Sorry this is so late. The address for the Gluten Free Fair and Fundraiser

is 370 Vanderbilt Motor Parkway in Hauppauge.

By car from the West take the LIE to exit 55 (Motor Parkway); at the light

take left onto Motor Parkway West Bound. The IBEW Hall (at 370) will be on

your right about

GOOD EXPERIENCE. I HELPED UNLOAD AND LOAD FOR THE MERCHANTS. THE PLACE WAS A LITTLE TO SMALL FOR THE GROUP. AS THE EVENT WENT ON IT WAS LESS CROWDED.IF PEOPLE CAME LATER IT WAS A LOT LESS CROWDE. SO IF YOU HAVE IDEAS WHERE TO HOLD IT FOR NEXT TIME. SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. THE PLACE WOULD NEED A LOT OF ELECTRIC OUTLETS. REASONABLY PRICED. WE HAD PLEANTY OF VOLUNTEERS ON HAND. THEY EVEN PUT SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAY. ONE MORE SIGN WAS NEEDED. NEXT TIME DIRECTIONS WILL BE POSTED. IT WAS TOTALLY SOLD OUT TO MERCHANTS. ONE MERCHANT NEVER SHOWED. sOME MERCHANTS MADE NICE DONATIONS. nEXT TIME THERE WILL BE A JOURNAL. A LOT OF WORK IS DONE IN PLANNING BY VOLUNTEERS. PS DONT FORGET THE MEETUP HAD OVER 2000 PEOPLE. THE WALK IN QUEENS. THE NEXT BIG EVENT. I WAS SORRY I DID NOT RUN INTO THE OTHER MEETUP PEOPLE. IT WOULD HAVE NICE IF THE MEETUP GOUP HAD A PERSON TO HAND OUT ABOUT THIS BOARD AND THE OTHER CELIAC BOARDS. I AM SURE MORE PEOPLE WOULD JOIN IF WE HAD EXPOSURE. .

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
