I don't know what the "VH" stands for but does anyone know if this brand is on the safe list ? In Canada Extra Foods (and probably Superstore) carries it. I looked at it the other day & I noticed that it's lower sodium soy sauce doesn't list wheat - is it safe ? They have a variety of other sauces.

The yellow Extra Foods brand doesn't have wheat listed either BUT I think I get a reaction from it. I usually avoid all of the yellow brand stuff anyway because they don't list cross contamination ever - and I'm not phoning for every product ! Fortunately, in Canada, this should change soon...

VH is owned by ConAgra, and they have ConAgra's policy that any gluten will be clearly listed in the ingredients. The majority of VH sauces are gluten-free, including their regular and reduced-sodium soy sauces.

VH products are, to the best of my knowledge, only sold in Canada.

Yahoo ! Another safe product...

I contact companies all the time. It makes me feel better knowing what is safe and what is not. There are a lot of foods that I thought I couldn't eat, but I can! Lots of companies have allergy information on their websites, others I email. There are very few companies that I have had to call. I'm sometimes surprised to see the huge amount of information that is available to us. eg. Safeway will email or mail you list of Safeway brand Gluten-free foods that is about 6 pages long. Nothing wrong with being proactive!

Double check the Teriyaki Sauce. There is nothing on the label to indicate gluten, but when I called a few months ago I was told it was NOT gluten-free.

They do have a website with recipes, etc. but I can't remember off hand if they have a gluten free list/ingredient list on the site.

 In 2015 I contacted them and they PM me on FB and told me ALL their products are gluten free. Over the last few months I have been using their Teriyaki sauce and have become so sick (it manifest in my skin) but because they told me it was gluten free and it states GLUTEN FREE on their labels I believed something else was effecting my Celia disease.  I stopped using the sauce and now my symptoms are subsiding. I do not think it is gluten free as they say it is.

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not alone in this—we’ve all had those ‘why me?’ moments. Sending hugs (and solidarity) your way.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there could still be internal damage occurring, so it might be worth verifying the brand’s ingredients or contacting the manufacturer for clarity. In the future, sticking to certified gluten-free options or cider-based radlers could be a safer bet. Glad you’re feeling okay, but always better to err on the side of caution!
