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.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
