B-b-q Sauce

Hey everyone!

I made gluten-free BBQ the other night for dinner using original Bull's Eye by Kraft. My hubby really thought it was gross. I've done several searches for BBQ sauces, but I was wondering if any of you have favorites that you could recommend.

We kind of like BBQ sauce with a little more of a vinigar "kick" than what that brand provides. Neither of us is used to super thick/dark sauce. :rolleyes: ...picky, picky, picky ;)

Could I get some suggestions from you all? Much appreciated! -Julie

LOL ~ there is another thread about bbq sauce that must have been written the same time as yours. Here is what I told her... I use KC Masterpiece Original. Make sure it is the original flavor... LAST time I checked it was fine. Some of the other flavors have gluten. I use this bbq all the time with no side effects. I think it has an excellent flavor, but that is me!! :) You will have to let me know what you think. Hope this helps!!! ;)

I use the Honey BBQ by Kraft...that's pretty much the only kind I eat.

Guest imsohungry

Thanks a lot. I have to laugh at my hubby. The other night I made BBQ pork roast, and he really didn't like the sauce I used...so, he "fixed" it. :blink:

Please note: my hubby knows nothing about making BBQ sauce, but nonetheless, he made his own "concoction" of ingrediants :rolleyes: ...and then dipped the roast in it! (good grief!)

I'm trying to avoid having the hubby dig in the fridge and cabnits looking for that "special ingredient." (and ruining another roast). :rolleyes:

Take care all. -Julie ;)

I like sweet baby rays the best!!

Bone suckin sauce is also good for things like pork chips on the grill.

-Jessica :rolleyes:

Guest imsohungry

You guys are great! Thank you for your suggestions. :)

My hubby decided tonight to buy the sauce by the "color"...he likes the lighter/thinner sauce...good grief...a man and his BBQ :rolleyes:

So, we bought a brand called Williamson Brothers sauce. It listed its ingrediants plainly and I called to make sure that the "spices" didn't contain gluten and she said that it didn't. So...I guess we'll give this a try.

If this doesn't work (or I get sick feeling), we'll go back to sampling other brands of Kraft....there is a whole variety of Kraft that I noticed tonight in Wal-Mart ;)

Well ladies...I appreciate your feedback. B) -Julie

I work right next to Williamson Brother's Restaurant and they assured me that the sauce was safe, it's really good sauce, but I also really really like Annie's Naturals Smoky Maple BBQ sauce. Several of Annie's bbq sauces are labeled gluten-free... there are a few that aren't though, so make sure you look for the gluten free label if you buy Annie's.

I own a restaurant and sell a case of baby back ribs most weeks. I wouldn't think of letting anything but Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce touch my ribs and it is gluten-free.....it is part of the reason that people come here and that they tell others about our ribs---the other is that they are so tender that they fall off the bone. I buy the sauce by the gallon/case. I could work for them promoting their sauce, I think it is so great. Barbara

Okay, Barbara, where do you live (and work)???

I like Sonny's Barbeque's Sweet Sauce. I just e-mailed them to reverify that it is still gluten-free. We also use Kraft Honey BBQ. If you like the stronger vinegar flavor, Williamson is probably more to your liking.

Annie's is no longer gluten-free. I am so sad!

I guess distilled vinegar doesn't bother me after all b/c it is in Annie's and I use it normally...or maybe that's why I don't feel good-lol.

In any case I will have to try the Kraft....

I have to put in another vote for Sweet Baby Ray's. It is my favorite. Anytime I try something different I mentally compare the two and nothing beats Sweet Baby Ray's. My husband eats all the reject sauces at our house. He's not picky! :rolleyes:

God bless,

Mariann

I am SO confused.

I just went to the store.

Kraft Honey BBQ has REGULAR vinegar, not distilled in it.

How is this considered safe?

Yet a lot of people here use it?

I bought Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory.

Has anyone used this and knows it to be safe?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Kraft is one of the brands that does not hide anything on labels. If it contains wheat,rye,barley, oats in any way shape or form then it will say wheat,rye,barley,oats.

Vinegar is not always a no no for celiacs...it just depends on the kind of vinegar

Guest barbara3675

I live and work in Conover, Wisconsin....and the ribs are on the menu every day we are open. Come on in. On Saturdays, they are served with with free onion rings which of course have gluten in them!!!! Sorry, but the ribs are gluten-free. Barbara

I have to come back here and retract my recommendation for Annie's Naturals BBQ sauces... They are NO LONGER GLUTEN FREE. This was verified yesterday 5/20/05 by telephone and on their website. Evidently someone somewhere decided that this product needed to be improved on by adding gluten. I have e-mailed the company a letter stating my disappointment, and would ask that any one else who has enjoyed Annie's sauces consider doing this too. I asked in my letter that they PLEASE try to refrain from "IMPROVING" any more of their currently gluten-free products to the point that they would no longer be gluten-free.

cdford Contributor

Sorry, Barb, but Wisconsin is a little far for this Georgia girl to travel...even for ribs. If I ever get that way, I'll look you up.

Sonny's now has gluten. What a bummer. I really liked their sweet sauce.

jknnej Collaborator

I'm supposed to use Sweet Baby Rays Hickory BBQ sauce tonight. Can you guys confirm for me that it is still gluten-free?

Thanks, Jennifer

PS I will be writing a letter to Annie's!

Last I checked (last year) ALL of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauces were gluten-free. They still should be.

God bless,

"Bone Suckin' Sauce" is gluten-free and tasty.

I won't eat the Sweet Baby Ray's unless someone here confirms they have eaten it and been fine VERY RECENTLY for a few reasons:

1. It has listed modified food starch, caramel coloring, and many other questionable ingredients.

2. the gluten-free list says it was verified a while back and not recently

3. The people at the company won't call me back and I've called 3 times

I have a bottle of Annie's gluten-free that is the last ones on the store shelf. AFter that I will try kraft.

angel-jd1 Community Regular

I eat sweet baby ray's all the time. I had some just the other day with no issues. LOVE IT!!

-Jessica :rolleyes:

I had some on Saturday on some chicken, and we eat it all the time. No problems here, and I an VERY sensitive to the slightest amount of gluten.

God bless,

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly.  I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge and biopsy.  Hang on in there. Sue

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.

      Yes, I don't recommend barley or wheat grass, even though technically speaking if it's made using ONLY the pure grass it is gluten-free, however, I've witnessed them make it at Jamba Juice and the seeds/kernels often get mixed into the grass before they juice it, so in that case would not be safe.
