Okay, so I wanted to delete this post since I found my answer but I don't know how.... So, does "gluten free" mean the same thing in Canada and the USA? My mother said that it's 20ppm, but I have found conflicting sources. All my gluten free purchases state: made in a gluten free facility. Does this mean they are 100% gluten free? What about cross...

Hmm, the strawberry topping is gluten free in the US but not in Canada... hmm.

I'd be afraid of chemical leaching. I prefer glass to plastic and am weary of contact lenses... That's why if I ever get plastic surgery I'm getting stuff cut off rather than put foreign objects in me...

casa loma, kensington market/china town, hockey hall of fame, metro toronto zoo, canada's wonderland (meh, close enough ) all have kiddy things to do. Well, I guess not so much casa loma and the markets, but they're nice to look at. Also, as people have said, the science centre and ROM are good. There's also medieval times. If you come in summer there...

Sorry, don't know of any groups specifically. My family always went through the school in highschool. In university I did it through the universities as well. I'm not familar with outside organizations, I would be afraid my credits wouldn't count. But, I think the main thing is to look into the culture before the family. When I was over in europe for...

Yah, I try to be careful. Sometimes I worry, like did they get the whole wheat pasta and brown rice pasta mixed up? lol Then the cross contamination of the flours... I'm just a poor student though, can't avoid those expensive flour mixes. Tis the student life...

I'm from KW too. I'm a student at UW. I always go to the Natural Food Market, but I buy my rice pasta and such at the bulk barn across the street, sooo much cheaper. They have everything I need, though they can be pricey. I love their bulk section. I've been to eating well a few times as well, when I was hunting down vegan food. I...

I do slipperly elm tea 3x a day. It really helps me as well. I do it all: I take digestive enzymes at every meal, drink aloe juice, peppermint oil, licorice tea, castor oil packs, probiotics, etc. The problem with you is that you drink peppermint tea, which can upset the stomach. You should be taking peppermint oil pills that are enteric coated so...

This is the advice I have. Get yourself to a chiropracter. Within 2 weeks you'll never have another UTI again. (this is what he told me) Yoga also helps, because it helps strengthen the back muscles. This is obviously after you've had your bladder checked out and nothing else serious is there. (cysts, cancer, etc) Trust me. I had around 2 UTI...

I only use store bought when I'm being lazy. I find even the veggie stock in stores is overly salty. Plus I can dictate the taste by choosing what veggies I want in the stock. But that's just me. I make my own pasta and pizza dough if that helps you to see what kind of cooker I am. (when I have the time.)

I really like this one. Plus, it's vegan too. 2tbsp olive oil 1 cup red onions chopped sea salt fresh ground black pepper 4 cups sliced mushrooms 3 garlic cloves 1 cup arborio rice 4 cups veggie stock 2 roasted red peppers, skins removed, and chopped 1/4 cup green onions 2 tsp fresh thyme Use a bit of oil to saute onions, add...

Hydrogenation is just a chemical process. Hydrogenated vegetable oil contains no gluten. There is such thing as hydrogenated wheat gluten. Could you have misheard the prof?

I was diagnosed with gastro-esophageal reflux disease when I was around 10 or 11. My doctor put me on a drug called prepulsid/propulsid (aka cisapride) and I was on it until I was about 15. This drug cause me major problems. Diarrhea, headaches, weakness, cramps, etc were the side effects. Alot of the drugs used to treat reflux are also used to treat constipation...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I guess I should look more into the B vitamins, I suppose getting B12 shots isn't always enough. If I was low on B12 levels it could be very well possible that I'm deficient for folic acid as well. And to ruth, I don't really understand your response about the colonoscopy... can you please explain further?

The thing with gluten and caesin, is that they're such large proteins, it's very hard for the intestine to digest them. So, if you have any intestinal problems at all, you should avoid them.
