Miracle Whip And Other Vinegar-based Condiments

Hey all-- I need a little help here. Once again, the vinegar debate... Depending on what I read, some say items like A1 and miracle whip are okay b/c they are made with distilled vinegar. But I have found other sources that say do not eat either period-distilled or not b/c of gluten. What do you think?? :unsure:

Distilled vinegar is safe in my opinion. During the distillation process, the actual grain is removed.

miracle whip is fine--but dont use the miracle whip light--the last i knew it contained gluten--miracle whip mayo is fine too--and most vinegar is ok too--its a rough decision to take--sometimes i think and think and put it back--deb

I agree with celiac3270 I think it is safe when distilled. I have never had a problem with distilled vinegar either.

I think the only vinigar that can't be considered gluten free is malt vinigar.

Sorry celiac3270! I knew I was taking a gamble there but wasn't sure. I thought perhaps Peterson could be a maiden name and King a married name. Thought I'd go for it and assume away...but was wrong. Gotta give the male celiacs their respect :)

Lol :lol: ...it's fine. Peterson is my mom's maiden name, which became my nickname...I'm too young to be married, though, anyway :D . And it's a good gamble to take--there aren't many males who post here freqently....me, Richard...?

celiac3270,

Also a serious shortage of males at my support group - about 1 man for every 10 women. Are there fewer celiac males or are they just afraid of support groups!

Somewhere I heard that women are more prone to getting autoimmune disorders. I don't know the ratios for celiac. I think women tend to find support groups though.

I think they avoid anywhere they might have to show their "feelings" :P

I wonder if this would have anything to do with all of the hormones that rage through us, and especially in regards to having babies! I'm thinking of how pregnancy throws some autoimmune disorders into remission.

I've heard the same thing about women being more prone to autoimmune disorders. I think it's also that a lot of males don't care that much about their condition, so they'll just deal with it, but not care to try to learn more about it or help others who have it.......or like you said, avoid situations where you share feelings :) . I'm an exception to that, but my mom influences me more than my dad :lol:

My daughter just bought some Miracle Whip, made by Kraft. The label states it is made with modified food starch?

Let me know what you think.

Unless a Kraft label says wheat,rye,barley, or oats it is safe. It will not hide anything :D

So does that mean if Kraft states modified food starch it's ok to eat?

Thanks

yes. Modified food starch in the US is almost always corn starch, however to be safe I stick with companies such as Kraft and ConAgra that declare any wheat source on the label.

I don't have any problems with distilled vinegar, and I am an extremely sensitive celiac! LOL!!!! :D I just mean that I react to just about everything. Just last night I got accidentally "glutened" by cooking on a stove that hadn't been thoroughly cleaned after hubby made his pizza the other night and sliced it on the stove. I set my cooking spoon down in the crumbs and then continued to stir my food with it. What a dummy. I got so sick, I burst a blood vessel in my eye while I was puking and now have a lovely rash all over my face :rolleyes:

Why thank you Sally! I'm actually feeling ok right now. Just this rash on my face to remind me, and a dull ache in my belly.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
