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.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
