Hi all, newbie questions.

I noticed Heinz catsup is gluten-free - thank you!

Here are my ??

1. Substitute for white vinegar

2. Substitute for flour to thicken sauces (roux)

3. gluten-free hamburgers? Recipe?

4. gluten-free sausage? This is one of the only things my 2 1/2 yr old likes

5. Is cream (1/2 n 1/2, whipping cream, etc) gluten-free? Or is there a brand that is?

I very much appreciate the help. I know I can call the 800 numbers tomorrow, but am trying to plan for the week coming up and no one's open today.

Thank you!

apple cider vinegar

corn starch works great to thicken sauces

hamburger meat is gluten-free, just make your patties... I like Kinnikinick gluten-free hamburger buns

applegate farms makes gluten-free sausages, but I'm not so crazy about them. I'm sure there are some other brands of sausage that are gluten-free, I just don't know what they are.

as far as I know, all cream is gluten-free, like 1/2 & 1/2 ... but I could be wrong. I use Horizon Organics creams and other dairy products.

Here's what I've found-

1. Heinz - distilled white vinegar and apple cider(not apple flavored)

2. Cornstarch is a GREAT thickener(I use it alot) you can also use a Gluten Free all purpose flour

3. like nini said hamburger is gluten free.

As was said in the previous posts cornstarch is a great thickener

As for whipped cream..look at Kraft they do not hide anything.

For thickening I like cornstarch for some things, but not for others. It's great for puddings, or for clear broth-based gravies.

For a roux however (butter or fat-based gravy) I prefer a mix; 2/3 Asian rice flour and 1/3 bean flour (I use Great Northern Bean flour, but garfava or whatever will work too). This will not only result in a more flour-like roux (it bonds well with the fats and the end product is not as gelatinous as corn starch) but it is also more nutritious (rice and beans in combination contain all the amino acids required for your body to make protein).

I quite frequently use potato flour for a thickener. Especially for gravies. It has the same flavour as the potatoes and I think a better texture. I also use it to thicken soup :P

All white vinegar is gluten-free. Avoid malt vinegar.

Cream is gluten-free.

Most sausages are in fact gluten-free. If you haven't already seen your favorite listed here, call the company and ask.

I agree about the flour mixture instead of cornstarch for a roux.

I've used both Potato Starch and Tapioca Flour successfully to make a roux. I use them 1:1 as you would regular flour.

Thank you so much to everyone. I must admit, the thought of changing our diets FOREVER terrified me a week ago. Each of you has been so open, honest, and kind that I'm beginning to have hope, and realize that I can do this.

Thank you for supporting me, I really needed it.

PS I'm amazed at how rotten the withdrawal was (pounding headaches) but how good my tummy feels!

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for several generations, too.  Once I started taking TTFD, a form of thiamine that can enter cells without using thiamine transporters, my migraines have vanished.  TTFD is tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. Benfotiamine is another form that can improve migraine frequency, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There is no upper limit because thiamine has never caused a death even in high doses.  It is excreted via kidneys if not needed or not absorbed.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   Alcohol has to be processed through the liver.  If there's insufficient thiamine, Alcoholic Fatty Liver develops.  In thiamine insufficiency, calories are turned into fat and stored in the liver instead of being turned into fuel ATP for the body.  Alcohol also prevents absorption of calories from food and other nutrients.   Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver can develop in nonalcoholics, storing excess calories as fat in the liver.  However, excess calories can also be turned into fat and stored in the abdomen, hence the increase in obesity.   In Celiac disease, we don't absorb sufficient nutrients like thiamine from our food.  If we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, we can run out of vitamins like thiamine and the other Bs needed to turn those calories into fuel ATP.  For every extra thousand calories of carbohydrates consumed, our bodies require 500 to 1000 mg of additional thiamine to process them into fuel, ATP,  the "bitcoin" of energy in our bodies.   Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in non-alcoholic people, but doctors can miss the symptoms because the patient doesn't drink, and doesn't have all three symptoms of the classic Triad of symptoms seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.  My doctors failed to diagnose me with thiamine deficiency, Wernicke's Encephalopathy,  because I didn't drink alcohol, although I had ataxia and an altered mental state.   Doctors don't think outside the box!   I went home and took thiamine.  I had improvement in my symptoms within an hour.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct Thiamine deficiency.  Thank God I had studied nutrition, microbiology, and the research of Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  ("Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition" is Drs. Lonsdale and Marrs' book.).  And I've kept learning and sharing that knowledge to help others.   It's wonderful you've been supplementing with vitamins so long!  Don't worry about the bright yellow urine.  That's excess Riboflavin B 2.  Interesting note, Riboflavin glows under black light!  Those lights used to detect where pets have soiled outside of the box, that's the Riboflavin in urine glowing.  Riboflavin can be put in sugar syrup when making rock candy and it will glow under black light.  Fun for Halloween. I hope you feel better, @Oldturdle.  If I can be of further help anytime, you can send a personal message here.  Thanks for reading my posts.  P.S. Thiamine deficiency and Wernicke's Encephalopathy are completely reversible if treated promptly with high dose Thiamine.

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.
