Traveling To Canada

We live in Pennsylvania, but will be driving to New Brunswick, Canada this summer. We will be staying in a very small town with only a very tiny general store, but we can drive to St. John for a regular grocery store or SuperWalMart. We plan to pack specialty items for our DD 2.5 (like gluten free pretzels, rice pasta, pancake/cookie mix, etc), but we would like to shop for most of the food once in Canada...due to limited space in the car and the need for perishable.

Will we find most similar brands of foods as we'd find here in the US? For example, my daughter's favorites are: Yoplait yogurt, Rice Chex, Fruity Pebbles, Perdue Shortcuts (chicken), Oscar Mayer deli ham, Oscar Mayer or Ball Park hot dogs, Velveeta block cheese, Kraft singles, Tostitos, Eggo syrup, Heinz ketchup. Any ideas where I could find gluten free waffles (my daughter loves Van's blueberry)? If not are there any good substitutes you would suggest for any of the above?

In Ontario, at least, we don't have Chex, Pebbles, Perdue, Egg Syrup. We have the rest, and we do have Van's. We have a lot of glutenfree cereals, including all the envirokids. Piller's meat labels all gluten.

Hi,

I'm from Moncton New Brunswick, about an hour from St-John. I have celiac disease. You'll be able to find some gluten free food at Atlantic SuperStore and at Sobeys in St-John. They have all the gluten free food you are planning to bring with you. In New Brunswick we have Yoplait Yogurt, Velveeta cheese, Kraft singles, Tostitos, eggo syrop, Heinz Ketchup... I'm not sure about the other stuff you mention but we have some similar brand for sure! They have gluten free waffles at super store and sobeys. The brand of gluten free food I prefer is : Glutino, El Peto, Perky's Enviro Kidz, Bob Red Mill and more... I dont know if they have any other store in St-John who sell gluten free food.

Here's the link for the Canadian Celiac Association : Open Original Shared Link

Also here's the link for the Moncton Chapters of Celiac Disease : Open Original Shared Link

In Moncton the contact person for the celiac disease association is : Mike Murphy 1-506-532-0106

In St-John the contact person for the celiac disease association is : Myrtelle Speight 1-506-672-4454

They will be able to help you better than me. I also have this link : Open Original Shared Link

It's a Gluten free restaurant in Riverview but it's about an hour from St-John. They also sell gluten free products.

I hope you'll enjoy your stay. Sorry for my English..I'm French!

Julie

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
