Hi!

Another Canadian here...from Ottawa!

Other than the expense, I never really have difficulty finding food that I can eat. I usually go to the Natural Food Pantry, either in the market, or in Billings Bridge. They usually have good stuff there. Loblaws natural food section also carries good stuff that is gluten-free/CF, etc. Oh, while on the topic, I found some imitation cheese slices that are: gluten free/lactose free/soy free/caesin free at the Natural Food Pantry in Billings. Anyone else found/tried them? I ate a slice yesterday and nearly gagged. boo :(

Another newbie and another Canadian (Guelph, ON). Glad to see there are quite a few of us here - helps esp. with finding info about stores, product brands that are different from our American friends'.

I have already found a wealth of information and support offered within this forum, and see it as a valuable tool to helping me start the path to wellness. :)

Here in the Maritimes we have Superstore and they carry a great gluten free rice cheese. I buy the mozarella flavoured one. The company brand name is Galaxy Nutritional Foods. It comes in 227 g. block. and is found in the organic dairy cooler. Great in grilled cheese sandwiches using Kinnikinnick Sunflower and Flax seed Rice bread. I use olive oil in the pan and grill the bread on med to low so that the cheese melts and the bread turns out a nice golden colour. Also a good pizza cheese.

I noticed this thread hasn't actually been posted for a while but I thought I would say hi anyways. I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada and I was just diagnosed this morning with Celiac Disease. I was online doing a bit of research (I won't be seeing a nutritionist for at least three months unless I admit myself into the hospital, and that just ain't gonna happen) to see what I can do for myself, what to avoid and so on, when I came across this site. It's been very informative and has helped with how incredibly overwhelmed I feel at the moment. I was out shopping with my mom this afternoon trying to find some food that I can eat, and it just become so clear to me how different my life has to be from now on. I'm an admitted Diet Coke junkie and I've read a few posts about how Diet Coke has gluten in the caramel coloring..yikes! Such a lifestyle adjustment. Anyways, good to say hi. Talk to you all later!

[Welcome, I am Canadian also (Toronto). Double check the caramel issue. I believe diet coke is o.k because caramel in Canada/U.S is gluten free or must be labelled with gluten if it is in the product. Let us know how it goes.

From what I have read on this site. You'll probably find more information here than from a nutritionist, unless they specialize in celiac disease.

I am a Canadian currently in Thunder Bay - the Land of the Sleeping Giant. I was diagnosed approx. 2 months ago from a suggested colonoscopy by my oncologist. Since then I have been experimenting and have come up with some neat alternatives to my old recipes. In order for me to cope I had to gain control over the disease and not the other way around. Sometimes it is a struggle with whose controlling who....but I think I am winning so far.....I have only been at it 2 months but it feels good.

Hi, I am living in Brantford, Ontario. (We've tried moving to Alberta and New Brunswick but both didn't work out due to job issues. Too bad. I don't like Ontario.)

Just found out that there is a Whole Foods in Oakville which is about 45 minutes from here. Yeah!! I can't wait to go and check it out. Meanwhile, I am finding more and more places that sell gluten free. One of the Zehrs here in Brantford just added a whole section. I made sure I personally thanked the manager.

And if you are ever in Brantford and need a restaurant to go to on a Friday or Saturday night, my daughter (who is in University so only works part time -- Friday and Saturdays) works at Moose Winooskis so anytime anyone comes in with gluten intolerance/celiac, the other staff call my daughter over and say "There's someone here who has what your Mom has." My daughter is very knowledgeable about the gluten free diet (also casein free) and she will make sure you get taken care of. :)

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
