Hi all.

It's official now. DD confirmed yesterday with total villi atrophy. All previous posts were on "pre-diagnosis, now here we are.

Almost all I've read stems from US. Anyone out there from Canada? Reason I ask is that the product base is quite different from US to Canada (much less here from what I can see) As we're new to gluten-free diet, would really appreciate some advice/feed back as to best places to shop, eat out, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kathleen! Welcome to the forum!

Where in Canada are you? I am in Bowmanville (about 1 hour outside Toronto), Ontario.

There are lots of options for us. Most Loblaws Superstores, Great Canadian Superstores, and many A&P's now carry gluten free foods. The Loblaws I shop at has a whole aisle! Also, if you can't find these products in stores, El Peto has awesome, delicious gluten-free foods.

You can order from them on-line.

Any questions you have, just fire away!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm in Mississauga. I found a selection in those stores as well but guess I'm looking for the "easy meals"...not just the staples like bread. When you order on line, what's the S/H like?

Do you still eat out in restaurants? Ren

The Great Canadian Superstore in Oshawa has an extensive choice of El Peto stuff, so I don't have to order on-line. The one thing I can tell you that is my favourite gluten-free item though, is Kinnikinnick Tapioca Engligh Muffins. They are purchased frozen, so look in the frozen section for the health section items.....

Keep them frozen and take them out individually. Microwave for 50 seconds, take out, turn it over and leave it for about 3 - 4 minutes, then slice it. Then you can either eat it as is, or toast it (my preference.)........ They are moist and delicious!

Their bread is not too bad, but not as good as the english muffins!

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
