Hi Taz--Yes, you do need to stay away from malt. Malt vinegar is a definate no-no! It's most often made from barley, so we can't use it.

-Although you can use the clear vinegar which is distilled. :)

Yep----absolutely! I think that is harder for me then the rest! I love malt and it's in most rice cereals and nearly every thing I really liked before! But I would rather stay away from malt then stay sick!

Good Luck!

Yikes--malt has gluten, yes. So your diet is not gluten-free right now. Get rid of that malt vinegar asap!

malt is made from barley, hence it has gluten in it. you must eliminate it from your diet in order to be gluten free. glucose and fructose are fine, however, with respect to being gluten free (they are both sugars).

Balsamic vinegar is gluten-free and so is distilled vinegar. Malt vinegar is not.

Mini-lecture -- If you are going to stay gluten-free, you cannot simply try things without checking them and you can't let friends "make" you try stuff. Odds are high that the two items you named are gluten-free, but you can't just eat things with your fingers crossed.

most things (at least that I've ever seen, though I live in the US) that are picked are picked in distilled vinegar, not malt. most balsamic vinegars are gluten-free (though you have to check ingredients on the cheap ones with additives).

as richard said, no guess work. you wouldn't 'just try things' that a friend who played with poisonous chemicals willy-nilly handed you. same thing here.

Seems like this is actually going to be a starting fresh point for you... So try the mantra--when in doubt, leave it out! If you aren't 100% sure its gluten-free, then don't even try it....

I was fooled about it at first and was told it was ok but it's not....so just eliminate it now.

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
