Worcestershire Sauce

I tried this gluten-free worcestershire sauce today. It's gluten-free and vegan too. I think its a good sub.

My oldest dd was asking for chex party mix but my youngest is vegan so I tried something new. BTW, Kix works great to sub pretzels or rice crackers.

Here is another but I haven't tried it:

It might taste more original b/c it has molasses and cloves.

Happy crunching! :P

edit: I use BRAGG'S LIQUID AMINOS for the soy sauce and it's gluten-free.

soy sauce is -not- necessarily gluten free -- please be careful with that Worcestershire recipe!

oops....sorry, I am so used to using Bragg's liquid aminos(gluten-free) that I don't even think of buying a gluten-free soy sauce. :ph34r:

Oh Wonka, say it isn't so!!!!!! :o:(

I wanted to add a bit of kick to one of the meals I have usually used Braggs in. I went to the Lea & Perrins web site and they very clearly stated it was gluten-free. Do you mean to tell me they formulate it different her in Canada & don't direct us to the proper info?

Boy am I going to have a major conversation with their answer desk tomorrow.

Now I have 60 shepherds pie meals that I have to retract the gluten-free status on. :angry:

sure glad I saw this before I accidently put them in the hands of someone who has a gluten problem

Lea & Perrins is only gluten-free in the US. I believe they use malt vinegar outside the US.

Frustrating, isn't it ? I think the Canadian M&M candies are screwed up, too, but the American ones are okay, so far.

Sorry doodle, it is so Open Original Shared Link click on ingedients at the bottom and you'll see the first ingredient is malt vinegar (from barley).

I have found a gluten free Worcestershire sauce recently, actually two. Heinz has a gluten free version (they funnily also do Lea and Perrins), I contacted them to confirm this, and the other one I found is The Wizard's organic wheat-free vegan Worcestershire sauce www.edwardandsons.com

what a shame! it's so easy to avoid an ingredient in the recipe that so many people could react to, and yet they keep it. that is the real kicker about so many products!

Oh, for crying out loud, do I feel DDUUHHMM. I looked right at malt vinegar (barley) but b/c I'm still so green at this I totally missed it.

Thanks W.

I will check out Heinz around here. Not sure if I have ever seen the other one but will look into it as well.

If the store you regularly shop at has only the Lea and Perrins, ask them to order in the Heinz for you. Because Heinz distributes both, that should be doable for the store.

I have never seen regular Kix that did not contain oat flour, which would make it not gluten-free. Does it have a different formulation where you live? We have tried the Honey Kix that do not contain gluten ingredients. Is that what you are using?

There is a new formulation of gluten-free Kix but it does not say gluten-free on the box. The picture on the box is different, it's of an ear of corn. Our store had the new kind once but now only the old oat kind. The new kind does not have oat flour. I will try to post the link if I can find it.

I found it!

I found an old bottle of NON-gluten-free Heinz in my fridge today and it HAS wheat in it, so be sure to get the right formulation...I can toss it...yay! One less thing in my fridge. I use L&P, since last summer.

Today I talked to 1-800-841-1256, the company that handles French's products. The Worcestershire Sauce is gluten free, and I am being emailed a list of all gluten-free French's products. The rep asked for the bar code on my particular bottle of sauce and confirmed that that particular batch is gluten free. FYI, it is not a new bottle. It has been in my frig for months. I think it would be safe to say that any you have purchased recently would be gluten free.

Lea & Perrins in Canada is NOT gluten free. In the US it IS gluten free....as janetw mentioned, but it deserves another shout out.

I forget sometimes also, that we have an international Forum. Campbell's Canada and Campbell"s US is another example of differing gluten free products.

Also in the U.S. Lea & Perrins is soy free as well. Just got validation from the company the other day. :)

I've looked at Bragg's so many times in the store. I've picked it up and put it back because I wasn't sure how it tasted. Then my local health food store had sushi tasting with Bragg's. Now I don't know what to do with the two bottles of soy sauce I have because Bragg's is much better. Love the stuff.

I called Heinz the other day about their worst. sauce (which is gluten-free), and they emailed me a list of all their gluten-free products that same day (which included Ore-Ida and Smart Ones items.) Much easier than making it!

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
