With the specific exception of malt vinegar, which will always be labeled as that, "malt vinegar," vinegar is gluten-free.

Ok good don't know what kind but it just says Vinegar on label. I looked up the other ingredients didn't see anything that looked suspicious but I'm new to this so I have no idea what I'm doing anyway all I know is all Ive had today is a Gluten Free Bagel with Chicken salad bought out of the Deli at out Publix grocery store. Then I had 1 Gluten free Cookie and a Banana. I've been starting to feel pretty good up until this afternoon.

The deli doesn't add bread crumbs to the chicken salad? The one near my house does....

Though I have read that vinegars are fine except malt vinegars, some rice wine vinegar contains gluten (I have seen a few brands in a specialty ethnic store in Canada that actually had "wheat" on the label). Most are fine, though, but still wise to check.

In the US, the single word "vinegar" listed as an ingredient is apple cider vinegar. It is likely distilled, but even if it isn't, apples are gluten-free.

Where did you find information that "vinegar" in the US is apple cider vinegar? I looked up Hellmann's mayonnaise, and it lists "vinegar" in the ingredients. The Best Foods website says, "The vinegar in Hellmann

Was this chicken salad specifically labeled gluten free ? Because who knows what was really in it. They could have marinated the chicken meat before cooking it, etc. And what about the work surfaces the bagel was exposed to, etc, in terms of cross contamination.

No it was not labeled gluten-free It was a mixed Chicken salad out of the deli it was in a little plastic container labeled Chunky white chicken breast with herbal dressing. There was also an ingredient label. I toasted my gluten-free bagel in our toaster at work. I wasn't around any other bread or anything at the time.

This is weird I feel better this morning. I actually had to take one of my husband Hydroxyzine's and knock myself out. I was itching so bad.. I still have D so I couldn't go by that since I had only been gluten-free for 5 days another thing strange that happened that I noticed was my lips were tingling when I was eating. I swear I'm falling apart.

Did you put it in a toaster bag, or on foil, or use some other method to make sure it wasn't touching the metal racks that all the other toast touches?

You can't use the same toaster for gluten free bread that others are using for gluten bread. You need a dedicated toaster.

If the deli uses any gluten containing ingredients in anything else there is a high chance of CC in it. Better to make your own at home than buy store made.

Whats a toaster bag? No I did not use foil I stuck it in our toaster/oven to be toasted. It has to touch the metal to sit down in there.

What have I done??

OK I messed up. I guess I better get my own toaster oven for work. I'm sure the boss wont care he is very nice and has his own issues.

I can make my own no problem. I guess I thought if I didn't see the word wheat or Gluten I was OK a lot of the ingredients I did not understand so I Googled but still didn't quite understand but because none said wheat or Gluten I still thought I was OK.

I thought I was ok with some vegetable stir fry as there was no gluten or wheat in the ingredients (only vegetables). However I later found that it was not suitable for those on a wheat or gluten free diet due to the methods used in manufacture. I wondered why I was feeling off after eating it. I was beginning to think it was the mushrooms or something and that I had another food sensitivity...

I think its easier to buy fresh stuff and make your own lol

With the itching and lip tingling swelling it sounds like a histamine response more than a gluten reaction to me. You are fairly new in the recovery process so you will have to learn about all the ways of being cross-contaminated and where trace gluten can hide. But sometimes there is something else going on, and as Celiacs, we are prone to secondary intolerances. I spent most of the last year experimenting with what could cause continuing problems as I was stricly gluten free and never ate anything made by anyone but me. Well, recently I discovered that histamine containing foods cause me to have reactions. They would cause the itching you described and also would be relieved by the hydroxyzine. I'm on a low histamine diet in addition to being gluten free. It wasn't nightshades, after all...nor many of the other things I thought it was. Keep searching for your culprit. But I just wanted to pop in here and let you know that Vinegar is a histamine food. I can't have it either...but it is definitely not due to gluten. Check out Histamine foods if you continue to have reactions you can't pin down to gluten or other intolerances. It's made a big difference for me.

      Is Ka'Chava Gluten-Free?

      I contacted the company and they explained that the barley ingredient is taken from barley sprouts, not the mature grain head seeds. The sprouts do not contain gluten. Gluten production comes at a later stage in the plant's development. This is science. Some of you who are reacting to this product may be reacting to other ingredients and not gluten or...

      Tapioca Intolerance?

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that com...

      Is Ka'Chava Gluten-Free?

      I found this comment section somewhat toxic by a few of the folks. My family has been consuming Ka’chava for the last two years. I am the only one with celiac in our house. I would enjoy a smoothie twice a week, only because every time it would rip apart my guts. I figured it was due to some of the greens, etc in the blend. As various products/supplements w...

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      Hi Everyone, I recently purchased this wheatgrass not realizing that it wasn’t gluten free. I had two servings before I got really sick. Abdominal cramps , diarrhea and horrible nausea. My daughter read the label and told me it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I thought this was safe because supposedly it’s healthy. I called WholeFoods and they told ...

      Black Pepper Reactions

      Yes, unfortunately I was diagnosed about 15 years ago. Some of us I guess the gut never heals and from what I've learned you can actually have a setback which is probably the stage I am at where I actually have become more sensitive to more items.

      Tapioca Intolerance?

      By Dulcita · Posted

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that companies that focus on gluten-free foods use a lot of tapioca. If a certain product doesn’t have any tapioca ingredients, they see no reason to list tapioca or its relatives in the “known allergens” or the “produced in a facility that also uses …..” statement — because it hasn’t been designated a known allergen.  They probably don’t even feel it necessary to apply the kind of Best Practices protocols (extra cleaning) to a production line that may have used tapioca in a previous product. So we may be ingesting tapioca when we are eating something, seemingly tapioca free, produced in a gluten-free dedicated facility. Really discouraging.

My daughter read the label and told me it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I thought this was safe because supposedly it’s healthy. I called WholeFoods and they told me that they can find out more about the product and email me when it was picked and harvested. I was diagnosed back in 2019 and I really should know better! Anyone else had a reaction to wheatgrass powder?

      Black Pepper Reactions

      By Blue Roan · Posted

      Hi Emily! I was just diagnosed a year ago and could not touch nuts, corn (or anything with corn-based ingredients), lactose, or black pepper in the first 8 or so months. Otherwise I had a lot of abdominal discomfort, dizziness/vertigo (especially with corn and pepper) and inflammation throughout the body. I was pretty much eating plain cooked veggies and chicken for the first few months because they were safe and reliable.  Over time, I have slowly started to tolerate some of the no-no foods, but my system is still sensitive to the pepper and has a limit to corn/lactose before symptoms occur. When you’re first diagnosed, you will likely be sensitive to a lot of other foods because your gut is healing from the damage and your body needs to reset. I find that keeping a food diary  and only slowly introducing other foods back into your diet over time is helpful. It is frustrating to feel so limited, but give it some time and patience. It can take the gut years to fully heal in many cases.

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      By Blue Roan · Posted

      Hi there, I am 30 and was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago after a series of severe “unexplained” abdominal episodes. Everything is improving and I am feeling so much better overall except my cycle is worse. Has anyone else had a similar experience?  I got my period as a pre-teen and my cycles have been regular for as long as I can remember: every 21 days, lasting 5 days. My periods were heavy and I always had severe cramping at the start that subsided after the first two days.  I went gluten-free immediately when I was diagnosed in February. At first, my cycles were the same but around July, I started noticing very crazy symptoms around that time of the month: chills all over the body, severe headaches, some hot flashes, dry mouth and then cramps starting a few days earlier than usual. My cycles also started happening later and later. This time around, I’m on Day 35 and no period so far, but still cramping/abdominal pain/nausea on and off for the past week. It has been feeling like it’s about to happen any minute but nothing. I even get the pelvic contractions/pains but nothing after. I cannot sleep from all the hormonal fluctuations and chills. I can confirm I am not pregnant.  I’ve seen the endocrinologist, OBGYN, primary, and multiple gastro doctors throughout the year. No IBD ( but possible IBS), thyroid panel normal, thyroid ultrasound normal, negative for Hashimoto’s. I had a full vitamin panel and all levels normal (no anemia or vitamin B deficiency). After some testing, the gyn thinks PCOS is highly unlikely and that my body is “still adjusting” to going gluten-free. I’ve been strict gluten-free for nearly a year though.   All of my regular labs are normal and my antibodies are on a downward trend. I am really confused because more of my research points to the gluten-free diet resulting in better cycles rather than the opposite. While my cycles are not as heavy, they’re more unpredictable and uncomfortable with all these new symptoms.
