Gulden's Mustard

So, I just ate lunch an hour ago and on my way back to work I started feeling dizzy and nauseaus. The only thing different that I had was Gulden's spicy brown mustard. So, I called to find out if it was indeed gluten-free (i checked the ingredients and it looked fine). The lady said that it is not. That it contains vinegar which is distilled but they cannot guarantee that it is gluten-free. I thought all distilled vinegar was gluten-free???? :( So, now I am sitting here at work and am light headed and have slight vertigo. I have been gluten-free for about 6 months now and it seems to only be getting more and more frustrating to deal with. I am not willing to sit in my house like a hermit and never go out to eat. At this point, if this disease didn't cause infertility, I would probably just give up on it. It just seems impossible to never have an accident. I used to look forward to vacations/going out to dinner. Now I don't look forward to anything. :angry:

If you ate out contamination is the most likely culprit, not distilled vinegar in the msutard.

I didn't eat out. I packed my lunch and put the mustard in my turkey wraps.

That's weird...but I'm not sure it was the mustard either. Are you sure there wasn't something wrong with the turkey, or that you just simply weren't feeling well. I know that when my son doesn't feel well I automatically blame gluten, even when I know he hasn't had any. Sometimes, as the saying goes, a cigar is only a cigar....

No, definitely know it was the mustard. I had been eating that same turkey all week and was fine. I don't eat breakfast so that was the first thing I ate all day and I drank water with it. Then, the only new thing I added was the mustard and I started feeling dizzy right after I finished eating it. So, I would be careful with mustard even though distilled vinegar is supposed to always be gluten-free.

it was the mustard... i have problems with distilled vinegar as well.. watch anything pickled.. i think it's farmans that is okay.. if you like bananna peppers the only brand i've found that is made with out distilled v. is krogers brand, as for mustard say bye bye to french's, the only brand i've found (i LOVe mustard) that doesnt use distilled v. is the safeway brand.

I use Grey Poupon without any problems. I called and was told it is gluten-free. :) It is owned by Kraft so they clearly list any gluten.

This is so confusing re: vinegars! I thought distilled vinegar was safe. I have a list of gluten-free foods, and French's mustard is listed, but Gulden's isn't. I bought Grey Popupon, though.

So, is vinegar good or not?????

The vinegar itself is glutenfree. Some people just have bad reactions to it. My younger sister cannot eat vinegar.

Thank you, Plantime, I was getting confused! I have no reactions to French's mustard ~ also can eat pickles. Would hate to have to give them up!!! :o

I have the same problems with vinegar. I found a brown rice vinegar I am going to try using and see if it causes a reaction. Even apple cider vinegar caused me problems.

It is indeed. Most of the people who participated in this discussion in 2004 are no longer active participants here (the exception is Richard [lovegrov]). Also, ingredient and gluten-free status from 2004 may not be accurate today. Use this information with caution.

At least we know that Magdalena Rose is using the search feature. Too many members don't even bother, IMHO.

Good for you MR! :D

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      My only proof

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
