Help! Looking For Canadian Gluten Free Product List

I am a very newly diagnosed celiac and I am looking for a Canadian gluten free product list. I was lucky to find one but it is from 2004 and I think it's for US products and I know some of the products are made differently in Canada. If anyone has any information I could really use it.

There is not an up to date list, really. The Hamilton chapter has stuff on their site, but it's quite old. Are you looking for certain things? I can help you, I'm sure.

One thing I am having trouble finding is a gluten free Worchestershire Sauce. I know the Lea & Perrins in the US is gluten-free but not in Canada because it is made with malt vinegar. I don't even know of another company that makes it.

Unfortunately, there isn't one. The Lea & Perrins in the US is gluten-free, so if you have any US friends, have them send one up to you......

Edwards and Sons is gluten-free and they sell it here.

I use "The Wizard's" Organic Wheat-free Vegan Worchestershire sauce (made by Edward and Sons). Their site says it's gluten-free.

I certainly missed Worchestershire, and this one has lots of flavor.

Thanks for the tip, hopefully I'll be able to find it. Otherwise I'll just get my brother that lives in Boston to send me a case of Lea&Perrins.

I haven't founda complete list anywhere. However,. companies change their products so even if a complete list existed, it might not be accurate.

I've looked at different websites- eg Kraft, Pillers, etc. - to get the info that we need. Plus, we've had to call alot of the 1-800 numbers too.

It took some time to become familiar with the products that were safe and to know which products we needed to avoid. Sometimes we've gotten a little lazy recently and haven't checked the labels- DH just bought a package of Hot Kid rice crackers that were not gluten-free. We forgot to check because their crackers are usually safe. This incident made us realize that we need to always read the labels.

Shelley Case's book (The Gluten-Free Diet) has info about quite a few gluten-free products available in Canada.

Good luck,

Suzie

Yes the site says April 12th is the pre-registration deadline. The workshop is very affordable ($10 for CCA members, $15 for non-members) but the lunch is a bit pricey ($30)

I am SOOOO excited! I live right around the corner from the Burlington Convention Centre!! A GLUTEN-FREE BUFFET?!!?!? That is my dream! Buffets are the one thing that I've missed most since going gluten-free! I bought Shelley Case's book to help me get going properly with this diet and she's speaking there! I find this so amazing! Thanks for letting us know!

Dear kali_mist,

I did a search on Google and found the site simplicity66 has on here. I am in the U.S., but bookmarked it for future use. Canada should have had more of these lists, you would think. Anyway, the penny site has a lot of products listed. The mainstream brands on there like Borden are great to have info on.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
