Gluten Free In Canda

Hey there, I live in beautiful British Columbia Canada ( Kelowna ) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any Candian restaraunts that are accomidating to the gluten free diet? I am at the point now where I want to start venturing out, with friends, instead of always eating at home first, but I am not sure at ALL where would be a good place to start.

Thanks for any help :-P

Hi I live in Vernon BC, and Im having the same problem. I have tried a few places though and this is what Ive found. KT's in Vernon states they have a gluten free menu, but when you get there they still use the same equipment to make everything, and both times i tried what they stated was definatly gluten free and i got sick. Theres a place called 2 peas in vernon that is a gluten, candidia and dibetics place, which is for lunch, and its great, they have 2 seperate kitchens so you dont have to worry about anything. Boston Pizza in vernon is pretty good at listening to the allergy questions, adn are very accomidating to what you can have and letting you know what you cant. In kelowna is a place called Taco Del Mar, which is really good, but mostly for lunchs as well. good luck, the best thing ive done is if youre going out for dinner is calling the restaurant before, during a quiet time and talking to the manager, most of the time they give you right to the cook and if they dont have anythingon the menu many restaurants will make you something seperate, which is awsome.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bernade! There are a couple of possibilities here what is causing your up and down experience since being diagnosed with celiac disease and beginning the gluten free journey. One is that you are not yet consistent in avoiding gluten. It is easy to avoid major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta but to arrive at a completely gluten free state on a consistent basis is much harder and involves a real learning curve. Gluten is found in some many food products that you would never expect to find it in. Just a couple of examples: soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually). Gluten can be in medications, pills and supplements as a filler. And if you are still eating out at restaurants you are very likely getting "glutened" by cross contamination even when you have ordered foods that are naturally gluten free. Another is that you have other food intolerances in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community and the most common culprits are dairy, oats, soy, eggs and corn. Some foods have proteins that resemble gluten closely enough so as to cause a celiac reaction for some celiacs.

      Dealing with Celiac for 6 months now at first I felt fine and thought it’s a bunch of nonsense it’s not going to make much difference if I have gluten or not I could deal with it how bad could it be??? I try now very very hard to not even smell gluten it is such a very very misunderstood issue.But honestly there are days I feel great then others feeling horrible like body aches headaches and nausea and I just don’t know why I do not eat it I read everything is it airborne can there be other things we just don’t know about yet is there a medication we need to take or should??? Anyone have the same issues???
