I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and I notice many books and software that contain lists of gluten-free foods and restaurants. However, most seem to be US specific-I know there is some cross-over with Canada but I'm sure there are different manufacturing specifics that differ as well, such as ingredients. Do any Canadians use these products? I am specifically interested in the software.

hi beerlow, and welcome to the boards. i am also canadian, and, generally, the american lists apply to us, too. some products are different, and before consuming anything new, i always contact the company. i am not sure where you are from in canada, but there are many canadians on the board here; we can help with recommendations. did you have any product questions in mind?

There is a website out there (Celiac Canada I believe it's called) and they have quite an extensive list of products that are safe. ANyone who has emailed or contacted a company can submit to have their responses posted there.

Also on the same site is a Travel section, listing gluten-free restaurants etc in all the major citites.

Hope that helps.

I have received responses from many of the products and manufacturers I was initially inquiring about. I am just trying to find as many alternatives to the health food stores as I can in order to keep costs down. It's good to see that many mainstream products are safe. I am especially impressed with Kraft's website.

beerlow, a lot of the celiac canada information is slightly outdated (it doesn't mean it is inaccurate). where do you do your mainstream grocery shopping? if it is a part of the loblaw's corporation (IE zehrs, loblaws, superstore, they have a natural food section.

I do some at Safeway and may start doing more at Superstore...I also do a lot at a local grocery store whose owner will order specific items for me. So far he has ordered French's Worcestershire sauce(gluten free-nut fre too I hope!) and is trying to get the Enjoy Life line of products as well(I love their cookies and cereal). I am in a nut free house as well so that gives us further difficulty.

Does anyone know if there is a problem with Woodman's horseradish?

I bought and downloaded the Clan Thompson Samrtlist last night...a terrific program...I still double check on a lot of manufacturers but it gives me a good starting point in finding food at mainstream grocery stores. Much easier ont he pocket book!!!

My Superstore has a large Natural Foods selection - although most are overpriced, it's good in a pinch. I am not sure about that horseradish. I am not sure about the sauce, but I know French's mustards are, so I assume that everything they have might be gluten-free. You might want to call and verify.

I was quote excited last night when I saw that Superstore had some President's Choice gluten free/nut-free cereals. Our little guy has severe nut allergies and most gluten free cereals have nuts or traces of nuts. I thought I was going to be eating my breakfast at the office from here on through!!

Isn't it great when you can find a product like that. I don't know what part of the country you are in, but Save-On Foods has a good gluten-free selection.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
