Hi! In 85..wow. How old are you now?

I remember a gluten free grocery store in Victoria between London drugs and Market on Yates? Is it still there?

Hi, thanks! That sounds really nice but, I probably won't make it up there though. I hope you have a good time!

Hi Patrick, in 69 years have you found you have a problem with other grains as well as gluten grains?

:D:)

Not really have not experimented with exotic grains,grains from Asia are questionable.

I practise zero tolerance best I can,but get flare-ups with foods in restaurants the odd time.

Reading labels is a challenge as to ingredients as well.

I stick to brown rice flour mostly.

Some countries like Australia consider 20ppm ok as safe for celiacs,however one of the flour millers I spoke to in Ontario recently strive for 5ppm.

As you know reactions are very diferentwith some celiacs.

I lived in Vancouver for 17 years, sister went to UVic and I went to the Island and various Islands a lot. I really miss it.

Look up Planet Organic. Great place. They have a celiac tour every month from the president of the Vancouver Island Celiac Association. It is an awesome place to shop, very helpful staff.

I'm from the Comox valley. I seem to meet Celiacs everywhere now that I am diagnosed. It would be cool if there were enough of us to organize some kind of gluten-free meet up. :)

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).

      I have a One Pot and decided to start using it one day. I was hesitant at first making my own yogurt, but was surprised at how easy it was. I like mine better too.

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,
