Thank you very much for the list. It is so difficult trying to figure out if a product that is safe in the U.S. is safe here.

no problem :) I've had this list since February and just noticed it was online last night, so I thought I'd share it with everyone. It is a great resource since some products are different in Canada than the US, like Lea and Perrins Worcester sauce for example.

Carriefaith, what kind of worcestershire sauce do you use since Lea & Perrins is off limits?

And thanks for the great "soft, chewy breadstick" recipe you posted a while back. We love it! Had some yesterday...I think my in-laws were impressed with the gluten-free meal they had when they came for Ty's birthday, even though it was nothing special. Speaking of those breadsticks, time for a snack.

Thanks! I'm glad everyone is enjoying them :) They are like "real" breadsticks.

I actually haven't been able to find a gluten free worcestershire sauce where I live. I have a really good recipe that uses worcestershire sauce so I am getting a friend who travels to the USA a lot to get some Lea & Perrins for me. Do you know of any safe brands in Canada?

No, I don't know of a gluten-free Worchestershire sauce off hand, I'm at work, so I don't have my duotang of lists. I think I might check President's Choice if they have one, because their soy sauce is gluten-free. I'd have to drive down to Montana to get L&P, and I'm not willing to do that. I did send an email to Lea & Perrins asking them why it was gluten-free in the states and not in Canada, but I haven't gotten a response yet.

Now I have a project for tomorrow while the kids are at school.

PS the dog got the last of the bread sticks and without my permission...what a brat!

Our Lea & Perrins is the same recipe as the UK version. It's like Smirnoff Ice in Canada is made without malt, but in the U.S. with malt. Apparently we have more European tastebuds? Really is Presidents Choice soy sauce gluten free?

  Really is Presidents Choice soy sauce gluten free?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My Celiac association says it is, but I have to admit that I have never checked. I use VH Soy sauce. It is clearly labelled and in the bold allergen list as the end it says "contains: soy".

Drat Lea & Perrins! They still haven't responded to my email. Nor have I received my response from Parmalat yet. I'll have to get on them. I am a valued consumer.

Presidents Choice soy sauce is not gluten-free.

There is a mistake on the Canadian Products list. According to the Lactaid website only two products are gluten-free, but the list says that all Lactaid products are gluten-free.

Felidae's right, it's not President's Choice that's gluten-free, it's the No Name brand, yellow label with green (I think) printing that's available at Superstore.

I hope no one bought it because I was steering you in the wrong direction.

Really? Wow... I should point that out to them. Thanks for telling us. I guess that's proof to always double check your sources.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
