    WOW! That was a tiny font. Let's try again... There have been a number of discussions on this topic recently. There are a number of gluten-free beers but availability depends on where you are. The best summary of what is out there is right here Open Original Shared Link

    The two I have read are Living Without and Gluten-Free Living. My personal preference is for gluten-free Living because of its focus on gluten (my particular issue). If you have other food sensitivities such as dairy, I could see that LW might be a better choice.

    Haven't found them in Canada yet either....and that's where the company started. Any other Canadians see them?

    If anyone does try them again, please report back. I have avoided Amy's based on posts from a ways back. No good for me to try again.....I have no discernible symptoms.

    I was diagnosed 5 years ago because my iron was low. Otherwise I would have said I have not symptoms. In retrospect, I did get intestinal cramps occasionally, but certainly not every time I ingested gluten. Today after 5 years, it is the same. I recently ate at a restaurant where they came out after I had pretty much completed my plate and told me that...

    I saw a story on this on this very website. http://www.celiac.co...iet/Page1.html. I was wondering if this would raise a discussion. Could have started the thread myself, but I'm not particularly fond of quinoa.

    Really?! Are you aware of anyone having issues with cc at Boston Pizza? I do not always notice symptoms so have to rely on others to tell me if something is a problem..........not that BP was my favourite pizza, but there are other places selling gluten-free pizzas like Pizza Pizza and I often wonder about cross contamination issues at a pizza place.

    I am going to have to try to get a hold of some Greens. I found the website for the North American destributor. Open Original Shared Link

    Ah yes. Guinness. I plan to request a glass of this on my deathbed.

    I was always a beer drinker before being diagnosed. Other alcoholic beverages just do not give me the same pleasure. So now I have aquired a taste for gluten-free beer. After 5 years, either I have forgotten what real beer tastes like, or gluten-free beer is getting better. I will agree with you that some of it is pretty bad, but I quite like La Messagere...

    For me, the concept that fermenation breaks down gluten is still a radical one. It is also the claim of some beer manufacturers. I'm not say it is wrong. I am just not comfortable with it yet and am waiting for more conclusive research. There is an increasing variety of soy sauces that are not made with wheat at all, and one or two of them are no more...

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will avoid them. My symptoms are not always obvious so I have to be careful.

    Hi all, Has anyone tried the ready to eat dinners from Open Original Shared Link? There is nothing in the ingredients that causes alarm, but their allergy information says "May Contain Milk, Mustard Seeds, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Tree Nuts And Wheat." Ingredients: " Manufactured in a facility that processes milk, peanuts and treenutsWater, Chick Peas...

    I'm curious Ali. Are you in Canada? I have a package of Bob's Red Mill rolled oats and it says "Wheat free" as well. I heard somewhere that in Canada, oats cannot be labelled as gluten-free. Anyway, I intend to try them.

    It's not the U.S. but I think my home city of Halifax in Canada has to rank near the top. But the absolutely best Celiac-friendly city I ever visited was Boulder CO.

    In Canada it is pretty similar. i.e. it's a medical deduction, you need a diagnosis, and you have to subtract the cost of regularly priced items. I have claimed this but only because I had other medical expenses to add to the claim. On its own, it wouldn't be worth it for me.

    It's remarkable how many dining options have opened up in the past few years. In Halifax there are now four chains that offer gluten-free pizza: Pizza Delight, Pizzatown, Pizza Pizza and Boston Pizza. In addition, there are a handful of restaruants that offer gluten-free gourmet pizzas.

    Intended to be used in case of accidental ingestion of small amounts of gluetn. It doesn't look like I am much closer to having that occasional glass of Guinness.

    I would like to turn this question around. I have Celiac Disease but without telling symptoms. Therefore I am careful about not eating gluten because I know it is damaging to my intestines, but have no way to know if I accidentally consumed it. Does avenin work the same way? Should I be avoiding gluten-free oats just in case? Or is the reaction to gluten...

    You can also buy aluminum foil grilling trays at the supermarket.

    Actually I like Messagere rousse. Here we get Bards (made in NY state?) which is OK. On a trip to Boulder, I tried New Planet - excellent beer...wish I could get it here.

    Welcome Skittles. It is good to see a post from a fellow Nova Scotian. I am in Cole Harbour.
  24. DougE
    I was going to suggest the same thing. I too heard that the highest concentration of people with celiac is in western Ireland. I do not have red hair, but my grandmother whom I suspect had celiac was of Irish descent.
  25. DougE
    Yeah. In Canada we often have to wait a while to see products come from the U.S. But this case is probably different because Glutino is the supplier. Their head office is in Laval, Quebec.
