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.

      Hector, have you had a follow-up biopsy to check the progress of small bowel villous lining recovery after going gluten free?

      @HectorConvector, Please try adding Niacin to your supplements.  Low Niacin has a connection with suicidal ideation.  Been here, done that.  Niacin made me feel better mentally and physically.  Omega Three fats will help, too. For pain, Thiamine, B12 and, Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic effects when taken together.  I know this works because I've cracked some vertebrae and this combination relieves the pain.  I was prescribed opioids, but couldn't function or poop, so... I can highly recommend these vitamins for pain relief.   I adopted a paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Improving intestinal health improves mental health because of the gut brain-axis.  Important neurotransmitter Serotonin is made in the digestive system.   Please Read... Association between dietary niacin intake and suicidal ideation: mediating role of C-reactive protein https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40859220/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      Hi Florence, thank you for clarifying — and no worries at all about late-night writing. I appreciate you explaining that you’re specifically asking about gluten cross-reactivity, particularly the proposed immune cross-reaction between alpha-gliadin and certain non-gluten foods on a gluten-free diet. It’s an interesting and often confusing topic. The Vojdani & Tarash paper you mentioned did report antibody cross-reactivity in laboratory settings, which has led to a lot of discussion in the gluten-free community. However, it’s important to note that in-vitro antibody reactions (in a lab dish) don’t always translate into clinically meaningful reactions inside the human body. At this point, major celiac research centers generally conclude that true immune cross-reactivity to non-gluten foods in people with celiac disease hasn’t been clearly demonstrated in well-controlled human studies. That said, many individuals do report symptoms with foods like corn, dairy, oats, or others, and those reactions can absolutely be real — they just may involve different mechanisms, such as food intolerance, FODMAP sensitivity, separate immune responses, or individual gut permeability differences rather than molecular mimicry of gliadin specifically. If certain foods consistently trigger symptoms for you, keeping a structured food and symptom log and discussing it with a knowledgeable gastroenterologist or dietitian may help clarify patterns. It’s a nuanced area, and your question is thoughtful — we just have to separate what’s biologically plausible in theory from what’s been conclusively demonstrated in patients.

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with such intense burning pain right now. When symptoms get that overwhelming, it can feel unbearable and even trigger really dark thoughts, and that’s a sign of just how much you’ve been carrying — not a sign of weakness. It makes sense that you’d want to go back to a lower-carb, meat-and-vegetable approach if that’s helped reduce symptoms before; sometimes dialing things back to simple, whole foods can calm inflammation or gut irritation. At the same time, your safety and mental health matter just as much as the physical symptoms. If the suicidal thoughts are feeling strong or hard to control, please consider reaching out for immediate support — in the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest emergency room if you feel at risk. You don’t have to handle this alone. It may also be worth checking in with your doctor soon to review what’s changed and see if there are adjustments or treatments that could ease the burning pain more effectively. You deserve relief, and you deserve support while you figure this out.

      By the way, a few years back Nestle launched gluten-free DiGiorno pizza which also used Codex quality wheat starch, but due to backlash from the celiac community quickly reformulated and it is now wheat-free. Personally I think it's not a good direction to go, considering the many alternatives available now.
