I have read contradicting information regarding, Vinegar, Vanilla Extract, Natural Flavours and Food Coloring.

Are any of these safe? After being diagnosed with Celiac I saw a dietician and the only information she could give me was Celiac.com.

Are there any other sites with legit information??

Thanks again and thank god for this site.

Melanie

P.S. I am from Canada so are products different from country to country?

Welcome :)

This is probably your best source for online, reliable information! It is frustrating that you can't get reliable info from a dietician, but I'm happy she referred you to the right place.

Yes, it can vary from country to country, esp food labeling laws.

Check out that link....it has a bunch of great info. One of them specifically addresses vinegar. Malt vinegar and apple cider FLAVORED vinegar is not safe, but I believe all others are. (apple cider vinegar is safe...just not the "flavored" one).

Vanilla is almost always safe. McCormick's vanilla extract is safe. The problem used to be the alcohol, and it is safe.

Hope this is a start....

Heinz apple cider flavored vinegar is now on their gluten free list. I'm pretty sure the brand was Heinz... Whoever owns Ore-Ida.. I think it's Heinz. It used to be on their no-no list, but now it's considered gluten free. I am in the US, I don't know if the same is true for Canada.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
