I get sick after eating anything with vinegar in it, but I don't know why! Does anyone have something like this? Can you be allergic/intolerent to vinegar?

Yes, but it's very possible that vinegar is just too acidic for you at this time.

Sorry I left this out, I also react to foods that are cooked in any kind of wine too.

perhaps it's sulfites? Open Original Shared Link

I can only tolerate a small amount of vinegar at a time--like the amount in a salad dressing. For me, I think it's the acidity of it--coffee affects me the same way.

Since the wine affects you the same way, it could be a sulfite issue too. If this cropped up soon afer going gluten-free, you may just need to heal a bit.

I've been gluten-free for a year now but thanks. I'll check out sulfites.

Although I dont have problems with vinegar, it seems to be more and more common with visitors to Hawaii. Since I work with a lot of hotel chefs, we've come up with some vinegar substitutes based on sour fruit like bilimbi and green starfruit juice as well as a number of others. Some of us think that it might be the acid as well as or instead of sulfites.

Good luck finding out, and please let us know when you do

vinegar has bothered me for years, long before becoming celiac. Not only does it affect my stomach, but my tongue swells up real big.

I also have an intolerance to sulfites, which makes vinegars and wines very hard. I have found that apple cider vinegar has the lowest sulfites. I also, as Ken suggests, use lime very often. So I make cucumber salad with lime juice, red onion, salt and pepper. But that won't help if it is the acidity.

The sulfite intolerance will make your mouth and joints swell-- if it is bad enough it can kill you. It can also give you photosensitivity, as well as a nice bright red rash. Some people experience nausea and intestinal upset as well.

One way to figure it out is to see if dried fruits, dehydrated potatoes and other high-in-sulfite foods get you too. The link tarnalberry gave you has a list of sulfite-containing foods.

Good luck figuring it out!

      7yo struggling!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Food Allergies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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:

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Is Sertraline manufactured by Cipla gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
