Gluten Free?

Is vinegar gluten free? Even though it is a distilled product, I am not sure about the gluten thing.

Thanks,

Bosque

It is generally accepted that distillation removes any gluten from the final product, whether it be alcohol or vinegar.

Vinegar can be made from grains which are a source of gluten, but I have yet to find a distilled vinegar in North America that was. Most are corn, the rest are typically apple cider based. My comments apply only when the single word "vinegar" or the phrase "distilled vinegar" is used, and do not apply to other vinegars. Nonetheless, the only one I worry about is "malt vinegar" since is is not distilled and the malt is typically from barley--a gluten source.

Vinegar is the one ingredient that will put me off purchasing a product because unfortunately malt vinegar is the most commonly used here (it's a British thing, you know) so if it doesn't specify what kind of vinegar I must always assume it is malt :(

It is important to keep in mind that labeling rules vary depending on where you are.

In both Canada and the United States, in an ingredient list, the single word "vinegar" refers exclusively to distilled white vinegar. Malt vinegar must be described as exactly that: "malt vinegar."

Different rules apply elsewhere. Thanks for clarifying that, mushroom.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
