Hi, Gluten free sense January 22 2015. The bottle I have Says it has "Natural Flavorings". That is a way to hide the gluten in it. Hamburg also may contain Wheat. I got a pack at walmart and Aldi's. Both made me very ill. I hahve celiacs.

It is highly unlikely that ground beef would contain wheat without it being on the label. Fillers like wheat and soy must be listed if they are added to meat as a filler. The  sauce might be a possibility. If you have doubts contact the company that makes it. Wheat has to be declared on the label as it is one of the 7 allergins and barley malt would also usually be listed.  What brand was it?

How were the items prepared? Did you grill on a grill that was used before you went gluten free? That might cross contaminate you if any gluten marinades or other items like buns were cooked on it before. 

Do also keep in mind that as celiacs we often think any illness is celiac related. Sometimes it is just a virus or food poisoning etc. 

Hope you are feeling better soon.

If you haven't already read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. There are many different and unexpected sources for CC.

In the US, and many countries - if wheat is added it must be listed.  Plain meat isn't likely to have any wheat added.  Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free in the US, but not in all countries.

You might want to try Wan Ja Shan Organic Worchestershire Sauce labeled as Gluten-Free.  It is brewed in the USA so I believe the label is responsible.  Available at good Asian markets and via Amazon.

Yup Lea & Perrins is not gluten free in Canada, but I believe they have other brands that are gluten free.   It is gluten free in the US.

I believe I saw once that the brand Amy's makes one. I'd check them out.

Amys doesn't make one, but Annies does, and it contains wheat.  Just to save you the searching.

 

I am in the US and use Lea and Perrins.

There is a gluten free brand called The Wizard Organic gluten-free/CF Vegan Worchestershire. Buy it here. I'm disappointed it has soy, so I will have to make my own. I'm looking at a few different recipes online, now. Found them when searching for gluten free worchestershire sauce. That's also how I found this site.

Hi All, I'm new to this and very confused! I have Lea & Perrins WC sauce, it lists it's first ingredient as Malt Vinegar.  I have the Coeliac Society of Ireland Food List 2015 here, and it says "All Vinegars are Gluten Free including Malt Vinegar." Doesn't that mean that L&P Worcestershire sauce is safe?  

Their website states

" Lea & Perrins® Worcestershire Sauce is cholesterol free, fat free, preservative free, gluten free and has 80% less sodium than soy sauce. "

I'm cooking for my coeliac niece, can't afford to make a mistake!

I know that Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce  in the US is gluten free, I also know that in Canada it is NOT. This is a very reliable site:

http://www.glutenfreedietitian.com/vinegar/

But it is in the US.

I'm agast that the Irish Celiac Society says malt vinegar is gluten free. 

I wouldn't use it. No sense taking any chance at all.

      Did you have any celiac antibody blood tests? Or just the gastroscopy/biopsy?

      So a bit of background. Nearly four years ago, I began experiencing intermittent stomach issues, including cramping and constipation. However, what concerned me most was the significant weight loss. Despite being active, the rate at which I was losing weight prompted me to seek medical attention. Prior to noticing the weight loss, I weighed 165 lbs (74.8 kg), but over time, I dropped to 120 lbs (54.4 kg). After consulting with my doctor, she suggested the possibility of celiac disease or gluten intolerance. She referred me for a gastroscopy, and while the biopsy did not confirm celiac disease, the specialist concluded that it was likely the cause. Following the diagnosis, I adopted a gluten-free diet. Initially, I occasionally indulged in foods containing wheat, such as take-out, but my decision to commit fully to a gluten-free lifestyle was prompted by a particularly severe reaction after eating pizza. I experienced chest pains, migraines, shooting pains throughout my body, and severe stomach cramping and constipation. Since then, I adhered to a strict gluten-free diet for over three years, avoiding even trace amounts of gluten. Despite this, I continued to experience ongoing stomach issues and was unable to regain the weight I had lost. A few months ago, I unknowingly consumed wheat after purchasing a jar of mustard that contained wheat flour—an ingredient I had not previously needed to check. Halfway through my meal, I noticed hives on my arm. Though the hives resolved after about 20 minutes and the stomach discomfort subsided shortly after, I reflected on the fact that hives had never been part of my previous symptoms. This led me to reconsider my diagnosis. This incident raised the possibility that my symptoms might not be related to celiac disease but could instead be due to a classic wheat allergy. To investigate further, I began experimenting with foods containing barley, which I consumed without any noticeable symptoms. I then tried soup with actual barley, with no adverse reaction. This suggested to me that wheat, specifically, might be the problem rather than gluten or barley. Encouraged by these results, I tested myself with small amounts of products containing wheat flour and starch, including an entire pop-tart and crackers, and experienced no issues. It's been days since, and I have been eating some wheat products, still with no issues. However, I am still uncertain whether this means that even though I am not experiencing any symptoms, I may still be causing harm to my GI. I will be consulting with a doctor to undergo allergy testing, but I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice from others who may have experienced similar situations. How should I proceed from here?

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      Well, I strongly disagree that it was a comprehensive celiac disease panel. In addition to the tTG-IGA and the Immunoglobulin A, a comprehensive celiac panel would have included DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. What he ordered was the most popular celiac antibody test available (and perhaps the best one), the tTG-IGA and he also, to his credit, ordered the Immunoglobulin A (aka, "total IGA"). The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test per se but is used to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency can distort IGA test results for individual IGA test scores downward and create false negatives. You are not IGA deficient so that is not a problem in your case. Here is an article giving an overview of celiac antibody testing:
