Apple Cider Vingegar

we think my husband and my daughter may have celiac disease so we on following the diet for the summer, to see if it helps, so far is has. I'm happy and sad about that. My question is about apple cider vinegar, is it gluten-free? For a while my husband was consuming this daily because some old man told him that he is never sick and he drinks this daily. He started thinking it was upsetting his stomach, so he quit and i was just wondering if there could have been gluten in there?

Apple cider vinegar is definitely gluten-free. Your husband may have a reaction to it for some other reason. Maybe his bowels can't handle it right now. I can't use it because it is high in salicylates, and I can't tolerate it for that reason. My husband drinks a tablespoonful in a glass of water every day, and it has helped a lot with his allergies, and my one daughter has reported the same thing.

Apple cider vinegar is gluten-free. The only vinegar to avoid is malt vinegar, and some flavored vinegars.

The vinegar could be simply irritating his stomach--I tried it recently because I had read it was helpful for hot flashes. Almost immediately after drinking some (diluted in water), I began to have stomach burning.

I can use it with no problems on a salad, or used in a recipe, but not on it's own.

Apple cider vinegar does have many health benefits. It has to be RAW apple cider vinegar. One tablespoon to 8 oz. of water. I'd bet your hubby was being too heavy handed.
