Ketchup And Vanilla

I was at Border's Bookstore today, reading through their (pitiful) selection of books about gluten intolerance and gluten-free cookbooks (which, by the way, are in the ALLERGY section :blink: ). One of the books (sorry, can't remember which one) listed ketchup and vanilla on their list of items with hidden gluten.

I looked at my ketchup bottle when I got home, but didn't see anything I recognized as a gluten source. With vanilla extract, would the alchohol be a problem?

Can anybody shed some light on this? Sorry if I'm being ignorant here.... :unsure:

This is a cookbook with old info, probably written several years ago. We used to be warned about vanilla because of the distilled alcohol used in extraction, but we now know it is not a threat. Same thing with ketchup using distilled vinegar.

There is one common brand of kepchup that is *not* gluten-free--Heinz Organic. Their regular ketchup is fine.

Although I know I'm not supposed to I react to grain alcohols and vinagers. McCormick Vanilla is made with alcohol that is derived from corn and the Heinz Company has ketchup that has corn vinager also. I stick with them.

Hey richard,

Just to clarify, anything that contains vanilla in their listing would be gluten free? (as in ice-creams, candies and choc). I know that almost all vinegar is gluten free, unless malt vinegar is listed.

A father's day wish from me to you. I know that you had everyone in your heart with you that day and always.

Hi Lisa,

I've never found or heard of a vanilla with gluten. I think pretty much everybody agrees now that vanilla in a product is not a concern by itself.

Thanks for the good wishes. Father's Day was hard. I stayed as cheerul as I could for my son's sake and of course it was good to have him around.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
