Vinegar Question....

[sweetp]

Does anyone have problems with vinegar ( or distilled vinegar)... i noticed when i eat certain brands of pickles, i get really bloated and sick....

[darlindeb25]

maybe its not the vinegar in the pickles making you sick--i dont have a jar of pickles here to read ingredients on--i do know that some people do have problems with vinegar---apple cider vinegar and distilled white vinegar are ok---no malt vinegars--i would imagine you cant be sure of the type of vinegar they use in the pickles--i do know that vlassic brands are suppose to be gluten-free---deb

Yeah you have to check about vinegar because some contain gluten. I eat vlassic pickles all the time, they are supposed to be gluten free and I have not had a reaction to them. Have you made sure the brands that you are eating are gluten free?

There are a few gluten-free brands that I know of, but this is from last year's list, so you may want to jot down the #s to some of these brands the next time you go shopping and double check with them.

B&G: Pickles and Capers

Bubblies: Bread and Butter Pickle Chips & Kosher Dill

Cains: (All Cuts)Kosher Dill & Sweet Cucumber

Trader Joe's: Half Sour Kosher Dill

and ALL Vlasic Pickles

I've had the Cains recently, and I had no problems.

Make sure there is no hidden glutens in your pickels like "modified food starch" for example. And also check to see if the vinegar has malt in it.

Malt vinegar = barely = gluten =
