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:

      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

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      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:
