Passover Vinegar?

Does anyone know anything about Passover vinegar?  We made cocktail sauce this weekend and I found a new brand of horseradish and the only ingredients are horseradish root, Passover vinegar, and salt. I thought vinegar was safe because of the way it's processed, but maybe I understood that incorrectly?  Is some vinegar safe and some that still contains gluten?  Anyone have any idea about Passover vinegar?  I got very bloated last night and nauseous.  I am not sure what caused it, although the only thing I can think of that was different that I tried was the cocktail sauce we made.

Should be very safe as it cannot be made from grains like wheat or barley for Passover.  So it is usually apple cider vinegar or grape vinegar.  I am not Jewish and my friends that are are not this strict - but that's the basic idea.

For a Celiac - malt vinegar is not considered safe as it is made from barley and likely still contains gluten.  The process of making vinegar doesn't remove the gluten consistently.

Thanks for that info.  So pretty much most vinegar except malt vinegar is okay for people who can't have gluten?

The main difference is that "malt vinegar" is not distilled.  Common vinegars - like the cheap white vinegar you get to clean with - it will say distilled on it somewhere.  I only worry about malt vinegar but I always read the ingredients in case I picked up the wrong thing. 

"Passover vinegar" isn't used as a name of vinegar very often.  But horseradish is often part of a Passover celebration, so that may be why they listed it that way.

Thanks for helping to clarify.  So always be sure to check that any vinegar we use says distilled on it, and then we should be okay? I would have no idea if the Passover vinegar was distilled or not.  I guess I can try the horseradish again someday when my stomach is feeling better and see if I get a similar reaction or not. My only other thought is some new magnesium an just started, but it's suppose to be gluten-free and soy-free.  Does this all start to get easier for people the longer you go gluten-free?  Or is it still often sort of confusing and crazy at times, trying to figure out when something bothered you?

Horseradish kills my stomach - nothing to do with gluten.  But the deal with Passover is they can't have any wheat or barley - so, no matter how its made, it can't contain that

Oh, so maybe it's the horseradish. That stinks if it is.  More and more things I like are being cut out of my diet.  I will try it again someday when my stomach feels okay to see how it goes.  That will be a bummer if I can't have it anymore.  Thanks for info on the vinegar.  It's helpful to know that was not it.

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
