I realize it is a personal decision...so I guess I can try and eat the kraut for a week or two and see what happens. If I notice that people are running away from me...I can make the conclusion that I am breeding bad bacteria and should stay away from the vinegar, right??? :) Thank you for your answer.

Vinegar does harness bacteria because of the fermentation process that it goes through when being made. With that being said the bacteria is not necessarily bad, considering the whole idea behind this articles topic (sauerkraut) was bacteria. A lot of people actually believe that vinegar aids in digestion. With regards to the gluten free this may not be a complete answer to your question but might help make some sense. Vinegar can be made putting wheat starch under the fermentation process. It is debated that the fermented starch still carries gluten which can be a reason for this claim that you should avoid it if you are gluten-free. There hasn't been any definitive scientific evidence to prove either way so you may have to make a personal decision with that. Hope that helps!
