Hi folks!

I'm new here, this is my first post! I'll also add I'm extremely new to celiac/gluten free. My son has autism, and I have to say if I had not started researching some of the biomedical aspects of autism, I would have never figured out our gluten intolerances! Anyway, I have been searching around the forum for a day or two and have founds TONS of great recipes and ideas! Thanks! :) However, I have not ran across any salad dressing recipes or tangy BBQ sauce recipes. I realize I have probably not dug far enough or looked in the right spots, but would love if someone could clue me into a few. My son and I are/were addicted to Carolina Treat BBQ sauce (I think its a NC sauce), and it is a spicy type of sauce. All I have ran across in other places are sweet style sauces. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Annie's makes a great Chipotle BBQ sauce (gluten-free). it's super spicy. Too spicy even for me (and that's saying something!) I usually buy the Chipotle BBQ sauce, and either their regular or Honey Maple and mix them together.

I don't know what stores are near you, but here is a link to Whole Foods locations in NC Open Original Shared Link

I get my Annie's BBQ sauce there. If your local Whole Foods doesn't have it, you could request it. If you don't live near a Whole Foods, try asking your local health foods store to carry it.

P.S. Welcome to the board Wendy! Good for you for figuring out the Autisim/Gluten Intollerance link - you're a good mom!

I live in a small town, and the Whole Foods Market is about 3 hours away! :) I LOVE that store though, so I try to go there about once a month. Our local Food Lion carries Annie's salad dressings, so I will have to request the BBQ sauce.

Thanks for the advice and the compliment! I have found alot of great info on this board and look forward to being an active member! (not sure if I'm doing this reply correctly, but I'll figure it out!) ;)

I like Kraft BBQ sauces!

Are all the Kraft sauces gluten-free? I'll have to try them.

Thanks!

Newman's Own has a bunch of gluten free salad dressings, pasta sauces, etc...just check the FAQ on their website. I'm in love with the Parmasean and Roasted Garlic dressing. Yum!

My son loves Sweet Baby Ray's and he mixes in Texas Pete for a kick. He loves spicy foods. These are both gluten free last I checked. You could make a good homemade sauce with some ketchup, worcestershire, liquid smoke, brown sugar and pepper-I do this alot- I just use a little liquid smoke -like 1/2 tsp and (never really measure, but am estimating here) a T. or so of worcestershire , 1/2 c. of b. sugar, 1 c. ketchup and lots of pepper. Adjust this for your taste. It is pretty good on shredded meats like chicken or beef. Happy cooking and take care. :)

I am in Havelock (Eastern NC). The Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station is basically in

my back yard! Not military though :)

That sounds good! Our grocery store carries some of the Newman's products, so I'll check them out!

Thanks

I've never heard of Sweet Baby Rays. Do they have a website? Thanks for the recipe!

Not sure about the website, probably, though. I think it is in most of the stores that carry Kraft and others. It is really good and last I checked was still gluten free. :) I am in Va, so they probably have it in NC, too.

Hi Wendy,

I highly recommend you try Wild Thymes products, www.wildthymes.com. They are also available at Whole Foods and Wild Oats nationwide. All but 4 of their products are gluten free. I think you will really enjoy their dressings and dipping sauces.

We use Sweet Baby Rays. It's spicy, but it's also sweet. Perhaps it may be too sweet for you.

I hope I'm not sticking my nose into your business, and if this offends you, please accept my apology ahead of time... Have you also eliminated casein (milk) from your son's diet? I know there has been extensive research on gluten and casein free diets used as treatment for autism. I don't personally have any experience with the diet, but I have known of two PDD children and one autistic boy who had MASSIVE progress gains when both gluten and casein were eliminated from their diets. I used to work in a special education classroom with preschoolers at the Easter Seals foundation. You can find more information on this at Open Original Shared Link as well as many other websites.

Hats off to you for figuring out that gluten may be part of your sons problem.

Hi and welcome.

I was gonna say, I also love Sweet Baby Ray's, but not sure if it will be spicy enough for you.

Here's the website:

I'm not a huge help on dressings, but the Parmesan Garlic, Newman's Own one that someone suggested sounds great. Think I'll give that a try. LOL!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies. She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses. She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid. The test was a failure. The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies...

Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run...

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.

      Positive biopsy

      By pothosqueen · Posted

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?
