I just got a letter from Reckitt Benckiser that says:

The following products contain no Wheat, Barley, Rye or Oats:

French's Worcestershire Sauce

French's Prepared Mustards

French's Honey Mustard

Cattlemen's Barbecue sauces EXCEPT Honey Flavour

Frank's Original RedHot Sauce/Frank's Xtra Hot RedHot Sauce

Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce

Frank's RedHot Chile 'n' Lime Sauce

French's Potato Sticks (Original, Barbecue, Cheezy Cheddar)

French's GourMayo (Sun Dried Tomato, Wasabi Horseradish and Creamy Dijon)

NoSalt Salt Substitute

~the distilled vinegar in French's Mustards, French's Worcestershire Sauce, Frank's RedHot Sauces and Cattlemen's Barbecue Sauce is not derived from wheat and is therefore gluten free. It is sourced from distilled alcohol.

~the caramel color in ~Wheat and soybeans are part of one of the ingredients used in the Cattleman's Gold formula. However they are completely digested during the manufacturing process of this ingredient resulting in the complete elimination of gluten.

is not derived from wheat and is therefore gluten free.

~Wheat and soybeans are part of one of the ingredients used in the Cattleman's Gold formula. However they are completely digested during the manufacturing process of this ingredient resulting in the complete elimination of gluten.

Because product formulations may be modified occasionally, we recommend that persons on special diets always read ingredient statements carefully even on products which previously have been found acceptable.

Durkee and French's spices, seasonings, sauces and gravies are manufactured by Tone Spices. Please contact them at 800-247-5251 for information on these products.

There was a cover letter from Toronto, but the above list was provided from New Jersey, the letterhead says rev. June 2005.

I have no idea what this means ~Wheat and soybeans are part of one of the ingredients used in the Cattleman's Gold formula. However they are completely digested during the manufacturing process of this ingredient resulting in the complete elimination of gluten.

I haven't seen French's Worcestershire Sauce at Safeway, I still have to check at Superstore and Co-op.

Lea & Perrins worcestershire is gluten-free too. I'm not sure about the soy, but perhaps by the wheat being 'digested' they mean they use distilled vinegar from grain in that product??

Nice :D I've been searching for a gluten free worcestershire and haven't found one yet. I'm going to check to see if Sobey's has it today :)

Lea & Perrins worcestershire is not gluten free in Canada :( They put barley in it here.

Oooh, Sobey's. I forgot about them. Let me know if they have it.

Hey, maybe Wal-mart. If I go out and about later, I'll look around.

I looked at Sobeys and couldn't find it :( I'm going to check Walmart and Superstore. Hopefully I can find it somewhere. I have a great recipe that uses worcestershire sauce and I haven't been able to make it since I started the diet because I can't find a gluten free worcestershire sauce.

Don't bother, Carrie. I just called the 800 # on the letter to ask what stores it was available at, explained why I had to find it (gluten-free and WooHoo if it's available in Canada), and that the manager at Sobeys had never heard of it. She put me on hold for a while and when she came back she said she had good news and bad news. Bad news (you know this by now) Not available in Canada :angry: . Good news...they can mail order it. She doesn't know the shipping charges, but I figure that it would probably be cheaper for me to drive 3 hours to Montana than pay to have a $2.00 bottle of worcestershire sauce shipped to me.

Stupid not available in Canada. We are the second biggest land mass on the planet! EVERYTHING should be available in Canada. Except gluten. :P

B) I agree

It's a long drive for me to get to Calais Maine... so I'm trying to get a friend to get me some Lea & Perrins worcestershire sauce from the states. This may be my only way.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.
