Hi,

I will be travelling to Downtown Toronto soon. Does anyone have any suggestions for restaurants or supermarkets in that area? When I come back I will post my results.

Hi,

There's a Whole Foods in an undergound mall called Hazelton Lanes in the Yorkville area of Toronto (right downtown, not too far from the Four Seasons hotel). There's also a farmer's market in a big building called the St. Lawrence Market. It is also downtown not too far from the Union Station subway stop plus one or two streetcar stops. (just google the market and they have directions) There's also this great place that caters to the organic/fresh food/ allergies population called The Big Carrot (on Danforth & Chesterton) in Greektown. Plus there are lots of little organic/health food stores sprinkled throughout the downtown core.

Enjoy Toronto. Bring a warm coat!

If you are shopping for food, Loblaws supermarkets tend to have a good selection of gluten-free items in their stores. They operate under other names as well, including Canadian Superstore and Zehr's. Look in the health food section. Web site with store locator: Open Original Shared Link

The Keg is a steakhouse and seafood chain with locations across Canada. They are very accommodating, and have 12 locations in the Toronto area. Web site with location finder: Open Original Shared Link

Il Fornello, Open Original Shared Link has gluten-free pasta and pizza available. They understand our needs, and will boil fresh water in a clean pot to prepare gluten-free pasta. The pizza is in the same oven as the other pizza, but is baked on a clean pan. We have eaten at the Bayview Village location many times, and have also been to the one on Yonge Street near St. Clair.

At multiple locations in Ontario you will find Swiss Chalet restaurants, which feature gluten-free rotisserie chicken. Open Original Shared Link The chicken and dipping sauce are gluten-free, as are most salads and some side dishes.

Here's a link to the Toronto chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association, which has some useful stuff. Open Original Shared Link

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
