Gf And Malt Stuff

[kshine]

Hello All

I'm very new to this gluten-free stuff but am finally feeling well after months of misery (by being diagnosed and going gluten-free.....

Question is related to MALT as in vinegers, and sauces such as A1.

Ihave read and am getting conflicting information about the saftey of foods that contain malt and malt products. Some say avoid all malt prodcuts some say they are OK ie distilled vingers and distilled malt liquors...A1 sauce has malt extract or malt vineger as an ingredient.....Is it gluten-free and is it OK to eat ?

I am scared to be in the same room as Gluten now that I finally feel well

I'm almost afraid to even say the word.

Thank you all

No--malt is bad for celiacs -- it contains gluten

Malt definately is a no-no. Also, although I keep reading that distilled vinigar from grain is okay I ALWAYS have a reaction from distilled vinigar unless it is from corn or grapes. I avoided all condiments for a long time and still use them sparingly. The first few months on a gluten-free diet can be daunting but it gets a bit easier with time. Good luck and welcome to the family.

Malt is definately a no for celiacs

Malt vinegar - bad

Malt liquor - bad

Many people get confused about maltodextrin. It is a different annimal, and not a problem.
