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!

      Celiac support is hard to find

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding...

      Forgot to add... Quite a lot of 'tapas' are gluten free. Ones to look for: Tortilla de patata (a thick omelette made with potatoes and onions) should be 'sin gluten', and chorizo cooked in red wine makes a nice dish. Look out for sobrasada, which is very Mallorcan, a softer type of sausage/pate which you can spread on gluten free crispbread which...

      Insomnia help

      Hi @cristiana Thank you so much for your reply. This is so helpful. I definitely suffer from anxiety mostly related to health. Brain fog definelty doesn’t help this when it comes. I find my 4 am wake ups are potentially more food related if that’s a possibility (eating enough carbs with protein and fats) and if I eat a small snack before bed to ...

      Hi Jayne Great choice for a gluten-free cycling holiday, I know the island well. The words you need to look for are 'sin gluten' when you are out and about. I think you will be amazed at how many packets and canned goods are clearly labelled 'sin gluten' in the supermarkets - many more than one sees here - often in quite large type. There seems...

      One thing to keep in mind is that it's pretty safe to take a B-complex since B vitamins are water soluble. You just pee out any excess.

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.

      Forgot to add...  Quite a lot of 'tapas' are gluten free. Ones to look for:  Tortilla de patata (a thick omelette made with potatoes and onions) should be 'sin gluten', and chorizo cooked in red wine makes a nice dish.  Look out for sobrasada, which is very Mallorcan, a softer type of sausage/pate which you can spread on gluten free crispbread which you should be able to buy for supermarkets.  Until very recently we could not buy it here in the UK but we've managed to find a local source, and Lidl have started to sell it in tubs, too. Here's more info on it: Sobrasada is a soft, spreadable, cured pork sausage from Spain's Balearic Islands (like Mallorca), distinguished by its reddish color from paprika, sweet-spicy flavor, and pâté-like texture, perfect for spreading on toast, cooking into dishes like eggs or pasta, or drizzling with honey. Its unique texture comes from the island's humid climate preventing full drying, resulting in a semi-soft sausage that's gently aged, unlike drier mainland chorizo.

      Hi @cristiana   Thank you so much for your reply. This is so helpful. I definitely suffer from anxiety mostly related to health. Brain fog definelty doesn’t help this when it comes. I find my 4 am wake ups are potentially more food related if that’s a possibility (eating enough carbs with protein and fats) and if I eat a small snack before bed to hold throughout the night. I just haven’t been able to help the sudden increase in more days where I can’t fall asleep for hours - it’s those racing thoughts like you describe. I feel like a machine that’s running and can’t shut down.    I will try the epsom salt bath that’s a great suggestion. I think I’m probably working through some other food triggers that may be contributing as well with brain fog.    Anyways sorry to go off. It feels so reassuring finding this community and being able to chat with others. I was definitely feeling a bit crazy until I realized there are many others going through the same thing.

      Hi Jayne Great choice for a gluten-free cycling holiday, I know the island well. The words you need to look for are 'sin gluten' when you are out and about.   I think you will be amazed at how many packets and canned goods are clearly labelled 'sin gluten' in the supermarkets - many more than one sees here - often in quite large type.  There seems to be a thought in the UK that if you label something gluten free it will affect flavour etc and will put people off buying it!  However, in the case of Spain, it is almost as if the the Spanish see it as an endorsement of quality and flavour!  There is a supermarket called Mercadona and they label their produce very clearly. Paella should be gluten free so long as the chef use the right stock such as Knorr or a gluten-free homemade stock - you can check.  Most Mallorquins in catering speak English but if not, ask, "Contiene gluten?"  Tumbet is a wonderful dish if you like peppers, tomato, aubergines, garlic and olive oil!  A sort of variation on ratatouille.   Slow roast lamb shank should be safe, and there are endless fish dishes to choose from and salads.  Flan is made with eggs, sugar and caramel, and should be gluten-free.  Lots of gluten-free ice cream and sorbets, they should be clearly labelled. If you want specific restaurant recommendations, feel free to PM me. Cristiana
