Perhaps lost in all the replies that Gina so kindly posted about Sweet Baby
Ray's are two things -- Sweet Baby Rays is definitely GF (even the
distilled vinegar is from corn, NOT wheat). If you are reacting to SBR (as
she is and others have), it's almost certainly because of the corn or
acidity or whatever.

The second is, no matter how you feel about the distilled vinegar question,
which I will not argue one way or the other, virtually ALL distilled
vinegar is made from corn or wood, NOT from wheat. If you are avoiding
distilled vinegar just because you fear gluten in it, you are missing a lot
of things you could be eating. Call the manufacturer and ask them the
source of the vinegar.

Just so it's clear -- I do not doubt that some people have trouble with
vinegar, and it's obvious those people should avoid it. But avoiding all
distilled vinegar because of a fear of gluten is simply not necessary.

cheers and good eating

PS -- One person mentioned apple cider flavored vinegar. Yes, some do add
flavor in and it always says "flavored." Avoid them. Heinz even tells
people to avoid their apple cider "flavored" vinegar, although their apple
cider vinegar is fine.
