Hi Everyone,

I've been gluten-free for 3 months and I'm hoping that this forum will allow those of us in the GTA to share thoughts about local bakeries, stores, restuarants, etc. that are gluten-free friendly.

I just discovered the Organic Oven and have finally found some baked goods that actually taste good :D ! They have a wholesale/retail location in Mississauga and their products are also available in local stores like the Organic Garage in Oakville. Check their website: www.organicoven.com for more info.

I'm in the GTA as well (Scarborough) and am glad to be finding out about local places! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely be taking a look.

We recently tried a restaurant called The Magic Oven, and it was awesome. Gluten-free salad ingredients, salad dressings (minus the one salad with croutons, obviously lol), pizza toppings, pizza sauce, pizza crusts...tasty, good enough for non-celiacs (like my family) and no cc incident. The leftovers even reheated well the next day!

Also, if you're ever down in the Beaches in Toronto (Queen E between Vic Park and Woodbine) there's a great bakery called Wild Earth. They do gluten-free and "normal" foods (and also some lactose-free, vegan, nut-free, etc etc) and their products are great. I've eaten there a couple of times now and haven't had any problems with cc at all. (I heartily recommend the ginger cookies, btw!)

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
