Okay you BC bunch. If you know of any good gluten-free restaurants in Victoria it would be appreciated if you can post the names for me. Also, has any one ate at the "The Joint" on Wharf street it is a pizza place that boasts of alternative pizza including wheat /gluten-free.

Thanks!

Rusla!!! It's so great to see you :wub:

I haven't been to Victoria in a couple of years now, and when I was there either Mert's cousin did the cooking, or my Celiac daughter. So not much help.

Was having ice cream Sundaes at Dairy Queen though :lol:

Are you going for holiday, or moving there?

I got this from the Victoria association last summer. There's more for Nanaimo and Central/North Island. PM me with your email address and I'll send a WORD document if you'd like.

Wow! this is great Linda, thanks. I am staying at the Marriott.

Shirley, I will more than likely wish I was moving there. I am only going for 3 day to a conference. I will probably cry when I come back. If I win the lottery I am moving to BC. It is funny I was born and raised in Alberta but my heart belongs to BC, in Canada. It also belongs to a few Carribean countries too.

If you are after gluten free snacks and cooking supplies I believe there is a health food store called Lifestyles on Douglas St heading out of the city centre as well.

Rusla ... is the conference being held at the Empress? A nurses conference??? I have a Celiac friend in Trail who is going to a conference there! She's an OR nurse. In fact I just had coffee with her today in Trail.

Victoria is beautiful, you will not want to go back for sure :P But you will enjoy the three days!

Olive Grove

4496 W Saanich Rd.

479-9361

Superb choice for dining gluten-free

gluten-free pasta & pizza plus so many other gluten-free menu choices; $$

I do NOT recommend this restaurant for celiacs, unless you are willing to pay a LOT of money, or receive terrible customer service. I ordered gluten free pizzas over the phone to pick-up and was told the price of the pizza (2-for-1 special), upon pick-up I was told that gluten free pizza's were not considered for the 2-for-1 special and would have to pay extra. A LOT extra. I was given the option to pay for both, or pay for only one and get only one, with absolutely no understanding or consideration for their mistake. The WORST customer service I have ever received and will never go back.

For up-to-date information on Victoria, you can always check www.victoriaceliac.org

There are lists of restaurants and grocery stores that have gluten-free food.

As for the Olive Grove, I have found them to be very accomodating. They even give you gluten-free rice crackers and hummus instead of bread to start.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      Yes. And then it will become part of her medical record, which was my point.

      Gluten and short-term memory.

      By miguel54b · Posted

      I got beaten so bad playing dominoes that made me realize that I was probably eating something with gluten, the culprit (Simms premium cracked pepper STEAKSTRIP). Now I can look back and see all other symptoms: irregular stools, bad sleep, desire to eat uncontrollably, bad mood, etc. Gluten really does a job on my short-term memory.
