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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Is it gluten?

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

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

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.
