Salad Dressing

I have only been gluten free for about 2 months now and, to be honest, I suck at it and have reactions about once a week...

I was wondering if there were ANY salad dressings that are gluten free. I am a college student and have a meal plan for the next two weeks and can't really afford to buy and cook my own foods, so salad is the easiest.

Kraft will clearly list wheat, barley, malt and rye. If you don't see it on the ingredients list, it's not in there.

Or, you can make your own salad dressing, which also doesn't cost much. The basic ingredients do not have to be refrigerated, either.

Oil. Olive oil is good. Gluten free vinegar such as real apple cider vinegar or balsamic. Or fresh lemon juice from a wedge of lemon. A sprinkle of salt. Maybe a sprinkle of sugar or sweetener, a shake of pepper. That's it. You can always add a little orange juice, wheat free tamari soy sauce, or mayonaise or ketchup to it to make different flavors. When you use dried herbs, garlic, and cumin and mayonnaise, you can make a ranch type dressing. Mustard and mayo, sweetened, makes a great dressing. I mix them up in a teacup.

I just keep a cruet bottle of oil and vinegar on the countertop, but you could keep that in your dorm room and just keep a little transporter container to take to the cafeteria with you.

Kraft Zesty Italian is gluten-free. Also check out http://www.(Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)/Annies-Naturals-Cowg...r/dp/B001ELL7W4 if you like Ranch. It has a bit more of a tangy taste then Kraft or Hidden Valley or any of the other main brands but it's still good.

Wow you read my mind! I too am a poor college student and feel like a rabbit from living off salads all the time! I have found most Kraft dressing will list whether or not it contains gluten. You can always put some chicken on your salad to spruce it up.

There are also quite a few salad dressings on store brand gluten-free lists so check those out too.

I tried a great one pretty recently, it Sophia's Cilantro Lime Dressing. It has no oil, it's 10 calories per serving and 10mg of sodium too. Delish. I use it to marinate chicken too.

You can get it at Whole Foods and I think you can order it online at amazon.

Hope this helps...

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      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.
