Gf In Canada

[SueC]

I am going to Nova Scotia for a coupe of weeks and it is my first trip since being diagnosed. Any advice is appreciated on what to look out for. I will be shopping at Sobeys and Atlantic Superstore. Are there any great gluten-free treats to be found at either of those places?? Are Kraft products labelled as clearly there as here in the States?

And what about the other safe foods on the list...Any differences?

Thanks for any imput.

Any advice is appreciated on what to look out for. I will be shopping at Sobeys and Atlantic Superstore.

I am not from Nova Scotia, but I am from the maritimes and have been to Nova Scotia a few months ago. My tip is to try and find a big Sobey's or Atlantic Superstore. The bigger it is, the more gluten-free stuff they will have I would also suggest going to both stores, since Sobey's has stuff that the Superstore doesn't and vice versa and the Superstore is sometimes cheaper They both should have health food sections with lots of gluten-free stuff! The Sobey's here carries Pastsy Pie products, which are AWESOME! Try the brownies if they have them!

Are Kraft products labelled as clearly there as here in the States?

And what about the other safe foods on the list...Any differences?

The same rules apply here for Kraft. But some products can be different. I know that the Lea and Perrins Worcester Sauce is not gluten-free in Canada. Just double check labels and you should be fine.

A great restaurant is Swiss Chalet since they have a nutritional sheet which clearly indicates which foods are gluten-free or not. Just say that you are celiac and no wheat/bread can touch or go near your food. I went to the one in Truro, N.S and didn't get sick. They were great! They automatically gave me a salad instead of a potato with my rotisserie chicken because their potatoes are stored with the buns and they were afraid that I might be affected.

Have fun on your trip
