Yes, Gluten Free Girl has been writing lately about Xanthan gum and others. I may try the white bread, but I always feel guilty for eating white bread. I didn't grow up on it, and to me, it's like Wonderbread - yuck!

ARCHIVED Chex (gluten-free) And Lara Bars Finally At My Store In Canada!
Salem replied to love2travel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was so stunned when I was in IGA yesterday. There was a huge display!!!! I snapped a picture and posted it on facebook. I bought a teeny tiny box for 6.49 and tore it open as soon as I got home. I'm actually a little disappointed. It is soooo sweet! I'll try the rice ones next time, maybe they'll be a little less sweet. I'll be sure to stop in superstore... -
I have been struggling for the past several months with celiac-like symptoms. I could not figure out what my problem was. I *know* I am not eating gluten. I was having awful gas and incredibly painful, mucousy D BM's. Most people would go to the Dr, but experience has taught me that Dr's really don't know what to do with stomach problems. I knew it was...

ARCHIVED To Go To China Or Not ... Help!
Salem replied to Emilushka's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I think it depends on a few things. 1. where in China- Hong Kong is the only place where gluten-free eating would be easy. Lots of Chinese food is naturally gluten free. Believe me, you can survive a pretty long time on rice, seafood, coffee and fruit. (at least that's what I survived on!) 2. can you be make your own food? It is much less stressful... -
ARCHIVED Is Your Local Grocery Store's Produce Department By Their Bakery?
Salem replied to jackay's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Don't you wash your fruit? I think it very unlikely, as someone would have to sprinkle gluten crumbs over the produce. I can't really think of a situation where this would happen AND where I would be unable to wash it off. -
The chain Pizza Pizza has just made the move to my area in Vancouver. I got a flyer showing that they have gluten-free pizzas. I am tempted, but very worried about CC. I have read their website, says all employees are trained about CC. I also read some good and bad experiences on this board. All of the reviews were years old. Just wondering if anyone...

ARCHIVED Cat Food?
Salem replied to GarAndTeed's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My cats eat Orijen cat food it's gluten free and high protein. I switched to gluten-free cat food because my cats tend to jump up on the counters and like to rub their faces against my hand. I think it just increased my chance of getting glutened. I don't want to have to remember to wash my hands everytime I pet my cats. Afterall, it's not like my cats... -
Hello all, I just found out I am being sent to a three day conference in Vancouver BC later this month. I actually live in the suburbs of the city, so I know some restaurants/grocery stores that have gluten-free foods. I plan on bringing my own cereal, and snacks. My worries are what am I going to do for food during the day when I'm stuck at the conference...

ARCHIVED Luna Bar Question
Salem replied to GFqueen17's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
in Canada, Luna bars list Barley as an ingredient -
I think that they are Nature Valley (???) At my safeway, the waffles are in the regular freezer section, not in the bakery section with the kinniwick (sp?) stuff. They are in a "special food" section not with glutenous waffles.
-
here in BC, safeway also carries gluten free cereals, bob's red mill stuff, gluten-free frozen waffles and mi-del cookies. Times are changing!

ARCHIVED Confused About Cross Contamination
Salem replied to GFinBC's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I too live in BC, and I didn't wait long at all for my first biopsy, a couple of months. The first one was negative, so I continued on eating gluten for years, literally until I wanted to die. I got the blood work done again, seeing the results was all I needed. I went gluten-free before realizing that I needed to eat gluten for the biopsy. But by then... -
ARCHIVED Top Three Worst Gf Products
Salem replied to anerissara's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
wow, great thread! I must admit, when I first went gluten free, I picked up a loaf of EnerG and squeezed it. It didn't give at all! I knew it was going to be bad, I put it down with a thud. Reading all the comments, I'm sooo glad that I didn't try it. Chia Goodness. Grey congealed salty muck. My friend thought it looked like alien guts. Rice...
