    At least some of Weber's BbQ sauces are labeled as Gluten Free.

    When I look at ingredients in bbq sauces, they indicate vinegar as an ingredient.  I can not tolerate white vinegar, as it is made from wheat.  Do the listed products contain white vinegar?

    White distilled vinegar is gluten free.  You must watch out for malt vinegar (barley).

    The BBQ sauces look good, but I can not tolerate tomato or honey!  I have been making a molasses based sauce and one with plum jelly.

    Hey everyone, you should try Croix Valley Foods products.  They are all gluten free and everything I've tried from them has been absolutely delicious.  The ingredient list seems to be of a much higher quality too.

    Please clear this up. I was told years ago that distilled vinegar is distilled with wheat. I cannot tolerate distilled vinegar, thus I thought it to be true.

    Any thoughts?

    Distilled vinegar, no matter the source, is gluten-free. Most distilled vinegar in the USA is made from corn.

    The label of the Lillie's Q sauce says "Made With Gluten Free Ingredients - made on equipment that also processes wheat". I'm not sure if that can really be counted as "labeled gluten free".

    We moved Lillie's Q Hot Smoky BBQ Sauce to the no gluten ingredients area.

    We found a gluten free BBQ sauce in Gulf Shores, AL called Meat Mitch. It comes in a spicy Kansas City and one other flavor.

    Korean food is right at the top of my favorite international cuisine list, especially Korean barbecue. Gal-bi, or beef ribs are my very favorite Korean food. The Koreans know a thing or two about grilling ribs, and good Korean barbecue will hold its own against the very best anywhere. In addition to being tasty, it's easy to prepare and cooks up quickly with very little effort.
    This recipe will deliver a batch of tasty, succulent ribs that would pass muster in the most discerning Korean kitchen. This recipe will serve about five or six people. The marinade can also be used on chicken or pork, if you like.

      And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust. It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made. I'm really burdened by the potential social impact...

      Thank you for your reaction. The reference values are both "<10", although I found a medical paper from Netherlands (I'm Belgian) who use the same values and there the see a positive daignosis as twice more then 200 and a positive biopsie.

      Hi all, I'm very new at this and 'this' has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Last august my 7 year old son suddenly had these colic like pain attacks that would come a few times per day/night during 10 days. Because they were that bad and because our older daughter had her appendix taken out at 7, we ended up at ER twice to have him checked...
