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.

      This is why Daura Damm can be a sponsor here--at 3ppm or less it is gluten-free, and it's doubtful that anyone with celiac disease would ever have issues with such levels. Some people may be reacting to the yeast in the beer, but I seriously doubt that such beers could trigger elevated antibodies or villi damage--the science says such levels won't trigger celiac disease issues.

      I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, not a parasite infection. Regarding your Celiac disease, the reaction you describe, while real to you, does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis; a delayed reaction is common with various digestive issues, and a definitive diagnosis typically requires specific blood tests and an intestinal biopsy, not just a provider's acceptance of symptoms. Furthermore, your mention of approaching mayors seems to misunderstand the role of local government versus federal policy; the deduction for gluten-free food is a federal tax law, and a mayor has no jurisdiction to implement widespread Celiac screening, which is a medical and public health decision far beyond a municipal leader's purview. It sounds like you are navigating a difficult health journey, but I would strongly advise consulting with qualified medical specialists and registered dietitians over relying on unverified online cleansing programs.

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
