Sorry to be the one to break this to ya, but no, regular HP Sauce is not gluten free. I believe their steak sauce is ok, but the regular brown sauce is a no no. My hubbys favorite.. used to be mine too! lol

Does anybody really know what is gluten free. I just made my girlfriend a steak(with original hp "steak" sauce) and she has stomach pains now. She had a mars bar earlier and found out that its not gluten free either.

she looked over the ingredients in the sauce and found nothing that was supposedly harmful. I feel so bad like I poisoned her or something. We will have to look up everything we eat on the internet from now on, no matter the ingredients

here is the list of ingredients, maybe someone can please tell me what was the harmful one

white vinegar

water

glucose-fructose

blackstrap molasses

tomato pure

dates

modified corn

starch

salt

concentrated orange juice

spices(would be nice if they said what ones)

onions

tamarind extract

concentrated apple juice

garlic

chili peppers

caramel

mustard flour

corn syrup

I googled it, and it said the vinegar is MALT vinegar. That is probably the issue. The Heinz gluten-free list does NOT include HP.

Maybe someone with more info can verify this but as far as I was told that modified corn starch or any other modified starch of anykind is a no no for celiacs. I myself cannot have modified corn starch at all as I react horribly to it.

Corn starch is gluten-free, even if modified. Modified starch has been partially broken down. Nothing has been added. It is true that some people with celiac disease have other food intolerances, and corn can be one of them. But the majority of us tolerate corn, and can safely eat corn starch and modified corn starch.

Thanks Peter. I knew cornstarch itself was okay but had always been told to stay away from the modified. Like you said though, some people have different tolerences then others.

Caramel color is one of those celiac urban myths that just won't go away.

Here is Shelley Case's take on it, from Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resource Guide:

Although gluten-containing ingredients (barley malt syrup and starch hydrolysates) can be used in the production of caramel color, North American companies use corn as it has a longer shelf life and makes a superior product. European companies use glucose derived from wheat starch, however caramel color is highly processed and contains no gluten.

Well this is a depressing day for me. Ah the search for a steak sauce, ketchup replacement, and is back on...

I would love if it was gluten-free. My husband is from England so this was a staple in our house, especially the Fruity one, that was my favorite. I must have read somewhere that it was not gluten-free, because I banished it from the house, but I really wish it was safe!

The Heinz website now has an extensive list of their products that are gluten free. It can be found at Open Original Shared Link For those of us who live in Canada - the HP Sauce Original, HP Sauce Bold and HP Sauce Chicken and Rib are gluten free.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
