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 gluten-free too.
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.

      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...

      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 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.
