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!) ;)

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. :)

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!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
