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.

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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
