hello,

I have been checking all of the posts about gluten free restaurants in vancouver and am very excited to check out "serenity natural foods deli/cafe." I am moving to Vancouver to go to the University of British Columbia for 2 months this summer and am wondering if anyone knows of a health food store near this area or in Vancouver. Somewhere to get pasta, flour, etc? I am a little nervous about the move and not knowing where to find anything gluten free. I am hoping that there will be something on campus! That would be a nice change! Any comments would be great please!!

Thax

I am on the complete opposite side of the country! but I can try and help! I buy most of my stuff at Sobeys. Zares (sp?) also carries gluten-free stuff, but there isn't one here.

If you google "vancouver gluten free" a bunch of interesting things will come up.

Check out Liv n Well, River Road in Richmond, BC.

It's a gluten-free wholesaler based in Richmond.

You can buy gluten-free flour and gluten-free food, there in bulk (packaged and sealed, of course).

Bread mixes, soups, gluten-free bread crumbs, cookies, cake mixes, pasta mixes etc.

Also, in vancouver check out the 'Natural' foods section in our local Save-On-Foods stores...they have Gluten free Honey'd Cornflakes (excellent) and Amy's soups, cookies too.

Ciao'

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
