Poll- How Many Do Or Don't Eat Distilled Grain Vinegar


fedora

Recommended Posts

Wondering how many can tolerate grain vinegar. I know some can not tolerate any vinegar, but I am wondering about people who do eat vinegar. I have avoided it, then had some in a spread that was labeled gluten free. I was sick to my stomach a few days later and my belly hurt for a week. It could have been from something else and I have not tried it again yet. Thanks

most "vinegar" in products is apple cider vinegar (unless it says "distilled vinegar" on the ingredient list, rather than "vinegar"). most of the stuff I get, by chance, happens to list vinegar, not distilled vinegar. but I've had both, and haven't experienced a problem. I don't myself generally use distilled vinegar in recipes, because I don't really like it (I've got a bunch of varieties of vinegar at home, but not regular "distilled vinegar" - different balsamics, apple cider, red wine, rice, for example). well, I do use it for cleaning. :) but many varieties (not all, you'd have to call and ask) of "distilled vinegar" are made from corn.

I avoid distilled grain vinegar unless I know for sure that it is derived from a nongluten grain. I also have to avoid gluten grain distilled alcohol. I break out in DH sores and get a gluten effect from them. I am fine with any other form of vinegar. I like to make pickles and I use Heinz distilled (from corn). As mentioned a lot of the distilled is from corn but I do call to make sure with a processed product.

Vinegar, any kind. No problem.

Never think twice about it. As far as I'm concerned, it's gluten-free. It's in my nacho slices, hot sauces, wing sauces, numerous other condiments. I eat nachos (made on Tostidos) every day, and hot wings every other day.

I have tested (with a gluten test kit) every major brand of vinegar, including numerous apple cider vinegars, rice,distilled, balsamic, wine, on and on.......all tested very positive for gluten. The test kit that I use is extremely accurate. I avoid vinegar like the plague as I always reacted. This is why I started testing to find out what was going on. FWIW All the best, Mike

That's an unusual name. What does it mean?

Thanks for the replies.

Mike, I do not like the idea of every vinegar you have tested having gluten in it. The homeopath in my town has been gluten free for 30 years or so and says all vinegars can be cced.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      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.

      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.
