Gluten Free Ketchup

We (my 18 year old daughter and I) are new to celiac disease. I am trying to run to the store to get ketchup for a recipe and would like to be able to grab one by name and run out with it, instead of having to read a million labels. Today has been a frustrating day talking to manufacturers and pharmacists to determine gluten free products.

Thank you,

Kimmey

You may want to try Annie's products and they also do a gluten-free ketchup. It is sold in many regular food stores around me. They also have fantastic salad dressings and many are gluten-free. The trouble with the mainstream brands of food is they use a lot of high fructose corn syrup and other crappy products in their food lines. They may be gluten-free but what you are eating is far from healthy. Depends on how far you want to take this! I would highly recommend the Annie's line...they mark what is gluten free on the label.

Muir Glen is also gluten-free but a bit pricey. Just be aware that the Heinz Organic may or may not be gluten-free. Heinz has two websites: on one it lists the organic as gluten-free and on the other it says it's not gluten-free, so beware. I decided to try it and had a reaction but later learned I am developing a nightshade intolerance so take that with what you will. Just DON'T get the cheapy store brands. I also found that out the hard way.

At one time, the Heinz Organic Ketchup had gluten, but it no longer does. I don't know when it changed, but is not a recent change.

It's been a couple of years since Heinz listed the Organic Ketchup as not being gluten-free.

I'm not so sure Heinz Organic Ketchup is OK in the U.S. Per their Open Original Shared Linkit doesn't sound like it is gluten-free.

Are the products offered gluten-free? All Heinz Ketchups, with the exception of Heinz Organic Ketchup, are free of gluten-containing ingredients. Heinz Dijon Mustard also is a product that is free of gluten-containing ingredients.

If I'm not mistaken, Walmart's Great Value Brand is gluten-free, and says so on the label. (It's also cheaper.)

I agree that the Annie's Organics ketchup is very good, & safe (Annie's labels all their foods), plus is free of the additives & corn syrup that aren't good for us anyway. I also use Trader Joe's ketchup, which is on their gluten-free list, & I've never had any problems with it.

Good luck! It does get easier. :)

I use the little McDonald's ketchup packages. They go good with their fries! :D

Hmm. Does anyone know of any gluten-free ketchup and/or mustard that doesn't use distilled vinegar? Or does anyone know of ketchup or mustard with vinegar distilled from something originally gluten free?

Do they ever make ketchup with apple cider vinegar? Is there any brand that uses it?

Don't be afraid of distilled vinegar as an ingredient. It should be safe.

Even if the vinegar is distilled, it almost never comes from wheat, if that's your worry.

I really can't name a ketchup that isn't gluten-free.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.
