<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Since several people have written to me already regarding their reactions to vinegar (not only white vinegar) can I (mad impetuous fool that I am :-) offer to take the straw poll that I suggested. Since it is clear that some coeliacs have reactions to vinegars which OUGHT to be GF, could people let me know a) do they have a reaction from "white" distilled vinegar. b) do they have a reaction from other vinegar and if so which c) do they find themselves to be a sensitive or an insensitive coeliac (this might give a very rough idea of how much gluten could be present in the vinegar). d) which countries they have had reactions in (or not as the case may be) To make this meaningful I do need lots of people from BOTH ther sensitive and the insensitive groups to let me know their answers. I will then put a short report on the list. Those who have already written to me about this don't need to repeat (unless you have something more to add). I still have all your e-mails.
