Hi all, newbie questions.

I noticed Heinz catsup is gluten-free - thank you!

Here are my ??

1. Substitute for white vinegar

2. Substitute for flour to thicken sauces (roux)

3. gluten-free hamburgers? Recipe?

4. gluten-free sausage? This is one of the only things my 2 1/2 yr old likes

5. Is cream (1/2 n 1/2, whipping cream, etc) gluten-free? Or is there a brand that is?

I very much appreciate the help. I know I can call the 800 numbers tomorrow, but am trying to plan for the week coming up and no one's open today.

Thank you!

apple cider vinegar

corn starch works great to thicken sauces

hamburger meat is gluten-free, just make your patties... I like Kinnikinick gluten-free hamburger buns

applegate farms makes gluten-free sausages, but I'm not so crazy about them. I'm sure there are some other brands of sausage that are gluten-free, I just don't know what they are.

as far as I know, all cream is gluten-free, like 1/2 & 1/2 ... but I could be wrong. I use Horizon Organics creams and other dairy products.

Here's what I've found-

1. Heinz - distilled white vinegar and apple cider(not apple flavored)

2. Cornstarch is a GREAT thickener(I use it alot) you can also use a Gluten Free all purpose flour

3. like nini said hamburger is gluten free.

As was said in the previous posts cornstarch is a great thickener

As for whipped cream..look at Kraft they do not hide anything.

For thickening I like cornstarch for some things, but not for others. It's great for puddings, or for clear broth-based gravies.

For a roux however (butter or fat-based gravy) I prefer a mix; 2/3 Asian rice flour and 1/3 bean flour (I use Great Northern Bean flour, but garfava or whatever will work too). This will not only result in a more flour-like roux (it bonds well with the fats and the end product is not as gelatinous as corn starch) but it is also more nutritious (rice and beans in combination contain all the amino acids required for your body to make protein).

I quite frequently use potato flour for a thickener. Especially for gravies. It has the same flavour as the potatoes and I think a better texture. I also use it to thicken soup :P

All white vinegar is gluten-free. Avoid malt vinegar.

Cream is gluten-free.

Most sausages are in fact gluten-free. If you haven't already seen your favorite listed here, call the company and ask.

I agree about the flour mixture instead of cornstarch for a roux.

I've used both Potato Starch and Tapioca Flour successfully to make a roux. I use them 1:1 as you would regular flour.

Thank you so much to everyone. I must admit, the thought of changing our diets FOREVER terrified me a week ago. Each of you has been so open, honest, and kind that I'm beginning to have hope, and realize that I can do this.

Thank you for supporting me, I really needed it.

PS I'm amazed at how rotten the withdrawal was (pounding headaches) but how good my tummy feels!

      Conflicting results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      Permanent Floating & Undigested Stools for a Year

      By Dora77 · Posted

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      Status Update...

      By TerryinCO · Posted

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
