Celiac Disease
The Canadian Celiac Association estimates that 1 out of every 133 people in Canada are affected by celiac disease. Celiac disease is a gastrointestinal intolerance to food products that contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale.
It is challenging to live with because of the high number of foods that include gluten, baked products being the most challenging.
Celiac and Canola oil
Pure canola oil is gluten free and non-allergenic. Canola can be grown in rotation with wheat, rye, barley or triticale but the seed is always cleaned before processing.
After crushing, canola oil is refined and tested for any detectable levels of gluten proteins. Canola oil is a great choice for a healthy diet because it’s the lowest in saturated fat, has a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and is trans fat and cholesterol free.

The Manitoba Canola Growers has their new recipe book that contains gluten free baking recipes. The booklet contains two different types of bread, brownies, donuts and many more.
