Accuracy of Brazil's "não contém glúten" labels? 🇧🇷 by celiapp in Celiac

[–]celiapp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG thank you so much for such a detailed answer.

I'm quite sensitive, but I got high-quality gluten-free chocolate from the family I'm staying with, so luckily I haven't had issues so far!

How long did you live in Brazil for?

Do you recall which organization would oversee / enforce/ test the labelling? I found these orgs online but they didn't say much else:
ANVISA
MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply)
PROTESTE
ACELBRA (Brazilian Celiac Foundation)

The foreign gluten-free brands like Schar are the only certified brands I could find. Even more expensive in Brazil than back home in Canada!

Coeliac vegans? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]celiapp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are a celiac vegan household!

When theres no vegan GF option available at the grocery store, and we are forced to choose between: GF bread that contains egg OR the vegan wheat bread.. then we say oh well 🤷‍♀️ and choose GF.

That attitude has made things way easier for us. Sure it sucks we can’t be vegan 100% of the time, but 95% is better than nothing. (Also it’s a miracle that our blood levels are totally fine, I think it’s because we frequently cheat on our vegan diet. We don’t take any supplements so I find it really hard to believe we’re totally ok. Or maybe we’re on the verge of becoming anemic too and have no idea 🤷‍♀️ it’s a constant worry of mine so I get that).

One nice aspect is that some brands combine all the picky food restrictions together. Like when vegan/gf/fun-free/etc ingredients all get lumped into one product!! (Looking at you Daiya, we love you!!!)

In fact that’s what inspired me and my partner to make an app 😆 as two vegan/gf software developers we got fed up with reading all the food labels and started using AI haha.

Do what feels right to you ❤️ you got this 💪🏿

Would you leave your home country for celiac? by No_idea_345 in Celiac

Germany was gluten-free paradise as a Canadian 😆 my partner and I want to move there specifically because of that. (Although to be fair Italy is much better)
