Tell Me What Glutened Me From This List:

I made pork bbq the other day. Cooked a pork roast in the crockpot with water and some vinegar. The vinegar was "white distilled vinegar" which is supposedly gluten free.

Then after it had cooked for awhile I took off most of the liquid, shredded the meat (on a clean cutting board, using two clean forks). Then I added bottled bbq sauce (yes, I'm lazy, lol). Here's what's in that:

corn syrup

water

tomato juice

vinegar

food starch-modified

honey

salt

paprika

molasses

natural hickory smoke flavor

spice

mustard flour

guar gum

caramel color

garlic and onion powder

some artificial color

No allergen listing at all. I called the company and they're calling the distributor and getting back to me.

But I just wondered if you all had any ideas. I've googled all the suspect things and I see that any smoke flavor might be from barley, which wouldn't have to be listed under the allergens.

Well anyway, just wondered what you all thought. I really should just make my own. Is it hard to make bbq sauce? If that's a dumb question please don't laugh. :P I hate to cook.

Oh, and of course the reason I'm asking all this is that I was sick yesterday and still feeling a bit icky today. That was Saturday night and I had nothing else to eat on Saturday that could have glutened me. I'm sure about that because I ate at home on Saturday. Grits for breakfast, an apple with peanut butter for snack, salad for lunch with the usual stuff and same salad dressing that I always eat (same bottle that's already opened and I've already eaten half of it with no ill effects.)

sigh... :ph34r:

Food starch modified ?

A lot of BBQ sauces are gluten-free but maybe not all. What brand did you use? I use a local brand and sometimes KC Masterpiece regular flavor which I saw somewhere is gluten-free. ( maybe their website?). I heard that Sweet baby rays brand is too.

If it was wheat, it would have to say so. It is usually tapioca or corn.

Yes, thanks to this board I know about the modified food starches. But I'm suspicious about the smoke flavoring or where it says "spices". I guess the bottom line is that it's best not to trust anything processed like this unless I've seen a specific reply from the company to say it has no gluten ingredients.

No grain product can be listed as "spices" in an ingredient list in Canada or the United States. In both countries, wheat is a top allergen which can not be hidden.

I wouldn't trust the cutting board, if you used to use it with gluten things (esp if it's wood.)

What all did you have to drink?

I made this recipe awhile back and it was delicious! You make your own BBQ sauce, pour it over the meat, and cook in the crock pot(like you did) until it's nice and soft...just be sure to use a gluten free soy sauce like La Choy :)

p.s. I just subbed white vinegar for white wine vinegar, I don't think it makes any difference :)

Theres a really good forbidden list on the home page on here and a safe list and also some possibles that possibly maybe derived from wheat.

I had a similar experience with some gluten free gravy mix and just could not work out what it was that made me so ill. Mine also had caramel in but caramel powder and only going from memory but thought I read it can be a possible can caramel as derived from wheat.Have a look at the list on there it is really long but useful as I am not sure I am remembering right.

my stomach reacted almost immediately to the gravy and I had the runs ALL night.

Mine also had garlic powder, onion powder, mushroom powder and lots of other stuff.

Yah, I know they have to list wheat. But if something has barley in it are they required to list "gluten"? I know they don't have to list the actual barley since that's not a top allergen. Whatever I was reading earlier said that "smoke flavoring" can be made from grain, but I'm wondering if that grain has to be wheat or could it be barley?

In any case, I won't be buying this brand anymore. :ph34r:

Thanks for this recipe. It looks pretty easy, even for a non-cook like me! I've added it to my recipe folder and I'll try it next time. :)

I would be suspect of artificial color, smoke flavor, modified food starch means although its not wheat it can be barley, mustard flour.

Did you check your pork? I have bought roast before that had wheat flour on it to help with browning... It's annoying really

I thought I read somewhere on the site that caramel color can have gluten. I may have read it somewhere elase, but the article was talking about some coca cola products that might not be gluten free because of the caramel color. I am new... just chiming in. :) I have LOTS to learn, but I wondered about that.

I don't think they have to speficy barley (or gluten in general), only wheat.

As posted above, grain products can not be labeled as "Spices." Spices, as an ingredient, is gluten-free.

Caramel color is one of those celiac urban myths that just won't go away.

Here is Shelley Case's take on it, from Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resource Guide:

Although gluten-containing ingredients (barley malt syrup and starch hydrolysates) can be used in the production of caramel color, North American companies use corn as it has a longer shelf life and makes a superior product. European companies use glucose derived from wheat starch, however caramel color is highly processed and contains no gluten.

Thanks Peter. :) I've started a folder in Evernote where I'm keeping on the info on things like caramel color, modified food starch, etc. -- all the ones that we persist in getting wrong. :rolleyes: So much to remember... I can't imagine my gluten-free life without this board and its wealth of information.

I still haven't heard back from the bbq sauce company so I can't give an answer yet.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
