You must have been eating the wing sauce or something--regular Frank's Red Hot is way more basic. I eat the regular Frank's Red Hot every day on rice, deviled eggs, potato chips (w/sour cream), and anything else that will hold it. I am VERY sensitive to gluten, and it hasn't gotten me yet. My suggestion: buy the plain hot sauce and add melted butter and a pinch of sugar and use that as your wing sauce (yes, I am from Buffalo:) Make sure you get your wings crispy first, then pour over the sauce and broil for only a minute. This way, you can stay away from all those weird ingredients. I try to stay away from anything with more than 5 ingredients.

Oops, I see now in the heading that it was the wing sauce.

Yes it was the wing sauce. I steared clear of the regular hot sauce because the first ingredient listed was vinegar, and I thought vinegar was a no no? unless it was distilled?

I was just pouring it over a piece of grilled chicken and putting it in a salad. I don't know maybe it wasn't the hot sauce but something has sure got me. Ugh. It makes me want to cry.

Hello,

Frank's original red hot sauce is on the gluten free list so the vinegar is distilled. I think with labeling laws they would have to say malt vinegar etc. Like Holly, I add 1/3 cup of melted butter to a 1/2 cup of sauce, makes very yummy buffalo wings!

Q: Are FRANK'S

"Vinegar" IS distilled vinegar in the U.S. And as the website says, all of Franks products are gluten-free.

I am not diagnosed with celiac disease but I am very sensitive to gluten. One bite of anything containing gluten makes me sick for days on end. From what I found out, you can't trust powdered spices like garlic powder and onion powder because it contains gluten. I have just got glutened last night from eating sweet chili rice crackers because there was garlic powder in it.... I would stay away from Franks Red Hot Sauce because one of the ingredients is garlic powder... It probably contains traces of gluten.

Please remember that any product info on this thread is 4 years old.  Products change over that time.

 

As for the garlic or oinion powder - in the Us and Canada and some other countries - if it has wheat added, it will be listed in the ingredients.  The garlic and oinion powder I have is only garlic or onion.  I think that is true for most brands.

      @knitty kitty Holy smokes, that Life Extension B-Complex is burning me up. My multi-vitamin already has 25mg of Niacin. The b-complex adds another 100mg on top of that. My face, neck, and ears look like the Cardinal I use for my profile pic. I have been on the b-complex for 10-days now and it seems to get a bit worse with each passing day. I think I...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I'm not sure what you're referring to as "normal" here - and is this something your doctor has mentioned (in bold)? As that isn't what any study or official information says. According to diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation, normal fasting blood sugar is 4.9-5.4mmol/L. Normal by 2 hours from the start of a meal is anywhere below 7.8mmol/L. Random...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My skin biopsy and MRI scan shows no signs of any type of nerve damage. Nothing consistent with demylination or peripheral nerve damage. On the contrary, the nerve function from the skin biopsy proved better than normal. I don't get any pins and needles or have any loss of nerve function. It's pain only. Thiamin I take is 100mg a day in tablet. I...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      @HectorConvector, My blood glucose level would spike after I ate. It wouldn't return to "normal" fasting blood glucose level for longer and longer. Blood glucose level should return to normal an hour after eating. Mine would take two hours, then three hours, then longer. So over night fasting blood tests wouldn't necessarily be very high until they...

      @knitty kitty Holy smokes, that Life Extension B-Complex is burning me up.  My multi-vitamin already has 25mg of Niacin.  The b-complex adds another 100mg on top of that.  My face, neck, and ears look like the Cardinal I use for my profile pic.  I have been on the b-complex for 10-days now and it seems to get a bit worse with each passing day.  I think I am going to drop down to taking 1/2 of the serving size.  In other words, 1 capsule instead of 2.  Hopefully dropping to one does the trick. Have you noticed any side effects from that B-complex?  It is WAY over the daily recommended values: Thanks for your time, Known1

      I'm not sure what you're referring to as "normal" here - and is this something your doctor has mentioned (in bold)? As that isn't what any study or official information says. According to diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation, normal fasting blood sugar is 4.9-5.4mmol/L. Normal by 2 hours from the start of a meal is anywhere below 7.8mmol/L. Random (more than 2 hours after a meal) should be below 5.6mmol/L.  Not in any study of normoglyceamic individuals does blood sugar go down to less than 5.4mmol/L one hour from the start of a meal, and I don't see such numbers being considered a limit for one hour post prandial in any official definition of normal blood sugar ranges anywhere. It is basically impossible even for the most metabolically healthy individual to have a blood sugar level anything like a fasting number 1 hour only after eating a high carb meal. This is also why medical standards use the 2-hour postprandial value, not 1 hour. Blood sugar normally spikes at about 1 hour after a high carb meal.  For example this study shows that young, healthy normoglycaemic people experience a 1hr peak blood sugar level of about 6.5-7mmol/L before which the 2hr number returns to about 4.7mmol/L, slightly higher than the fasting number of that morning. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2769652/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Even a normal person isn't going to be seeing essentially fasting blood sugar numbers after any meal except for one with 0 carbohdrates contents.

It's pain only.  Thiamin I take is 100mg a day in tablet. I used to test blood sugar a lot in the past, and it never correlated directly with the nerve pain. It has only correlated with increased exercise and stress. The after eating getting worse thing happens when the blood flow is directed to the stomach for digestion away from the peripheral areas, which is normal, but central sensitization has caused normal sensations to be turned into pain by the brain, according to the latest doctors, hence whey I am being referred to the pain clinic.
