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!

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Gluten free phosphate binders for dialysis patients

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
