The concern in this country has been the possibility of gluten peptides

surviving distillation and winding up in distilled vinegar when the source is a

gluten-containing grain. Not only is this not possible, but wheat is seldom, if

ever, used as a vinegar source. So gluten would not be found in distilled

vinegar, which is the kind you will run into almost all of the time in this

country

Even the wine vinegar in Newman's Own is probably OK for many kids, but

perhaps not for all. In any event one can make up one's own dressing with

distilled vinegar.

Jack,

I was really wondering about vinegar's effect on candida and fungus. I guess

Chelsey is clear of that stuff and remains so? We haven't been able to lick

that one yet.

a,

We haven't had candida or fungus issues with Chelsey for several years--a

blessing--and she seems to handle the vinegar easily now. In fact, she would

drown her salads with Newman's Own if we let her.

Obviously, if you're fighting that battle and are concerned about vinegar, you

should stay away from conventional dressing. You could make your own with lemon

juice in place of the vinegar.
