Okay you BC bunch. If you know of any good gluten-free restaurants in Victoria it would be appreciated if you can post the names for me. Also, has any one ate at the "The Joint" on Wharf street it is a pizza place that boasts of alternative pizza including wheat /gluten-free.

Thanks!

Rusla!!! It's so great to see you :wub:

I haven't been to Victoria in a couple of years now, and when I was there either Mert's cousin did the cooking, or my Celiac daughter. So not much help.

Was having ice cream Sundaes at Dairy Queen though :lol:

Are you going for holiday, or moving there?

I got this from the Victoria association last summer. There's more for Nanaimo and Central/North Island. PM me with your email address and I'll send a WORD document if you'd like.

Wow! this is great Linda, thanks. I am staying at the Marriott.

Shirley, I will more than likely wish I was moving there. I am only going for 3 day to a conference. I will probably cry when I come back. If I win the lottery I am moving to BC. It is funny I was born and raised in Alberta but my heart belongs to BC, in Canada. It also belongs to a few Carribean countries too.

If you are after gluten free snacks and cooking supplies I believe there is a health food store called Lifestyles on Douglas St heading out of the city centre as well.

Rusla ... is the conference being held at the Empress? A nurses conference??? I have a Celiac friend in Trail who is going to a conference there! She's an OR nurse. In fact I just had coffee with her today in Trail.

Victoria is beautiful, you will not want to go back for sure :P But you will enjoy the three days!

Olive Grove

4496 W Saanich Rd.

479-9361

Superb choice for dining gluten-free

gluten-free pasta & pizza plus so many other gluten-free menu choices; $$

I do NOT recommend this restaurant for celiacs, unless you are willing to pay a LOT of money, or receive terrible customer service. I ordered gluten free pizzas over the phone to pick-up and was told the price of the pizza (2-for-1 special), upon pick-up I was told that gluten free pizza's were not considered for the 2-for-1 special and would have to pay extra. A LOT extra. I was given the option to pay for both, or pay for only one and get only one, with absolutely no understanding or consideration for their mistake. The WORST customer service I have ever received and will never go back.

For up-to-date information on Victoria, you can always check www.victoriaceliac.org

There are lists of restaurants and grocery stores that have gluten-free food.

As for the Olive Grove, I have found them to be very accomodating. They even give you gluten-free rice crackers and hummus instead of bread to start.

      What do these results mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Nstvns03! Immunoglobulin A Qn is not a test for celiac disease per se. It's what we commonly call "total IGA" and it is a test used to determine if there is IGA deficiency. If there is IGA deficiency, the individual IGA tests done to look for celiac disease are going to be artificially low and this can produce false negatives. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient. But the question needs to be asked, had you already been practicing a reduced gluten diet when the blood draw was done for these tests?

      I had celiac testing done and the only think in that test that was high was the immunoglobulin A Qn results was off the chart high at 419. Does this confirm celiac if everything else but that test was normal?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Itsabit · Posted

      Thank you for clarifying! Something to possibly consider as I continue on my “non-gluten” quest and if I do not improve, but being new to this whole realm and already overwhelmed and stressed, this would have pushed me over the edge right now. 🥹

      Thanks for the information, knitty kitty. It helps bring some clarity and reduces the confusion that misinformation such as is contained in this thread title introduces into the community. People new to the celiac experience are already struggling to wrap their minds around not being able to eat just wheat, barley and rye any longer. We don't need to unnecessarily add to the list on "no no" foods. And I saw where you added this same post to the thread on oats as well.

      Thank you for your reply. 56 years! Wow!  It seems we all suffer for many years before this diagnosis and I’ll stay hopeful that I can try more foods after healing. I have a very limited diet at present. Onwards and upwards 😊
