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.

Thanks! You ladies are always a great resource. I appreciate it! Miracle Whip here I come ....:D

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

:lol: celiac3270 ... must remember the males on this forum for sure! You are a big part of our great information source! :P

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 :)

celiac3270 Collaborator

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!

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

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.

bklyn Enthusiast

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.

celiac3270 Collaborator

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

Kaiti:

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

Thanks

Guest nini

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:

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

yeah anything by Kraft that doesn't have wheat,rye,barley,oats on the label is safe...they dont hide any gluten under any ingredients at all :D

Rikki Tikki Explorer

I know that feeling NINI, I hope you get better soon!

Rikki Tikki Explorer

Thanks Kaiti

Guest nini

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.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
