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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
