Aaron, Im a three hour drive north of you, so don't really know what is specifically in London. What I do know, though, is that really the only places you can get things like good rice bread are usually health food stores.

This is a link to a site with the addresses of two health food stores in London. The Canada 411 site is down right now, I tried to check there. You might want to check it tomorrow.

I couldn't find anything in St. Thomas, again, because Canada 411 is down.

Also, if you have a Garden IGA, or a Sobeys, they carry Tinkyada pasta (cheaper than in the health food store), and may even have gluten-free breads. They do have Bob's Red Mill products as well, which will enable you to bake your own stuff. Just make sure you only buy their gluten-free products (they produce food that isn't gluten-free as well). And they have cookies. Check out their health food section, or ask a manager or one of the people who work in the bakery department.

The health food store will also have all kinds of mixes, and gluten-free flours, and probably gluten-free cookbooks.

Aaron, do you have a Loblaws Superstore? They usually have gluten-free items. Also, the Great Canadian Superstore near me has a huge selection of gluten-free items..... do you have one of those in your area?

Be sure to look in the frozen sections of your supermarket - the Kinnickinnick breads and stuff are always in the frozen section......

try the good ol' world wide web....amazon .com usually has some good deals :) good luck!

also, don't forget about regular grocery store items (rice, meat, veggies, etc...) that are naturally gluten-free!!!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:
