Gulden's Mustard

[jaimek]

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.

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!!!

[kabowman]

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!
