Kraft Miracle Whip

I'm relatively new to the whole gluten-free thing. Does anyone know if Kraft Miracle Whip (basically mayonnaise) have gluten in it? It lists soybean oil as one of its ingredients....does soybean oil contain gluten? I thought I read somewhere online that it did, but now I'm completely confused. It also listed 'colour'.....I think flavour can potentially contain gluten, but I don't know whether or not colour can.

I called Kraft and they were no help. She basically told me that they cannot guarantee this product is gluten-free, but contradicted herself by also saying that if there were any ingredients containing (& also potentially containing, as in a trace amount from cross contamination) gluten, they would be stated on the ingredients. I was so frustrated. I kept trying to ask her politely how these two contradictory things could be true, to no avail. I didn't have the energy to pursue it any longer, so I just gave up. How frustrating. Talk about the run-around. :(

Kraft will list all forms a gluten on the ingredient listing. If you don't see it there, it ain't in there ;)

It is "supposed" to be gluten free but I seem to be one of the people who have reacted to it. I don't do well with modified food starches. I use regular mayonnaise instead that is labeled gluten free, and if I want to make it taste like Miracle Whip, I add some extra apple cider vinegar and some sweetener to it.

Soybean oil does not normally contain gluten.

Please see the highlighted word in your post. That word creates a potential legal liability. Very few companies will guarantee gluten-free, since it would create a liability for them if one of their suppliers accidentally provided a contaminated ingredient, and they did not test each and every ingredient for possible gluten contamination.

Kraft is good to us, and I trust their labels.

Edited to add: Soybean oil is not a source of gluten, but there are a number of us who, in addition to gluten, are intolerant to soy.

I was reading the ingredients on a Hellman's Canola Mayonaise jar last week, and it even stated *Gluten Free on the jar. Problem for me is, salad dressings and mayo nearly always contain soy.

Don't know what you reacted to, but Miracle Whip is gluten-free. Personally, I can't stand the stuff, but it is gluten-free.

Yes, they all contain soy and HFCS. So unfortunate! I need to find a good recipe to make it myself for deviled eggs!

I consider it one of the basic four food groups ( meat, vegetable, fruit, and things that taste great but are fat) and was raised with it as an essential ingredient, so it's not that I don't like it or am impugning the brand, but it is definitely something I was reacting to, based on self trials. Sandwich with, gut bloating. Sandwich without, using regular mayonnaise, none. I'm talking my own gluten-free bread with nothing but the white stuff spread on it, and my wonderful spouse does not consume gluten in the house voluntarily, so it's not like the jar was contaminated.

I don't trust modified food starch unless the label specifies the country of origin and the exact grain product it was made out of. I suspect I am just not able to handle highly refined starches, which makes sense as it goes along with the type of arthritis I have, but with manufacturers sometimes using imported products there is always the risk of mislabeling or cross contamination.

In an ideal world there would be jars of mayonnaise made of strictly olive oil without the added starch and with no added gluten, but I haven't found one yet.

:lol: Me too...always Miracle Whip, never any other, and I loved it. It is made with soy though, so I can't have it anymore. :(

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      Thanks for the clarification on the scope. This is what confused me, "gastro doc said from the biopsy there was mild atrophied villi but I know that could be from where the sample was taken and they could be gone not far away." I interpreted that to mean when the scope was done they didn't do a thorough job of checking the area that would be affected by celiac disease and were looking for other things.

      I already had a scope done and he said there were damaged villi. This follow up is to go over the bloodwork I already know the results to and the gastric emptying study I had done.  I won't say the burgers were not greasy but not bad. It even happens with chicken breast or tenderloin in the air fryer and that's not very fatty at all.

      You might be having trouble digesting meat because of the damage to your villi. But what about gallbladder problems? Were those burgers, even the turkey ones, greasy? The odd thing is the "peeing like a racehorse" after consumption. You say you have follow up GI appointment coming up. Please be aware if the GI doc wants to do an upper GI to specifically check for villous atrophy of the small bowel, the hallmark of celiac disease, going on a gluten free diet already may invalidate the results as it allows for healing to occur.

      Had noticeable issues for 7 months including 3 trips to the ER for extreme discomfort. Every doc just said I had gastritis, take pepcid. This never changed a thing. Finally talked a doc into a referral to a gastroenterologist who I had to convince to do a scope and bloodwork to test for celiac among other things. It's like nobody believed me when I said I was sick. I got results back saying positive for an autoimmune disease but not which one. At that point I started a gluten-free diet based upon my own findings. The following week I check my insurance site and there's a message that I tested positive for celiacs. Never got a phone call. This was 5 weeks ago. The message said they suggest I maintain my follow up appointment which is may 19. No instructions on what to do, avoid, anything.  I am smart enough to figure this out thankfully.  So now 5 weeks into it I definitely feel an improvement. Been only eating things that say certified gluten free on the packaging.  I was eating a breakfast protein kind bar in the morning but stopped because they aren't certified gluten-free. Also it seemed I would have hard upper gi grumbles when I ate them and I just figured maybe the oats were hard to digest. one of my symptoms was a hard gi grumble that lasted for hours after eating gluten. Eggs don't seem to bother me but I only have 1 or 2. Dairy doesn't seem to bother me. 2 sundays ago I had 2 burgers with no bun. 2 patties on the grill. slice of prepackaged provolone. Half way through the second burger it hit me and I felt horrible. 2 hrs later I am peeing every half hour and up half the night. Thought maybe the small amount of seasoning I used that was gluten-free got cross contamination. This past saturday made a steak. Real butter in a clean pan and throw the steak on. 2 hrs after eating it same thing. Hard grumbles, peeing every half hour for several hours, and plain exhausted. around 6pm yesterday....gluten-free turkey burger in the air fryer. 2 hrs later peeing like a racehorse, hard grumbles in my upper gi. I'm still feeling the effects today. I tried all day to find an allergist but the soonest appointment is in August. I have an appointment with a nutritionist the first week of june.  Thinking back the worst reactions I've had  before diagnosis were general tsos which could have been breading or animal protein I guess. A fried fish sandwich. again could be Bread or protein. 2 burgers while on vacation this past winter. Also since diagnosis I made a porkchop with green beans and sweet potatoes and got the same sick which to me makes me think I'm having more of a reaction to meat or its protein than I am to gluten. gastro doc said from the biopsy there was mild atrophied villi but I know that could be from where the sample was taken and they could be gone not far away.  I'm very frustrated from going gluten free 5 weeks ago and having similar reactions to what should be clean gluten-free food like steak or turkey. I know it takes a long time to heal. I know I have celiacs from the blood work. I just wonder if there is something else going on this whole time. Has anyone had any similar experiences or have any insight? I am looking forward to my gastro appointment next week and have a list of comments and questions but i'm not getting my hopes up. I am by myself and am really struggling with all of this so I'm glad I found this community. I looked through a lot of posts and haven't really seen anything similar. Thank you all in advance.

      You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:
