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. :(

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
