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

[fedora]

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.
