Vinegar- No Distilled For Me!

Hi Everyone- I'm finding 7 months into this diet that although most Celiac's can consume distilled grain products like vinegar, I cannot. So, I have two questions. I assume that there are vinegars made from tyhings other than grains (like rice vinegar) but what are some of the products that contain distilled vinegar? I know salsa would be one- SO SAD. What are some others?

Lots of things can contain vinegar like salad dressings, condiments like ketchup, ect. I just stick to products that I know are gluten-free like Kraft and Heinz gluten-free products.

For salsa, you'll just have to make it from scratch! (Don't need vinegar for that!)

Other products: ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, picked items... That's what I can think of at the moment. But it has to be listed on labels, and it pops up in a lot of liquid things.

Do you have a Trader Joe's? They have great gluten-free salsas and other condiments!

I do have a Trader Joe's and I just found out that my favorite salsa- Green Mt. Gringo- has apple cider vinegar! Yippee!

Rice IS a grain, so technically rice vinegar is a grain vinegar.

Sorry- let me say distilled vinegars from wheat, rye, barley or oats. B :D

Just to try to help -- I've never seen or heard of a distilled vinegar made from rye or oats. Malt vinegar is usually made from barley (although not always) but it is either not distilled or they add the malted barley after distilling (I don't know which) -- that's why we can't have it. And although distilled vinegar can come from wheat, it almost never does. I've never heard of a salsa made from distilled wheat vinegar. Distilled vinegar from grain is almost always from corn. Distilled vinegar can also be made from wood.

That said, some people simply cannot tolerate distilled vinegar no matter what the source.

That's interesting... :blink:

That's interesting. Really interesting- eek! Wood? I was looking online last night about the distilled products and Celiac's and I found something intriguing here. I've only recently started having a problem with them- like vinegars and SKYY vodka which, while triple distilled (you'd think that would kill anything!), is made from grains even though it says it is gluten-free.

What I found was this. The symptoms of gluten intolerance and candida intolerance are really similar. Check out this link: Open Original Shared Link

so I'm wondering if that is part of my problem. Does anyone else know anything about this?

Home-made salsa is real easy to make and taste's better anyways.....

Salsa Recipe:

In a food processor start with 4-5 garlic cloves and a large onion. Add in your pepper(s) of choice (How many peppers? It depends on how hot you like your salsa and what type of pepper you use?). If you like it hot add the seeds. If not then omit them. Chop well. Add in your Cilantro (as much or little as you like) and tomato's (I like using Roma tomato's). Chop well. Add 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon (or lime juice), salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.

I usually add a few hand-chopped tomato's and a little more onion at the end to give my salsa a chuncky texture. Becasue the salsa doesn't contain any preservatives it only lasts for about 24-hours before it starts to sour. You can freeze this salsa for up to 6-months in a closed air-tight container.

Enjoy!

P.S. This salsa is great on scrambled eggs!!!!!

So, you have tried the rice and/or apple vinegars and can tolerate them OK? If yes, you can usually find mustard made from cider vinegar at the health food store. I never saw a mayo without regular vinegar but you can make your own with a vinegar that you can tolerate and it isn't that difficult. I did find one that was a passover mayo made with asorbic acid that has no vinegar but I bought the store out and may not be able to get it again until next passover.

If you cannot tolerate rice or cider, like I found I cannot, the problem may be something else. Mine was yeast.

Distilled vinegar is used for almost all condiments: mayo, salsa, bean dip, mustard, ketchup, salad dressings, BBQ (that has the been the hardest to live without for me), steak sauce, salsa, etc.

I have come up with my own "quasi" ketchup/BBQ receipe that tastes OK but not really great that I use lemon juice instead of vinegar.

Hi Everyone- I'm sorry I never replied but for some reason, I never saw the last few threads. I've been playing it really low key for the last three weeks and have not, to my knowledge had any distilled products and am feeling better. When i'm feeling a bit braver, I'll try a TINY bit of my favorite salsa with apple cider vinegar and see what happens. I've spent too much time in the last month feeling horrid and I want to feel good for awhile before I try ANYTHING I'm even remotely suspicious of. Been missing vodka tonics but not that horriod feeling I had after drinking SKYY. Blech!

Trader Joe's brand mayo uses cider vinegar. It's my favorite. I used to love Best Foods but then they ruined it by adding sugar... blech!

There are some potato vodka's out there if you are willing to pay the price. I am currently using my potato vodka to make my own vanilla for baking to avoid any possible problems.

thanks- that's really helpful as my husband is jonesing for mayo and I haven't known what to buy. I've had the Chopin potato vodka in the past and it's worth the price. The real question is: Do I have a problem with distilled products in general? Would it develop suddenly? For example, I've had Chopin in the past and never noticed a problem, but when I tried SKYY (which is triple distilled and supposed to be gluten-free) I got really sick. I'm a little afraid to try (it's been three weeks and I'm finally feeling better and don't want to chance it just yet). We'll see. Thanks, Beverly

I have been asking myself a similar question, but about fermented products. I seem to do ok on vinegars though, so it's just some fermented products. I have been uninterested in yogurt for quite some time now (3 months?) which I was eating daily. Then I had a bad stomach episode, either gluten or allergy reaction, and I haven't been able to tolerate it since. It took some time for me to get back to eating dairy in fact, and I'm not as gung ho on that as I used to be, either.

I don't know if we suddenly develop these things or they just become aparant at some point, as they were there all along. I'll bring something up, I think I had an allergic reaction to corn this weekend, and my husband will say "oh, I didn't know you were avoiding corn..." god! it must be so hard for other people to keep track!!!

It's funny about the potato vodka, when I first found out I couldn't tolerate nightshades, I figured it was the potato in vodka that made me get so sick when I drank it. Then I found out potato vodka is rare these days. I don't know what component of it was bad for me, but I can't drink any alcohol now, so the whole thing is moot.

      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.

      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

      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.
