Aaron, Im a three hour drive north of you, so don't really know what is specifically in London. What I do know, though, is that really the only places you can get things like good rice bread are usually health food stores.

This is a link to a site with the addresses of two health food stores in London. The Canada 411 site is down right now, I tried to check there. You might want to check it tomorrow.

I couldn't find anything in St. Thomas, again, because Canada 411 is down.

Also, if you have a Garden IGA, or a Sobeys, they carry Tinkyada pasta (cheaper than in the health food store), and may even have gluten-free breads. They do have Bob's Red Mill products as well, which will enable you to bake your own stuff. Just make sure you only buy their gluten-free products (they produce food that isn't gluten-free as well). And they have cookies. Check out their health food section, or ask a manager or one of the people who work in the bakery department.

The health food store will also have all kinds of mixes, and gluten-free flours, and probably gluten-free cookbooks.

Aaron, do you have a Loblaws Superstore? They usually have gluten-free items. Also, the Great Canadian Superstore near me has a huge selection of gluten-free items..... do you have one of those in your area?

Be sure to look in the frozen sections of your supermarket - the Kinnickinnick breads and stuff are always in the frozen section......

try the good ol' world wide web....amazon .com usually has some good deals :) good luck!

also, don't forget about regular grocery store items (rice, meat, veggies, etc...) that are naturally gluten-free!!!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
