Is there a salad dressing out there that's gluten free but everyone has already been using it even though they aren't gluten free? Does this make since? I don't want a dressing that is made just for people who need to go gluten free. I want one that's sold in the regular market and most people use.

Most of Annie's Naturals dressings are gluten free, as are several Ken's brand. I like the raspberry walnut vinegarette, and it's fat free, too :D

Kraft Ranch dressing is gluten-free. Not sure if all the other flavors are gluten-free, but Kraft has a great policy regarding gluten disclosure, so it won't be hidden in one of the less than obvious ingredients.

However (since going gluten-free), I've been making more food from scratch and it's hard to go back to bottles, as there's no comparison in taste/nutrition. I'd be happy to share my Ceasar and Italian dressing mixes if you want. My glutenoid family prefers it over bottles too. ;)

Wishbone is made by Unilever and they have this same policy. Just read the labels.

My daughter eats the Kraft Ranch and Kraft Creamy Italian without any problems. Hidden Valley Ranch - Ranch dressing is also OK. You can buy it in the individual serving sizes . . . more expensive this way, of course . . . but this is what we keep with us when we travel/go to a restaraunt so we don't have to worry about refrigeration.

I would love to try your recipes. Thanks! I was a big junk food eater before I was diagnosed about three weeks ago and am 5'9" and 130 so I have never had to watch my weight. This diagnosis has been very hard on me to adjust my eating habits but after reading so much about ingredients and what is in our food I am all for eating healthy now. I think even though I didn't really have to watch my weight my eating habits were starting to show in my appearance and energy. I just bought a book from Publix called Eat This and Live by Don Colbert and it's a wonderful book. I sit here and think about eating man made foods only and am curious to see what the results would be. So scary to think of how carried away everyone is with eating everything that's sold in a grocery store not knowing how unhealthy it is for you! No wonder medical expenses are so high! Everyone gets sick and heads to the pharmacy and really needs to take a better look at their food choices. Thanks again for offering your recipes.

If you want something really easy to make at home, I just mix extra virgin olive oil with a really good balsamic vinegar. It tastes better than the store-bought vinegarettes and is healthier. You can then add pepper or other seasonings to suit your tastes. You can switch it up each time, or make a bottle of it and keep it in the fridge for convenience :)

Good for you for becoming educated on healthy eating and making such a big lifestyle change. Good luck and use this forum for support if you ever need it!

In a bottle, I put in

2/3 c good balsalmic,

1/3 c EVOO

palmfull (about 1 tbs...) salt free italian seasoning

good squeeze from the dijon mustard bottle

good squeeze from the agave nectar bottle (or honey or maple syrup)--about 1 tsp or so..

Shake and enjoy--it's AMAZING with fresh sliced tomatos-yummmmm

Tons and tons of commercial dressings are gluten-free. Many, many, many more are gluten-free than not.

Where do you buy individual packets?? I've been looking and can't find them!

Here's a source for travel sizes. They have a gluten-free category but others that are not in that are gluten-free. You just have to do your homework or know your brands.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
