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.

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

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
