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......

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

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

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

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
