    I went to one but couldn't get an appointment until over a month after I was diagnosed. I felt like I knew more than she did. She just gave me some handouts some of which I already read off the internet. Karen

    The first day that I saw the GI in November 2004 and he was almost certain that I had celiac disease he told me to start the Gluten Free Diet right away. That night we were planning on making homemade pizzas for dinner and there was no way I was missing out on my homemade pizza. I felt the effects the rest of the night and the next day when I started the...

    Thanks for starting this topic. I started laughing and couldn't stop after reading that gas one. I used to be able to clear a room and my brother would always walk in front of me when out in public never behind me hahaha. Here is my little addition You might be a Celiac if someone has said to you "Just try a little bit and see if it hurts your tummy"...

    There is a Swiss Chalet there but all I ordered was a baked potato with Sour Cream. The service wasn't that great there although there was a huge group of us. Somebody called ahead and told them that there would be a big group of us so they should have put more staff on. On Swiss Chalet's website it does list the products that contain gluten. Karen

    Tinkyada brown rice pasta, Kinnickinick english muffins I just tried the english muffins recently and they are yummy. I tried them after reading about other people on here liking them.

    Hi there I am from Surrey and I am sorry but I can't suggest a good doctor. Maybe try getting in touch with the Canadian Celiac Association and see if they have a suggestion. They were a great help to me recently when they put together a New Member's Meeting on Feb 10th. It was so great to meet other people with the disease and chat about. Choices even...

    SaveOn Foods is great especially when they have a sale on. Recently there was a sale on Tinkyada rice pasta. So, I bought 6 bags of the brown rice spirals which is perfect for baked macaroni. Karen

    The restaurant was a german restaurant called the Rathskeller. We went at 4pm so it was nice that it wasn't busy. The waitress was very good and checked the ingredients for me. I had the bratwurst which came with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots. Unfortunately I couldn't have the gravy. I missed the spaetzels more though. The meal was good and I didn...

But, I don't know if they would change size once being gluten free I have been gluten free since November 2004. I was also lacking in B12, Folic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin D and Vitamin K before being diagnosed...

I asked him if he was thinking of Panne Rizo but he said no there is a restaurant he mentioned west 4th but had no idea what the name of the restaurant was called. Does anyone know of a gluten free restaurant in Vancouver? I thought...
