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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
