Ontario - Bill 75

I might be late to the party with this post.  ;)  I was on the Ontario legislature site looking for another bill when I noticed Bill 75, the Act to amend the Health Insurance Act with respect to celiac disease screening. It seems it passed its first reading in the spring. 

 

Here is a link:

In short, from what I can tell, if the bill is passed it will have the celiac screening panel and testing as a paid portion of OHIP and other insurance plans. 

 

Not sure what is currently happening with this bill. My guess is, because it is the government, that it will be a while before it moves to any other reading. Legislature reconvenes in February. 

 

 

Just wanted to share.

Thanks for sharing! This is a great step forward. Ontario is one of the few (only?) Canadian provinces where celiac testing is not free. It costs around $125 for the full panel.

      Does anyone know if Kirkland Imported French Brie is gluten free?

      I am asking for my six year old. It took us four months to figure out what was going on- a brand of extra virgin olive oil we were using for every meal. We changed the brand she instantly got better- from Gi to nephropathy to joint pain, to tinnitus to dry eyes. You name a symptom and she has it when glutened, so it's difficult to second guess when it's all so obvious. Anyway, two months later, i bought another bottle of the same brand, and the olive oil was sourced form 5 different countries, as opposed to one. It took exactly a month for her symptom to start all over again. And sure enough it was the oil! I am sorta getting tired of trying to get these "healthy" oils glutening her. Does anyone have any thought on cooking oils that they think for sure are not contaminated, or any certified glutenfee brands they suggest? I'd appreciate. At this point, I just need any oil that's free of contamination- healthy or otherwise. Healthier is better. But i'll tkae anything. Thanks

      @CeliacPsycho246, You might try cutting out dairy.  Some of us react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as to gluten.

      Yep, the edit window times out very quickly. It's okay. I got a good laugh out of it.
