Gluten Free In Canda

Hey there, I live in beautiful British Columbia Canada ( Kelowna ) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any Candian restaraunts that are accomidating to the gluten free diet? I am at the point now where I want to start venturing out, with friends, instead of always eating at home first, but I am not sure at ALL where would be a good place to start.

Thanks for any help :-P

Hi I live in Vernon BC, and Im having the same problem. I have tried a few places though and this is what Ive found. KT's in Vernon states they have a gluten free menu, but when you get there they still use the same equipment to make everything, and both times i tried what they stated was definatly gluten free and i got sick. Theres a place called 2 peas in vernon that is a gluten, candidia and dibetics place, which is for lunch, and its great, they have 2 seperate kitchens so you dont have to worry about anything. Boston Pizza in vernon is pretty good at listening to the allergy questions, adn are very accomidating to what you can have and letting you know what you cant. In kelowna is a place called Taco Del Mar, which is really good, but mostly for lunchs as well. good luck, the best thing ive done is if youre going out for dinner is calling the restaurant before, during a quiet time and talking to the manager, most of the time they give you right to the cook and if they dont have anythingon the menu many restaurants will make you something seperate, which is awsome.

      Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times.  Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens.  Lots of efforts for ONE odd- sized loaf that hard to cut into useable slices.  College-aged son found best use for bread machine was as heavy duty mixer that ‘kept dust in the box.’  He would pre-measure ingredients for 2-3 loaves & use machine mix up individual batches.      Since gluten-free bread needs  to rise only once, each recipe of dough went into a loaf pan. Pans sat counter to rise—time dependent of temp in kitchen. Then, baked in oven until he, not machine, decided it was done.     Took ~10 min extra up front to measure & mix additions but adds nothing to rise & bake times.     Loaves are great for slicing (Slice extra before freezing!). One mess to clean up, saves time & energy since you need to bake  as is half as often (If  you plan to bake lots more than bread, opt for KitchenAid/ heavy duty mixer instead.  Cover with dish towel to capture dust!)     Personally, I’m sure I had as a kid since I’ve never been a fan  of bread. .  Have been wrapping corn tortillas around things for 40+ years.  Can still get a dozen 12-pks of tortillas for same or less than price as 1 load of gluten-free bread. PLUS. the tortillas have more nutrients!

      Welcome to the forum. You are lucky because in Korean food, many classic meals such as bibimbap without sauce, barbecue meats and some kinds of soups generally do not have gluten. But it is a good idea to confirm with the restaurant workers for safety reasons. Regarding certain locations, I enjoy going to places such as Plant in Seoul and Sprout in Busan. Moreover, using applications like HappyCow or TripAdvisor can assist you to discover additional choices in the regions you plan to visit. One big tip: it is good to know some important Korean sentences, for example 'I cannot eat gluten' (geulluteuneul meogeul su eopseoyo)  or 'Does this have gluten?' (igeoe neun geulluteuni deureo innayo?) because they can be very helpful. If you are considering getting a local guide, I'd suggest this one https://gowithguide.com/korea They were very helpful when I needed to find places with gluten-free food options because they provide tours tailored to your preferences. Good luck with your travels! 🍻

      It is concerning.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors don’t know a lot about celiac disease, even some gastroenterologists.  Here is an article for you: Celiac disease and miscarriage I hope you have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby!

      @RMJ   this is really concerning and my GP has said none of this to me!

      Undiagnosed (and thus untreated) celiac disease is associated with a higher chance of miscarriage. The downside of continuing to eat gluten now is increased chance of miscarriage. The downside of stopping gluten now and having to restart later to get a clear, official diagnosis is that you might have worse symptoms eating gluten after being gluten free, but it wouldn’t affect your baby. I know which one I would choose!
