:D I live in PE and am looking to find gluten-free foods that are not found in theAtlantic Superstore. I have been reading about AMY'S KITCHEN frozen foods and would like to try some or anything else that tastes good.

Thanks, Brenda

Hi Brenda, I'm in Fredericton, NB, and I have to say I LOVE your avitar!!! :D The Chickadee is my absolute favourite bird! :wub:

Unfortunately I'm not much help with your food search... I really don't buy/eat many specialty products for gluten-free living. In fact my favourite product, Pamela's Pancake and Baking mix :rolleyes: is brought up to me from Massachusetts :blink: by a good friend! :)

Not sure if you have Glutino products available to you, I do like their Poppy Seed Bagel! It's VERY good! Unfortunately, I'm staying off dairy right now to try to figure out if it's been the culprit of my ill stomache lately. So, without cream cheese, it's just a peice of bread to me! :unsure: Next week I plan to add it back to my diet, with cream cheese and see how I make out! :rolleyes:

Also, Thai Kitchen has many soup and noodle products that are gluten-free, I don't find as many at Superstore as I do Sobey's. Here in F'ton they are in our health food section as well as the Asian food section. They are extremely tasty and very convenient for work or quick snacks at home. Not cheap of course, <_< but not as pricey as many of the gluten-free foods.

Anyway, I will keep an eye on this thread, I may learn of something yummy too! :D

Hey Brenda!

I am also from PEI!

I do a lot of shopping at the Nature's Harvest in the Charlottetown Mall (There is also one in the Confederation Court Mall). They have Sterk's products (which are awesome), and you can also order Rosie's Gluten Free Gourmet Food from the Nature's Harvest as well (I think this option is fairly new).

I shop at the Sobey's across from the Charlottetown mall. I find that they better options than the Atlantic Superstore. Sobey's just started carrying pasty pie gluten-free cookies, which are extremely good. Sobey's used to sell 3 gluten-free amy's dinners which are really good. However, I think they only carry one now :( I was thinking of asking them to bring the rest back. Maybe if more of us show an interest they will bring them back!

Hope this helps, and feel free to ask me any questions! :D

Oh thought I should mention this... to save you trouble,

In the Sobey's across from the Charlottetown mall the Amy's dinners are directly across from the seafood department in a small freezer. There are also a lot of yummy gluten-free waffles in there too! I eat them all the time!

:rolleyes: Thanks Tammy and Carrie I will check out your info. I'm going to ask Sobeys in Charlottetown to bring in Amy's Kitchen frozen meals.

Thanks, Brenda

I'll also ask Sobey's to bring Amy's back! I know that a lot of people bought them because there were always a lot gone when I bought them.

Also...

I was at the Nature's Harvest the other day and noticed that they had Rosie's gluten free frozen boxed pizza! They also had apple pie ummmmmm.

I am actually kind of disappointed in Sobey's now, they stopped getting most of the gluten-free amy's dinners, they stopped selling the Old El Paso corn chips (the only mainstream chips I could eat without getting sick), they appeared to have stopped selling all my favorite gluten-free waffles, and I haven't seen any new Kinnickinick bread now for almost a month! ... and to make things worse Nature's harvest is having trouble getting strek's bread now. I haven't seen any sterk's bread in there in months!

I haven't contacted Sobey's yet about the amy's meals, but I am thinking of saying something soon and I am going to mention the Kinnickinick bread and the waffles! If this is bothering anyone else please say something too! They may actually change if they know more people will buy!

and would like to try some or anything else that tastes good.

Also, I just found out that there is a lady at the farmers market that sells gluten free dinners. I have tried 3 of them and they are very good!

Hi Tammy-

I'm only an hour away from you, I live in Vanceboro, Me. about 6 miles from McAdam. I was thinking about taking a ride in there to check out the Superstore, I heard they have some gluten-free stuff. Is it worth my trip? I only have 1 healthfood store nearby in Calais and I've just ordered some mail order foods to try...I'm very new at this, just diagnosed last month. -Patty

There is a store on Burns Avenue, Charlottetown, PEI (Between Walmart and the Charlottetown Rural) and they sell gluten free flours, bread, bagels, cookies, pizza crust, ect. They sell Sterk's bread, which is in my opinion the best gluten-free bread. The store is called, A Fresh Start. I was just in the store today and I thought it was great!

I have been disapointed ever since the Nature's Harvest at the Charlottetown Mall shut down. Now this store (A Fresh Start) sells almost everything that Nature's Harvest used to sell except for Rosie's products. They may be able to order them in though.

You should check out the Dieppe (NB) farmer's market on Saturday mornings. They serve a gluten-free breakfast and they also sell a bunch of gluten-free stuff like: Lasagna, pizza, bread, pies....

I was just curious about this store. I would like to try it.

Where exactly is it located?

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
