Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce

We had barbecued ribs for dinner. I noticed when I was cleaning the kitchen an empty bottle of Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce in the garbage after we bought Sweet Baby Ray's. Here is the list of ingredients: high fructose corn syrup, vinegar, water, concentrated tomato juice (water, tomato paste), modified food starch, salt, contains less than 2% molasses, papricka, spice, mustard flour, caramel color, guar gum, natural flavor, RED 40. I know that Kraft will list wheat, etc. on the label. So I'm hoping this is safe.

If a Kraft product does not list wheat, barley, malt and rye, you're good to go. Ribs sound good!

Kraft Original is gluten-free, and like momma goose said, Kraft will list any gluten on the label. :)

Even though I follow alot of the threads on this forum I still call the companies. Kraft was very good to deal with. They told me they do put a allergy alert on the label if something contains gluten, soy, milk, fish, or nuts (I think that about covers it.) They also sent me a bunch of coupons for the things I inquired about. Might have been because I had a list of items. Hershey's is the same way, although they didn't send coupons (darn it). I make alot of phone calls. If they don't have the phone number listed on the label, check the website of the company and they usually will have phone numbers there. I tell them I have a wheat allergy and I buy their product so I need to know if I need to find another product that does not have gluten in it. They become very helpful when you explain why you need it.

Thank you. The ribs were so good. When I saw the bottle of Kraft in the trash, I did read the ingredients. I just was surprised when we bought the bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's and then he used the Kraft. He will be glad to know that the Original Kraft is safe, it is his favorite.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
