O.K I know that kraft will clearly label wheat, rye, barley...but is there anyone who has had a reaction to thier bbq sauce??? I have been staying away from sauces for about a year and decided to try it again yesterday...well I had cramping and D today...I never get D anymore unless I''m glutened or some other irritant... That was the only thing differant I had yesterday and i checked all the ingredients.

I'm just frustrated b/c it seems the only thing that works for me is a plain bland diet. Even using pure spices other than pepper gives me bad gas and bloating :(

I have reactions to barbecue sauce, too, even if it's gluten-free (we use Sweet Baby Ray's). I haven't been gluten-free long enough to say for 100% certain that that's what's going on, but that's my guess. Maybe some of us just don't tolerate it.

This could also be due to another food sensitivity developing. Lately I can tolerate BBQ sauce unless it contains corn syrup (HFCS or regular CS).

Have you tried plain ketchup? Plain vinegar? Plain mustard? If not, try those first - see if you're sensitive. Then make your own BBQ sauce. It's easy. I can post a recepie later or you can try an online site like epicurious dot com.

the last time a tried ketchup it bothered me, but that was ayear ago. plain vinegar as long as its not balsamic I'm fine with, I dunno about mustard, I never use it but i could give it a try. I know I'm sensitive to tomatoes, but it doesnt happen all the time...sometimes I cant stand my body!! lol

thanks!!!

That's funny because I got ill a few nights ago and the only out of the ordinary thing I ate was Kraft BBQ sauce. We usually eat Sweet Baby Rays and I have never gotten ill. I also don't get ill from ketchup, mustand, etc. I was stumped as to what caused my gastro symptoms. I wonder what it is about Kraft that would make us sick......

Some of us will react to gluten grain distilled vinegars. That may be why folks are having a reaction.

From the information that I have, I thought it was the caramel color and tomato paste that is in these bbq sauces. Is that correct? I know that my daughter has a reaction to caramel color because she cant drink any kind of dark soda. We have stayed away from sauces due to the caramel color and tomato paste, but I would love to try some of these if I am incorrect.

Many celiacs have other sensitivities besides gluten. Sensitivity to nightshades (which include tomatoes) is not uncommon.

If the caramel color was derived from wheat, that would have to be disclosed as "wheat" in the US, but I have never known caramel color to be derived from wheat in North America. It is one of those celiac urban myths.

Kraft's labeling policy is clear. They will disclose, by name, any gluten-source grain in the ingredients list. If you do not see any of the words wheat, rye, barley or oats, then those grains are not present. Period.

what about tomato paste? when i read the ingredients of the tomato paste on the can, it says wheat.

Also, what is in dark soda that makes my daughter have a reaction if its not the caramel color?

When tomato paste is listed as an ingredient it is gluten-free. I have never seen a can of tomato paste that had anything other than tomatoes as an ingredient.

I don't know what your daughter is reacting to in dark soda. Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are gluten-free. But there could be something other than gluten that is causing a problem for her. Possible suspects include high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, phosphoric acid and citric acid.

Nealy's BBQ sauce, sold at Wal Mart.

Perfect for a gluten-free diet since its made with Apple Cider Vinegar.

We love it. Its a bit on the thinner side however here is a great recipe for BBQ ribs that we make that gets rid of the thin make up of the sauce:

1 slab BBQ ribs, baby back best

Mix together brown sugar, paprika, and garlic powder to make the rub. We prefer a 3-2-1 mix of sugar to paprika, to garlic.

Lightly press the rub into the ribs, VERY light. You only need to do the top meaty part

Boil in a pan for about 1.5 hours until the meat reaches a temp of around 180 degree's.

Take out and let cool

Rub in more of the mixture but a bit heavier this time

Coat with sauce and cover and leave in fridge for at least 2 hours, over night is better

Remove from fridge and let come to room temp

Throw on the grill until hot

The rub absorbs the sauce and thickens it.

Done right, and you'll have to experiment a bit, but done right better than any restaurant rib I've had.

If wheat is listed as an ingredient then it is indeed not gluten free. If it says it is produced in a plant that also produces items with wheat etc... then that is a warning that there may be a CC issue with the item. Some of us will avoid, others will risk it. It is a personal choice how much risk you choose to take. I personally don't buy items with this warning as I am very sensitive.

I also avoid caramel coloring in foods. It is made by browning a starch but many consider it to be 'rendered gluten free through processing' even if it is made from a gluten starch.

It depends on how sensitive a person is, the bottom line is if the item makes you ill don't use it, regardless of it's technical gluten statis. As mentioned many of us do have other intolerances that become more obvious after we have been gluten free for a bit.

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.

      Before I could call them (after all my research), Costco Pharmacy called and told me they found a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.  Was told name is Amneal brand.  Said they called and company  confirmed is gluten free.  Only one I had found was Lannett so did more research and found:  “BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov. 12, 2018.  Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) today announced that it has completed a transition agreement with Lannett Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Amneal will take over the distribution and marketing of Levothyroxine sodium tablets from Lannett beginning December 1, 2018 through March 23, 2019, ahead of when the Company's previously announced 10-year Levothyroxine distribution agreement with Jerome Stevens begins on March 23, 2019.” So looks like we’re good until at least 6/23/29.  Active ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, CORN STARTCH, acacia, sodium startch glycolate. Bottom line:  We can tell our pharmacists we need gluten-free, generic Amneal brand Levothyroxine.   AMEN.

      Given your severe symptoms it sounds like you would be much better off going 100% gluten-free!
