  1. Yes! It's here now! I saw it and bought it for the first time a couple weeks ago. I think it's new to Canada, so you may need to look around a bit still.
  2. We're planning on a day trip to Toronto Island in the next couple weeks, and in anticipation I'm wondering about food. Are there any restaurants over there that you've had success with for gluten free options? Or do I need to pack food? I'd love to be able to just have a day out without lugging around a cooler, but want to make sure there will actually...
  3. I am newly pregnant, I think just 4 weeks today. I was diagnosed with celiac in December. I have a two-year-old son. My healing journey has been...slow. It's kind of felt like two steps forward, one step back. Things will be going well for a week, then I get hit with a few days of diarrhea. Although, my energy levels have been WAY better and my iron...
  4. So, I've been gluten-free for a little over 4 months. After about 6 weeks, things were getting better. But, since I hit about the 3 month mark, I'm feeling like things are taking a turn for the worse. I'm very careful with reading labels, and our house is gluten-free. I have only eaten out once or twice. Diary does bother me, I try to avoid it, but have...
  5. I've read many people mentioned being glutened on these boards, and I'm curious as to how you know? I'm only 2-3 weeks into this, and I have good days and bad days. I'm trying to keep a food diary to link things, but so far I have no idea! I don't know if it's accidental cross contamination or eating gluten in something or just a bad day. Pre-diagnosis...
  6. I'm newly diagnosed and have had friends and family offer advice on where they have seen gluten free options in restaurants. Most of these are fast-food/chains. I have to admit, after all I've learned about cross contamination, I would NOT trust a worker at these places to keep my food safe! After the way I had to rip apart my kitchen to get it safe, how...
  7. Well, after reading some of the tips here and listening to my own body, I want to also give up dairy for a while so I can heal. However, I'm wondering if it needs to be as absolute as the gluten avoidance. Many family members are trying to be supportive of the celiac by making me food or buying me gluten-free food, and a lot of it has dairy (milk, butter...
  8. I've just received my "official" diagnosis today, though during my endoscopy 2.5 weeks ago the doctor saw clear signs of damage. So, I went gluten-free then, but am continuing to learn and get serious about healing. Funny thing is that although the biopsy showed total atrophy, the blood test was negative. But the doctor said the biopsy really is the gold...
  9. Hi there, I'm brand new to this, but feel like I need to hear from some people who've been there. I'm 27 years old and female. Since the start of this year, I've been experiencing diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas. I've had some abdominal pain. At a blood test in mid-June I had a ferritin of 6 (despite not menstruating for over 2 years...I'm...
