Coffee, Wine, Balsamic Vinegar Processed With Gluten!


Peggy Anne

Recommended Posts

Peggy Anne Newbie

I found out why I react to wines, balsamic vinegars (which are made from wine) and coffee. They are all de-acidified by pouring over gluten and casein proteins! In Europe, they are having the makers of products which use food allergens in their processing to put a notice on those products. Here in the good ol' USA the FDA (which is run by industry personnel) is working for the manufacturer rather than the consumers, is fighting that restriction the same way they outlawed hormone free milk producers from being able to put that on their labels. Folks, we ran a huge petition drive against the FDA to the point it ended up in court and we won. Dairy farmers can now label their hormone free milk as such. The FDA is not our friend. We need to write to every one of our Congressional people to get the same law passed here in the USA.

Also gliaden proteins in rice and other non-gluten seeds and grains may make people react. Grains, according to the book "Dangerous Grains" by Braly and Hoggan (my bible) simply are not primate foods. Fresh veggies, fruits and meats are all digestable for us. But the hard grains are only fully digested by birds and ruminants. When I follow the "Chimpanzee Diet" as my hubby and I call it, I am 100% symptom free.

I am now 51 years old and no longer show signs of type 2 diabetes(was a skinny diabetic since age 15), migraines, MS symptoms(that I had had since college), fibromyalgia, restless leg, mitral valve prolapse.

FREE AT LAST! :D

I believe this came up in another of your posts. Could you please site the source for the information in the first paragraph?

Peggy Anne,

This is the second claim you made regarding this subject. This is absolutely untrue! Can you support this claim with verification?

Hearsay is not acceptable, when you telling people that their wine, vinegar and coffee is contaminated with gluten.

Accurate information on this site is essential.

With all due respect... THIS IS THE MOST REDICULOUS THING I HAVE HEARD !

I've heard and read that there can be casein in wine (and there are milk allergy warning labels on wines in Australia) but I've never heard this about vinegar or coffee. I'm in Europe so I'll check the labels and let you guys know if that part is true.

The only thing European wine makers have to warn about on labels is sulphites as far as I know. There is discussion about requiring them to warn about other allergens but that's not in effect yet I think.

I haven't found much info about using gluten as a fining agent, and I doubt that it would be used much, but casein is used, that's not a myth or anything. That applies to wines, I know nothing about vinegars or coffees. Googling casein fining wine will give lots of links, also to technical articles about wine making.

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
