    During our visit to Louisiana this weekend, we stumbled across something
that may help celiacs:

    "Cane vinegar"  There is nothing on the label that would indicate any
gluten ingredients.  Totally natural product with no artificial colors or
flavors.  They also make cane syrup and molasses with similar labeling.   It
is produced by The C.S. Steen Syrup Mill, Inc.  P.O. Box 339  (119 N Main
St.)  Abbeville, LA 70510   Phone# 318-893-1654.   They also have a web page
address:  http://www.steensyrup.com  They have mail order and gift packages.
    I have not contacted the company yet to confirm gluten free status but
it seems like this could be a good alternative to regular vinegars as long
as they don't use a starter mash that contains gluten.
