchup myself, so I haven't kept track.

Heinz has always been my favorite and is what is in most restaurants. I've never had any reactions to it and often use it with safe mayo (Best Foods) and dill pickles (Clausen's) to make a fast salad dressing ; D

You can look up discussions on vinegar but from what I understand, distilled vinegars are ok as gluten cannot pass through the distillation process. I've also read that according to the FDA if it just says vinegar it is supposed to be apple cider vinegar. I still look everything up online first by googling gluten free and the product name. Sometimes if I'm still unsure I'll call or write to the company.

Thanks. I immediately checked the Heinz website, and they say it is gluten-free there, too. I did a search for ketchup this morning (at this forum) and when I saw the organic ketchup contains gluten, I got a little excited... :huh: I don't eat it very often, maybe 1/2 tsp a couple times a week.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
