O.K. the Dominion grocery store by my house in Mississauga (ON, Canada) is carrying gluten-free items!!! This makes everything sooooo much easier. They started renovating the store during summer. Last week I went into the store and there was a bunch of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flours in the baking section. I was jumping up and down in the aisle, lol. I walked throgh the store and found gluten-free breakfast bars in the snack section too. Then today I decided to walk through the frozen foods section and what did I find? Kinnicinik (spelling?) bagels, bread, hamburger buns, english muffins, waffles... I am in heaven!!! I nearly cried.... I was soo happy. I just finished eating a sesame seed bagel with almond-cashew butter... yum! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Congrats Trish! I get excited too as my supermarket in the area is beginning to carry gluten free items. They now carry the Bobs gluten free.. but they mistakenly but all the gluten free flours on the shelf.. right next to a bag of Bobs Vital Wheat Gluten. UMMMM .. ok they arent fully informed yet. My b/f works for the company and is a major advocate of gluten free food for me.. and he will be mentioning that shortly!

Again Trish.. Congrats!! :D I hope they get bigger and bigger for you!!!

Which Dominion in Mississauga??? The one at Applewood Plaza doesn't from what I could see. I asked a girl working in the aisle and she started backing away from me like I had some sort of contagious disease....

That's great Trish! My Zehr's started up a whole gluten-free section when reorganizing a few months ago. But because I really can't eat any of those I make myself sick eating them sometimes, it's just too tempting.

You know Stephanie, I don't think they put those things together by mistake. My Sobee's store has all the Bob's Red Mill together too, whether they are gluten-free or not. They have them because it makes money, not because they actually care for people with celiac disease.

My Zehr's store also has gluten-free items and other diet items side by side. All they think is 'diet', and MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!, not how they can really be helpful.

Even my health food store, which started carrying gluten-free food last year, has those items together. And the owner is supposed to be a nutritionist and does consultations! I'd never recommend her to anybody with celiac disease, that's for sure.

Must be nice :P Someone in Saskatchewan needs to get the brains of anyone east and west of us so I too can someday find all the gluten-free stuff i eat at a local store, and dont have to travel at least 2 1/2 hours to buy food :lol:

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      @Jmartes71, Been here. It's okay. You're not imagining things, but there's no bugs or parasites in your skin. The cats are not infecting you with anything. That's a hyperkeratotic plug that builds up in a hair follicle which does go deep and is attached by the hair sheath that looks stringy. It's a type of thing seen commonly in Dermatitis...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?

      Hello everyone! I am very glad to be a part of this group. I want to share a bit about my celiac journey and hear from you as well. I was diagnosed when I was around 19-20 with a confirmed blood test and biopsy. I am now 28 and since my diagnosis, I have been strictly gluten-free. I have discovered over the years many new intolerances to foods, not to mention bad joint pain and skin issues, which led me to going on the carnivore diet. I don't eat dairy, sugar, or grains, except for rice/rice flour crackers, which seems to be the only substitute I can tolerate. I feel pretty good most of the time, but every so often I have what I consider to be a "celiac flare", which always follows the same pattern: I get a mild stomachache that gets progressively worse, followed by nausea, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain that lasts hours. What is strange to me is that I didn't have as severe symptoms as I do now before my celiac diagnosis, when I still actively eating gluten, even though I felt crummy and had synotoms. Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? I am so careful with what I eat and I never eat out. As I was looking around on the forum here, I found a post where someone asked about airborne gluten and subsequent reactions. My mom likes to feed the birds bread, and I was helping her toss bread around. Could even touching gluten or breathing it in result in a reaction like what I had? I wash my hands and keep everything separated in the kitchen, of course. It is just very frustrating, because I am so careful and when I have these flares, the pain is debilitating. Any advice or experiences you have had would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.
