With the specific exception of malt vinegar, which will always be labeled as that, "malt vinegar," vinegar is gluten-free.

Ok good don't know what kind but it just says Vinegar on label. I looked up the other ingredients didn't see anything that looked suspicious but I'm new to this so I have no idea what I'm doing anyway all I know is all Ive had today is a Gluten Free Bagel with Chicken salad bought out of the Deli at out Publix grocery store. Then I had 1 Gluten free Cookie and a Banana. I've been starting to feel pretty good up until this afternoon.

The deli doesn't add bread crumbs to the chicken salad? The one near my house does....

Though I have read that vinegars are fine except malt vinegars, some rice wine vinegar contains gluten (I have seen a few brands in a specialty ethnic store in Canada that actually had "wheat" on the label). Most are fine, though, but still wise to check.

In the US, the single word "vinegar" listed as an ingredient is apple cider vinegar. It is likely distilled, but even if it isn't, apples are gluten-free.

Where did you find information that "vinegar" in the US is apple cider vinegar? I looked up Hellmann's mayonnaise, and it lists "vinegar" in the ingredients. The Best Foods website says, "The vinegar in Hellmann

Was this chicken salad specifically labeled gluten free ? Because who knows what was really in it. They could have marinated the chicken meat before cooking it, etc. And what about the work surfaces the bagel was exposed to, etc, in terms of cross contamination.

No it was not labeled gluten-free It was a mixed Chicken salad out of the deli it was in a little plastic container labeled Chunky white chicken breast with herbal dressing. There was also an ingredient label. I toasted my gluten-free bagel in our toaster at work. I wasn't around any other bread or anything at the time.

This is weird I feel better this morning. I actually had to take one of my husband Hydroxyzine's and knock myself out. I was itching so bad.. I still have D so I couldn't go by that since I had only been gluten-free for 5 days another thing strange that happened that I noticed was my lips were tingling when I was eating. I swear I'm falling apart.

Did you put it in a toaster bag, or on foil, or use some other method to make sure it wasn't touching the metal racks that all the other toast touches?

You can't use the same toaster for gluten free bread that others are using for gluten bread. You need a dedicated toaster.

If the deli uses any gluten containing ingredients in anything else there is a high chance of CC in it. Better to make your own at home than buy store made.

Whats a toaster bag? No I did not use foil I stuck it in our toaster/oven to be toasted. It has to touch the metal to sit down in there.

What have I done??

OK I messed up. I guess I better get my own toaster oven for work. I'm sure the boss wont care he is very nice and has his own issues.

I can make my own no problem. I guess I thought if I didn't see the word wheat or Gluten I was OK a lot of the ingredients I did not understand so I Googled but still didn't quite understand but because none said wheat or Gluten I still thought I was OK.

I thought I was ok with some vegetable stir fry as there was no gluten or wheat in the ingredients (only vegetables). However I later found that it was not suitable for those on a wheat or gluten free diet due to the methods used in manufacture. I wondered why I was feeling off after eating it. I was beginning to think it was the mushrooms or something and that I had another food sensitivity...

I think its easier to buy fresh stuff and make your own lol

With the itching and lip tingling swelling it sounds like a histamine response more than a gluten reaction to me. You are fairly new in the recovery process so you will have to learn about all the ways of being cross-contaminated and where trace gluten can hide. But sometimes there is something else going on, and as Celiacs, we are prone to secondary intolerances. I spent most of the last year experimenting with what could cause continuing problems as I was stricly gluten free and never ate anything made by anyone but me. Well, recently I discovered that histamine containing foods cause me to have reactions. They would cause the itching you described and also would be relieved by the hydroxyzine. I'm on a low histamine diet in addition to being gluten free. It wasn't nightshades, after all...nor many of the other things I thought it was. Keep searching for your culprit. But I just wanted to pop in here and let you know that Vinegar is a histamine food. I can't have it either...but it is definitely not due to gluten. Check out Histamine foods if you continue to have reactions you can't pin down to gluten or other intolerances. It's made a big difference for me.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
