<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> A couple of recent posts seemed to suggest that we should be concerned about any distilled vinegar made from a grain and one even said nobody anywhere should ingest distilled vinegar but rather should use it for cleaning. 1. I'd be curious where the information about never ingesting distilled vinegar came from. Distilled vinegar is in many, many processed foods and as far as I know is not damaging people. I have a large bottle of it and occasionally use it in recipes or to boil shrimp. I do prefer the taste of apple cider vinegar, but either can be ingested. 2. Remember that when questioning distilled vinegar made from grain (I personally don't question it but I'm not going there), the only grains about which there is any concern at all are wheat and barley. The vast majority of distilled vinegar is made from a non-gluten source (corn for instance) and is ALWAYS safe. richard *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
