I personally would not recommend Toronto but then again I am biased.

I think Rusla means she is just biased against Toronto.

I really enjoyed the Science Center. Niagra Falls is also very fun and it's only about 2 hours from Toronto.

I was going to suggest the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), the CN Tower. I am from Niagara, so if you do come here, there is tonnes to see.

Yes, food and activites :)

I started looking in our Triple AAA book too. But sometimes they put things in there that will bore one to tears.

A Blue Jays game! I went to one in middle school and it's the only thing I remember from my only trip to Toronto. :)

That's saying a lot since I blocked out the majority of middle school :P

casa loma, kensington market/china town, hockey hall of fame, metro toronto zoo, canada's wonderland (meh, close enough :P) all have kiddy things to do. Well, I guess not so much casa loma and the markets, but they're nice to look at. Also, as people have said, the science centre and ROM are good. There's also medieval times.

If you come in summer there are tons of street festivals and evets.

Yes, hubby and two kids, ages 2 and 7 are going too. I think maybe in later June or mid July to go.

This is really great to read your reccomendations! Keep them coming.

Wild Water Kingdom

Ontario Place

Have fun!

You are right. I do not like Ontario and I never found it a fun place. A fun place is BC. That is a place I would call a holiday, all the time.

Oh wait! I forgot to add one:

Centreville: It is on Centre Island at the Toronto waterfront - you have to take a ferry to get there and the ferry ride was a real blast for the kids!

If you're looking for some great restaurants in Toronto that offer gluten-free fare, try this site:

Open Original Shared Link

It lists heaps of restaruants that provide gluten-free options. Check out "Il Fornello", an Italian restaraunt that offers gluten free pasta, pizza, bruchetta. I've wanted to check it out for ages, but the last time I was there, they were booked solid. :(

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
