Okay when I originally wrote this post 5 minutes ago... I erased it... because who I really needed to ask was kraft.... ( my question was does vinegar in cheeses make any one here sick due to possible gluten in the vinegar.... ) I went to the web site and discovered that vinegar can be a no no if the distilling process is gluten ated... ( yes I made up the word) BUt I also thought I was asking a no brainer question but realized I was asking a question some one else may have asked... But any way .. I bought kraft polly o twists ... mozerella and cheddar twists.... and an ingredient is vinegar... kraft says that their vinegar is gluten free... because of ( now I forgot .. at 40 brain cells die while you have thoughts still going... brain cells die... the thought dies right along with it... ) there distillation process.. But has anyone had any issues with cheese... with the wheat. we are fine with dairy and everythign but the wheat. some cheeses have vinegar and others dont. he eats other cheeses and is fine.... I have no intentions of giving it to him if its a problem food... thnaks

If Kraft says it's safe, it's safe. They're one of the few companies that we can actually trust as Celiacs. I eat their cheeses all the time and have never had any problems and I'm pretty sensitive.

We eat Polly-O all the time with no problems. I was assured by Kraft that they are Gluten free!

I think that vinegar is distilled and so it is considered safe. But, people react to vinegar for other reasons not because of gluten.

Vinegar is gluten-free EXCEPT for MALT VINEGAR, which is brewed (not distilled) and still contains barley gluten.

malt is not wheat.

malt is sometimes derived from barley, hence----gluten.

but malt *can* be derived from other things, that are safe, like rice.

The American Dietitic Assocation has stated that any distilled vinegar (including white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, etc) are gluten free. https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-08107447343.d7

As mentioned malt (from barley) is not safe, so malt vinegar is out. Some cheap balsmics are made with caramel that *can* have gluten (but don't always). And some fru-fru vinegars can have things added after distillation so you would want to check the ingredient labels. ALWAYS CHECK THE INGREDIENTS. But most vinegars are not a problem, and "vinegar" listed on an ingredient list on another food just by that word alone, by law, is required to be cider vinegar (in the US).

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever...

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there...

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025
