Products That Can Be Found In Canada?

Hi, I was wondering if you Canadians could list some of the packaged gluten free snacks that you are able to find in Canada, as well as premade or frozen meals or side dishes.

I'm from America, but a friend from Canada is going gluten free and I have no idea if the products I am recommending can be found there too. Is there a list out there of products that can be found in Canada?

Thank you!

kinnikinnick sells many breads in the frozen health food section, they also do many different types of bread mixes (which are better in my opinion). Open Original Shared Link (loads of other products there).

Celimix also has premixes of cakes and breads

In the asian section of the grocery store, you can find rice crackers, vermicelli and a few other labelled gluten free products,

For ice cream there is Chapmans icecream- which has always been my favorite and then one day I was wanting icecream and I noticed that they are certified gluten free... no wonder it comes sealed in plastic!

If she is in Alberta, close to Calgary there is Earth's Oven Gluten Free Bakery Open Original Shared Link which I've only just learned about and I'm excited to go try out their products.

I'm not sure of any others, I generally haven't bothered with bread substitutes and I've only been doing this for 6 weeks.

Brands available at various stores in Canada include Glutino, Gluten Free Pantry, El Peto, Kinniknick, Tinkyada and EnerG. That list may not be complete.

Health food stores and specialty stores carry the widest range, but the Loblaw family of grocery stores (Zehr's, Fortino's, Canadian Super Store, as well as Loblaws--but NOT No Frills) carry a number of gluten-free foods. The selection varies widely by location. They will usually be gathered together in a section of the store for health and special needs foods it may be close to the in-store pharmacy in many cases). We do most of our shopping at Longo's, a Toronto-area regional chain and they carry a number of Glutino products. Tinkyada pasta is available at two non-chain shops in our neighborhood.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
