French's Mustard - Gluten Free?

My recipe for poppyseed dressing calls for French's mustard. Does anyone know if it is gluten-free? I know that Hellman's Dijonnaise is gluten-free, but it doesn't taste good in the dressing.

Hummm, thinking. If French's is a Kraft product, it will clearly list.

I use French's mustard all the time as well.....just a tip for ones using Hellmans Mayo....to make the taste alittle better i add a few drops of lemon juice .... its a really close second to regular mayo....i use this for a dipping sauce for chicken fingers....for added taste you can also add a bit of caynenne pepper a little bit of a kick to it....

MG,

Yes, I agree about adding the lemon juice to add a little zip. My question for s66 (which I think only he/she could really answer), was regarding the "its a really close second to regular mayo" part.

"...just a tip for ones using Hellmans Mayo...to make the taste alittle better i add a few drops of lemon juice...its a really close second to regular mayo...."

What's regular mayo? What's the zippy Hellmans a close second to? I don't care one way or another what it is, I'm just curious about it.

I wasn't trying to start trouble or be critical or anything like that. I've always had an interest in the way people develop preferences as a result of family influences. And then how some stick with it and others change when free of same.

Good example, there seems to be two basic family groups. Mayo families (Hellmans, Kraft, many others, mayonaise), and Salad Dressing (Miracle Whip, many others). Two distinctly different products most often referred to as mayo, although Miracle Whip is not actually technically Mayo. Mayo contains eggs.

Run out of time, late for work. Sorry.

best regards, lm

Regular mayo is raw egg, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt and an emulsifier like mustard optional....

anything else is something close to mayo with additives....

That's so true. You are either a mayo or a Miracle Whip person. LOL

gfp,

I'm going to have to disagree a little here. Regular mayo is somewhat ambiguous, could be whatever anyone thinks it is. "Real" mayo though, is egg, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt and....

p.s., We still need simplicity66 to clear up this mayo mystery!

The recipe given is how you make "real" mayo yourself. I use Hellman's, which I consider real mayo (as compared to Miracle Whip), but even Hellman's has ingredients one wouldn't use in a fresh, homemade mayo. And they do taste different.

This may be an old topic, but it is very new for me. I usually eat Heinz yellow mustard and have not had any

problems with it. I accidentally used Frenchs on my hamburger, and within 1/2 an hour, I started to react.

I have been diagnosed with Celiacs since June 2012 and have been doing great. I started to bloat up, got a headache,

dizzy, very red eyes, red spots on my thighs and severe stomach ache. I have vomited several times, not food,

but maybe blood. I have reacted to other grain alcohols which being distilled, are supposed to be safe.

I have read that Frenches yellow mustard is gluten free to 20 ppm, but the source of the vinegar is ethyl alcohol, which can come from wheat. This is the article I read: Open Original Shared Link

I know I am very sensitive, but has anyone else had issues with Frenchs mustard???

FYI= The product info on this thread is almost 6 years old. Products change in that period of time. Also, there can be differences based on country

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
