Heinz Organic Ketchup Has Gluten In It-here I Go Again

I just got off the phone with a representative from Heinz. Very nice man by the way. I was calling to ask him about the Apple Cider Vinegar. He said that yes it contained gluten as well as the organic ketchup. I hadn't planned on asking about the ketchup, I had assumed it was gluten free by looking at the ingredients.

Luckily he mentioned this because I have a bottle of it in my refrigerator and just had some last night! :blink: All I can say is gluten is ELUSIVE. I'm going to start calling on every product now no matter what the ingredients say. By the way, Heinz will send you a list of their certified gluten free products if you call.

Yes, the Apple Cider Vinegar is gluten-free, the Apple Cider *Flavored* Vinegar is not. I've never actually seen the flavored one....

Not to confuse you even more, but the dietician that I just saw on Monday for my son said that the Oragnic Ketchup is okay, that she personally called and spoke with some dietician at Heinz and that the reason they were saying it wasn't gluten-free was b/c of the vinegar in it. Our dietician has been working with the gluten-free diet for 20 years and is very knowledgeable on the topic, so I do trust her. That being said, I just used the plain Heniz Ketchup b/c is cheaper than the organic ;)

I'd agree about the organic being gluten-free. Heinz seems to be legally paranoid about saying distilled vinegar is gluten-free.

We make our own:

1 sm can of gluten-free tomato paste

fill can with water and add to paste

fill can half-way with apple cider vinegar

add sweetner (we use 1/2 teaspoon of agave necter)

salt / pepper to taste - mix well

it's not that hard - my 8yo makes it himself sometimes.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
