Clamato

I have avoided Clamato since I couldn't figure out for sure if it contained gluten (label lists vinegar - not distilled). I've seen numerous (somewhat older) posts in the forum stating that it is NOT gluten-free. I finally contacted their customer service asking if Clamato contains gluten and this is their response:

Thank you for contacting us about the presence of gluten in our Mott

FDA regs state that if it just says vinegar on the label then it would be apple cider vinegar. Malt vinegar is not safe but would be listed as such. Distilled vinegar is considered safe for us but a few of us will react to distilled gluten grains.

I have never had Clamato so can't say if it is safe for sure or not.

As noted above, the single word "vinegar" as an ingredient in the US is apple cider vinegar, which is usually also distilled. It is gluten-free.

WOW! This makes me so happy! Thanks for looking into this. Yesterday I ordered a caesar and was raving about how good it was, while wondering if it was going to affect me today. I feel fine and now I know why, no gluten! If I can't have beer, at least I will be able to have caesars!

Clamato has always been gluten-free.

Just FYI though - Worchestershire sauce is *not* gluten free, so if you are having a caeser, you'll need to order it without (or make it at home with a gluten-free Worchestershire sauce -- there is at least one commericially-available).

Enjoy!

SOME Worcestershire sauce is, some is not. In Canada Lee & Perrins is not gluten free. In the US it is.

Gluten is a mixture of complex proteins found in the grain of wheat, barley, oats, rye, rice, corn, and other grains. All of our Mott's sauce and juice products are gluten free.

As a side note, I noticed they also believe rice, corn and 'other' grains contain gluten :)

In Canada, if you can find it, Hunt's Worcestershire Sauce is gluten-free. You may find it at a Wal-Mart Super Center. Metro's house brand, Selection, lists no ingredients that could be sources of hidden gluten.

In the US, just buy L&P.

My gluten allergies are not as symptomatic as most, so sometimes I can't tell right away if something is affecting me.  However, I drink Clamato almost religiously.  It's one of my favorite drinks, and so far I haven't noticed any adverse effects.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
