God Bless my mother in law...

since her husband died a key joy in her life is cooking for us. My daughter and i are fairly new to the gluten free lifestyle. She is getting it that we need to avoid wheat, which is really cool.

Today she gave us this luscious potato salad. (See, she gets it that we can eat potatoes!)

Question: are commercially prepared mayonaisses inherently gluten free?

We don't currently have any mayonnaise in the house, so I don't have a label to analyze.

I had one bite (couldn't help myself) but won't eat more til I find the answer!

(Got brown rice already cooked for my sides at supper)

Mayo usually has simple ingredients. I don't know of one that contains gluten.

However, you should be careful with cross contamination. After spreading a sandwich with mayo and double dipping, leaves it contaminated for those with Celiac.

Having glutenoid wife & kids who like to make their own sandwiches, I really like mayo in squeeze bottles. :D

I would agree that commercial mayo is gluten-free, but CC is a problem if others are also using it from a jar.

Thanks all for your timely replies. I didn't eat anymore of it after the issue of cross contamination was pointed out! My mother in law is not a big sandwich eater, so it is likely to be ok, but I just don't know. Hubby will get to eat it all!

When my husband does buy mayo, he does get it in the squeeze bottles, so we'll be safe at home.

What about pickles, frequently used in potato salad? Are all dill pickles gluten free? Anyone know current guidelines for ingredient listing?

If it doesn't say "distilled vinegar", could "vinegar" possibly mean there could be "malt vinegar" in the product, or does malt vinegar have to be listed if it's used?

fortunately for me, my MIL's potatoe salad is pretty basic, potatoes, onions or scallions, salt pepper a spice or two. but yes, the info on pickles would be helpful, for social situations where another recipe might be encountered!

Just wanted to add that for us soy and dairy free celiacs the Helman's Canola Mayo is pretty OK.

I should think that most pickles would be gluten free. But, always read labels.

Malt vinegar will always be labeled as "Malt Vinegar." The single word "vinegar" refers to distilled vinegar made from corn or apples. Wine vinegar will be so labeled--it is gluten-free.

Hi Momma Goose,

I have come across some Organic Mayonnaise products that contain Wheat Syrup ??

.

You may not be familiar with these brands (scroll down to ingredients)

It is not safe to assume that ALL Mayonnaise is Gluten Free.

.

Here an article about a food stabilizer derived from wheat used in Egg Free Dressings maybe Mayo ??

Thank you kindly. It's good to know.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
