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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
