    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!

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.
  12. Salem
    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!

    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...

    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...

    how about red lentils?

    I don't live in HK, but my sister does so I've spent a few weeks there. I loved the grocery store threesixty, I found lots of stuff I could eat. You must try their frozen yogurt! There is another ex-pat grocery store that sells gluten-free food, but I can't remember the name. It's in the IFC mall. Fruits and veggies are cheaper at the wet markets than...

    I've never seen it in BC.

    you need to find out the brand (apo, novo etc) it should say on the bottle. you might also have luck looking up sulfatrim DS which is the other name the med is known by.

    oh my gosh! that sounds so good. Thank you!

    Although I haven't eaten their fries in a years, I was offered some french fries this week. I declined because I didn't know if they were safe. I'm so glad I did! I had no idea about the beef broth. Just another reason for me to hate mcD's.

    I just went to the White Spot in New West today after reading this thread. I asked the server, and she looked at me like I had three heads, but she went into the kitchen and brought out a gross looking binder. She told me it was really old, but maybe I could find something I could eat. About half of the current menu isn't even in the book. I decided on...

    I would wait. I just bought some gluten-free oatmeal last week. I ate 2 big bowl fulls in two days and haven't been the same since. Maybe I'm not used to eating that much fiber anymore because it went through me very fast. I wasn't sure if I got glutened, ate too much fiber or if I just can't tollerate oats. But I'm not going to try again until my stimach...

    I ate quaker instant oats almost every morning for 10 years. it took me about 2 years to figure out why I was always sick by diner time. Here in Canada, oats are on the safe list but they aren't safe for me. I didn't contact quaker, but Pepsi who makes quaker products. They also gave me a list of their other gluten-free products. My reaction to crispy...

    I emailed Quaker last month asking if their Crispy mini's were gluten-free. They replied that the flavours I asked about were gluten-free. Great! I ate with gusto. Bam, I got sick. I've tried a few more times since and each time I've gotten D and gas. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same response. Maybe there is a CC issue and they aren...
