Salad Dressing

Okay so Kraft says any gluten is declared on their label so I bought some ranch and some italian dressing. I am pretty sure these are gluten-free based on reading the label. Anybody else use them and know?

;) this is so hard--isnt it--reading everything we put in our mouth--i dont know about all ofKraft salad dressings--i do know that Miracle Whip Light is a no-no--there are salad dressings called Annie's and they state in the ingredients that they are gluten free--i find them in the speciality diet dept of Kroger--my sister uses Western Fat Free made my Wishbone--she is celiac too and a diatician, i ask her most times if i am in guestion of something and beleive it or not--sometimes something she can eat is something that will bother me--so it's still trial and error--keep your chin up---Deb :D

YES!!! Newman's Own salad dressing ~ Ranch, Creamy Italian (plus many more!)~ are gluten free. If you go to the Newman's Own web site ~ Open Original Shared Link ~ you can print a list of all their products that are gluten free. Their spaghetti sauces are also wonderful. :rolleyes:

If the Kraft dressing ingredients don't say wheat, rye, or barley, it's gluten-free. That's how easy it is.

Read the Miracle Whip Light label before you try it, but I'm just about 100 percnet sure it's gluten-free. Once again, if the ingredients don't include wheat, rye or barley, it's gluten-free.

I am a newly diagnosed Celiac, but have been gruesomely living with this problem for about 4 years now. I absolutely love Miracle Whip Light. To make sure I could eat it, I personally called and talked to a representative of Kraft who informed me that "if Miracle Whip Light had gluten in the ingredients it would be listed" (I specifically asked about the "modified" ingredients and was told they did not contain any wheat/gluten whatsoever). Unfortunately, however today I had some in tuna fish...and I put a good amount of miracle whip light into my tuna and i became very sick. I know that everyone is different and people react differently to certain things but I for one can tell you it must have some in it...however having stated that I am supplying a website for kraft that lists its gluten free foods...if u notice Regular Miracle Whip is listed as gluten free (Miracle Whip Light is not listed)...so Regular may be ok. I hope this helps!

I was always told there was something in the light that changed it so we could not have it, so I never tried it, this was back before the labeling law. I never truly trusted Kraft when they said they could be "totally" trusted anyways!

I can't have soy, so all of the salad dressings are off limits to me, unless they are canola oil based. Hellmann's had a canola oil based mayo that was very good, then they decided to make it Cholesterol Free a few months ago, now they have added soy to it and I can no longer have it either. When they first changed it, I didn't catch the change, the label is so similiar, I didn't even notice it. When I broke out in my "soy/corn rash" I racked my brain trying to figure out where I was getting the soy or corn from. It just happened one day, that I noticed the huge ingredients list on the mayo and realized it was different. Sometimes, and I know it's wrong, I will come to trust a brand, which I did with this mayo--thankfully, I had only had it for maybe 2 weeks when I realized my mistake.

In our house we use Wegmans or Kraft, it depends on what I pick up when I am out.

I don't use commercial salad dressings. Salad dressings are easy to make. Below is the one I make:

2/3 Sunflower Oil (or other oil of your choice)

1/3 Plain Rice Vinegar (or gluten free vinegar of your choice)

Salt. pepper, oregano, and garlic powder to taste.

This dressing is tranportable since it does not need to be kept cold. I take it out to eat and when I travel.

Phyllis thanks for sharing, your salad dressing sounds very good. I might make it later today and use it tomorrow at work.

If you contact Kraft, they will MAIL you a complete list of their products indicating gluten free, lactose free. It's my bible :D Merry Christmas to all.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
