Salad Dressings

We are awaiting Promethius Celiac Plus test results but have been trying to be gluten-free and have gone from horrible gastric discomfort every day to 2-3 times in the last 3 weeks. We had a bottle of Ken's Bleu Cheese salad dressing in the house. Their statement (on their site and in their e-mail to me when I asked the question) says that this product does not contain gluten IN THE RECIPE. What I was hoping to hear was that this product does not contain gluten IN THE BOTTLE. I just thought it was a very odd way to put it and I have to question whether or not it is safe. My husband used it on his salad tonight figuring it was and had a bad reaction easily within a half hour of eating. We are very new to this and are still trying to figure out if gluten is the problem. Removal of it from the diet has enabled him to eat yogurt and have milk in cereal with no issues. Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

It is probable from the statement that the recipe is gluten free that the salad dressing is made on lines shared with gluten products (they cleanse he lines between runs, but for the super sensitive there still seems to be some gluten residue which contaminates the product and causes a reaction.) You might want to limit your use of processed products made in shared facilities (it will usually so state on the label).

Something to think about with blue cheese - here: Open Original Shared Link

I've just always stayed away from blue cheese - its easier that way.

What other things did you have to eat for dinner? Anything else that was processed? Any sauces, etc?

Nothing else at dinner that had any possibility of containing gluten. For the most part, we eat very little processed foods and I usually make my own "sauces" and will likely start making my own salad dressings, although Newman's own SEEMS to be okay.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
