ARCHIVED Amy's Products
KarenCM replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love Amy's frozen food so much that every once and awhile I go to Bellingham, Washington to do a gluten free shop there. I have looked at so many stores around here but I guess the gluten free Amy's that I like just isn't available in Canada yet. Karen -

KarenCM replied to mouse's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I buy it at the real canadian superstore here I thought that presidents choice products were sold other places than Canada but I am not 100% sure. Open Original Shared Link Making your own sauce out of cornstarch sounds great, I like buying the soup cause it is fast and easy. Karen -

ARCHIVED Gf Bacon In British Columbia?
KarenCM replied to higgins's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I think it was Freybe that we bought it from last time or it could have been Grimm's but I am pretty sure it was Freybe either one. They are both great Gluten Free companies that I get a lot of stuff from. Karen -
ARCHIVED National Celiac Conference In Toronto
KarenCM replied to Carriefaith's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I personally think it would be great for you to go to a conference in Canada. For example at the one that I just went to there was info about osteoporosis and celiac, diabetes, babies and celiac, proper testing to get done, research being done, tons of great food to eat and buy and great people to meet as well.

I got to meet some of the Vancouver... -

KarenCM replied to printmaker81's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I was diagnosed in November and my immediate family only got tested just over a month ago. I just kept on them about getting testing since they were putting it off then they finally did it. My Mom came back negative and my brother and father haven't got results yet. My Dad goes to the doctor this afternoon so we'll see. I would just tell your family members... -

ARCHIVED Trans-glutaminase Antibodies Test
KarenCM replied to lucky28's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It is also a good idea to have the IgA test along with the TTG test in case you are IgA deficient with celiac disease. If you are IgA deficient and have celiac disease the test can sometimes come back as a false negative. Karen -
ARCHIVED What Is Your Ethnic Origin?
KarenCM replied to Emme999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My Father is from Germany and my Mother has Englush on her side. I have brown hair and blue eyes and light skin. My Dad has symptoms I think. We are waiting still for the test results. I am the only one diagnosed in my family so far. Karen -
I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago and they sent me the same reply. So, when I go on vacation next week I am not sure if I am going to bother going there. If they would have at least mentioned a few menu items that would be safe than I would have gone. Karen
