Does anyone know of any gluten-free accomadating restaurants in Windsor, On other than Swiss Chalet or Red Lobster. We have company coming, I have just started going gluten-free and i don't want to be poisoned. But my aunt is allergic to seafood and we don't like swiss chalet.

Thanks

Not sure if I am to late for this reply, since i just sign on..

But besides Red Lobster and Swiss Chalet.. there is a few place my family (my mom, sister and I are all Celiacs) can go and ate and not have to worry about gluten ..

Mexican Food: Acapulco Delight its on 656 Pitt Street West, they offer many items that come in corn!! Like toastadas, enchillidas etc... even combos (you could ask to substitute the flour item for the corn item e.g. get an corn taco instead of burrito)

Chinese Food: some places have excellent rice noodle dishes that can be offered and Yang Chow Rice, which does not have soya sauce (since most restaurants use soya sauce that contains wheat) which is good as well... be wary cafeful of certain types of sauces, due to a lot contain wheat.... also if you want to be creative and try to make some chinese dishes at your own home, visit a chinese shop, a lot of the products are rice and you could try out rice wraps....

Sushi Places: be careful of imitation crab meat: has wheat... also anything that is fried, but does offer a few dishes with out flour...

Right now that is all I can think of...

There is also a mexican place on Tecumseh East, but i can not think of its name, but u can get a few mexican good there as well (it sells homemade empanadas)...

But mostly all Canadian style food places are hit and miss... a lot use wheat and sometimes you want more then fries, nachos, salads and grilled chicken lol (which even just getting fries and nacho is hard!!!)

hope this helps,

Britt

      But there will still probably be times when you will get together with your brother and father in their home when food will be involved. You need to think through how you will handle that. In the meantime, separate your stuff from their stuff and keep it under lock and key if necessary.

      Thank you, I'll talk to my doctor and dietitian for some resources they could read. I only have a few months until I can move in with my mother who is a lot more cautious about it.

      Okay, so two issue here: 1. Your brother is creating CC (Cross Contamination) problems by using your gluten free food items and mixing into them gluten containing food. I would suggest you consider keeping your gluten free food items in your bedroom instead of the kitchen. Consider getting a small fridge that will fit in your bedroom for things that need refrigeration. 2. Your dad is not giving proper attention to avoiding gluten containing ingredients when he prepares meals for the family. Do you think he has a good understanding of what gluten is and where it is found in mainline food products? Is he doing this out of carelessness or ignorance? Most people do not have a good understanding of where gluten is found in the food supply. Even those with celiac disease find there is a considerable learning curve involved to this. I mean, who would ever suspect that wheat is an ingredient in soy sauce and in most canned tomato soups, even some chocolate syrups and pancake syrups? Is your dad open to being educated about sources of gluten? Do you think your family members understand that celiac disease is not an allergy but is an autoimmune disorder that can permanently damage your body over time if gluten is not avoided? I think you may need to struggle with this until you are in a position to move out of your family home into your own dwelling where you have complete control over what you eat. I also want you to know that you are not alone in this problem. On this forum, we have had a number of threads started by young people in your same situation.

      Yes, but I also have separated gluten-free and gluten foods in the kitchen but they don't seem to respect it. Especially my brother. We have two jam jars one with a large red sticker and one large green one.  Red is gluten, Green is gluten-free. It's the same with yogurt. He'll intentionally put granola in my yogurt and mix it then dump it out and leave contaminated yogurt in my container and I eat it and have a reaction. Then there's my father, he's better but he doesn't read ingredients or gluten-free scanner apps till after it gives me a reaction  I'm 17. I can cook my own meals but I go to school 3 days a week, and work 4 days a week.  No I'm not usually the one making meals but lately I've been staying up late to make myself gluten-free meals
