No, I do not eat things that "may contain wheat" or are "manufactured in a facility that processes wheat". It's just not worth it. I understand you on the food restrictions, it's hard. I ate out for the first time in a month yesterday and it was kind of scary instead of being the carefree experience it used to be. As far as lunches/dinners/family occasions...

Just wondering if there is anyone local on here. It would be great to compare notes.

Thanks for the support everyone. I'm feeling much more positive today. Nervous about eating out with my oldest son but hopeful that it will be a good experience. Yesterday was an interesting day, we had about 16 people over for a BBQ and luckily we have 2 grills so I have cleaned one well and it is now the gluten-free grill and it's nowhere near the other...

I went into M&M meats yesterday and asked if they could help me find something gluten free to throw on the BBQ. Well they were lovely, the lady went into the back and printed up a list of 170 gluten free items carried by the store. I had a few different types of kabobs and the gourmet stuffed potatoes yesterday afternoon and felt great! I only had...

ARCHIVED Any gluten-free Hot Dogs In Canada?

Butterball Turkey Franks are gluten free. According to their website: -
Thank you. I am feeling really emotional right now. I tried a few gluten-free recipes in the last couple of days and they were all disasters (cookies, pancakes and muffins). I've had moderate success cooking from gluten-free boxed mixes but I love baking from scratch and nothing seems to be working. My Dad and I aren't close, we speak for a few minutes...

I don't want this to be my life. Please excuse the pity party, I'm very new to this gluten-free thing. My Dad has Celiac so I decided to try out a gluten-free diet to see if it would help my laundry list of health problems. It only took 3 days for me to feel better than I've ever felt in my life. My fatigue, nausea, joint pain, depression, constipation...

ARCHIVED Sensitivity To Weather Changes
Poppi replied to bridgeofsighs's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Not sure about candida but I certainly have sinuses that act like barometers. Whenever the weather changes suddenly from sunny and clear to cloudy and/or rainy my sinuses go crazy. It's like the worst hayfever attack ever and nothing helps. The attack lasts all day and a good night sleep usually sets me mostly right again. It's been better since I went... -

Mushroom and Potato frittata, sausages and really awful disappointing gluten free pancakes. So really just frittata and sausages. -
ARCHIVED "glutened" Symptoms - When Did They Start?
Poppi replied to Katrala's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've only been gluten free for 22 days now so I haven't had an major glutening accidents. I have had 2 incidents of very minor cross contamination. The first time I was at a birthday party and only ate my own food except for a couple pieces of vegetables from a tray and a hot dog with no bun. The second time DH made me some toast in the morning and put... -
ARCHIVED Where To Buy gluten-free Soy Sauce? (Canada)
Poppi replied to Katie B's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I use San-J Wheat-Free Light Tamari. It's way cheaper than some other wheat free tamari and I really like it. I think it tastes a lot like Yamasa which used to be my favourite soy sauce. I'm on Vancouver Island and I have bought it at Fairway (which I think is local) and Save-On Foods (Overwaitea).
