Confused About Condiments


Bev111

Recommended Posts

I have a list of condiments. Can you tell me if I should be worried about any of these.

Beef Broth, Bar B Q sauce, salsa, Mollases, corn syrup, icing sugar, white vinegar, tomatoe paste, malt vinegar, chocolate and also Presco Wine, Lemonade Concentrate, Lemoncello, quava juice.

I have my food down but don;t know if Gluten is snecking into my diet from different condiments.

I know that malt vinegar is NOT okay, barely malt is usually the source. Make sure to check Beef Broth and BBQ sauce, some are okay and some are not. The other things are usually okay, but not always. Read the ingredients and beyond the obvious gluten ingredients, remember that natural and artificial flavors sometimes contain gluten. If in doubt Google the specific product for or call the company.

In short, yes you need to worry about these types of items. People new to the gluten-free diet often overlook these items at first. :)

Beef Broth can have barley in it so check the label. Pacific is a good brand.

BBQ sauce can have wheat in it so read the label. Sweet Baby Rays is a good brand.

Malt Vinegar is not gluten-free.

Chocolate can have barley in it so read the label.

Don't recall seeing a salsa with gluten in it but it wouldn't hurt to read the label.

Some enchilada sauces have wheat so maybe a salsa could. Many beef & chicken broths & boullions have wheat. Read the ingredients & check websites.

I think what you really need to do is learn to read labels so you can figure this out for yourself.

Differing brands have vastly different ingredients and, unless you post all of the ingredients for these products, no one here will know for sure either. Calling companies to verify gluten-free status is something we all need to do from time to time so you may want to try that.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
