Annie's Naturals Bbq Sauces

I was very disappointed to discover today that Annie's Naturals BBQ Sauces, Smokey Maple and Original are NO LONGER GLUTEN FREE... I called the 800 # and got a girl on the phone that really didn't seem to care that I was upset about this. If this bothers you at all, please visit their website and e-mail them. I still have half a bottle of the Smokey Maple that is gluten free, but when it runs out, I'm OUT of it. This is so sad because this has been my favorite gluten-free BBQ sauce.

Omigod. I just bought some today and didn't even notice!

aren't there other brands of bbq sauce that are gluten free? Is this brand just really good? I will call and complain for you, hahah, but I've never tried it. That's terrible that it contains gluten now. :(

this had been my favorite brand. :( Now I am a very sad puppy. I am now back on the search for a BBQ sauce that I really like. Kraft is just OK, I just LOVED the Annie's ones. Poo. I did send an e-mail to the company. I hope that other people do as well.

What a disappointment. You can e-mail them about this right here:

I hope a lot of us do contact them and let them know what a bummer this is.

ok, I got an e-mail back from the same lady that I spoke to on the phone, and for some reason my copy and paste function isn't working, but basically she apologized for steering me wrong and said that it is only the NEW ORGANIC BBQ sauces that are not gluten free, that the existing Original and Honey Maple still are, however my local store may not be carrying the original any more... She said if I have any problems finding the gluten free versions at my local stores that I can order them directly through the company.

I'm still upset that somebody feels that their Organic BBQ sauce is better by including gluten, but IF her latest info is correct and the existing original flavors (not the organic) are still gluten free, then we may be ok! I'm so confused!

I've e-mailed her back and am waiting on a response, but I checked the website again, and they DO NOT have the existing gluten free versions of the BBQ sauces listed at all. So I'm wondering if they ARE doing away with the gluten free versions after all and she just hadn't been informed of that. This is frustrating. In a previous life I wouldn't have spent so much time and energy on a BBQ SAUCE!!!!

I just bought both the original and smokey maple Annie's BBQ sauce at our local health food store. They were actually having a sale on it so I stocked up for the summer BBQ season. Both bottles are clearly marked Gluten Free.......

I've got two more stores I am going to check out tomorrow to see if I can find the bottles that are labeled gluten free... ;)

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
