Follow me on Twitter and Facebook

Hi all!


So its become clear that i no longer update this site enough and therefore recommend that you all follow me on Facebook and Twitter. That way we can even have conversations about Celiac disease, gluten intolerance, etc.

I have recently been going to the doctor for abnormal stomach pain and plan to do an allergy/detox test really soon and would love to tweet about it and hope you can follow along. I will have recipes, thoughts and most likely a few rants about missing certain foods (cheese mostly).

I will also try and start up a more "social page" of some sort. Meaning that you will be able to speak to me directly with questions or concerns or better yet ask me about my restaurant and/or grocery store recommendations (probably my favourite part about this whole blog thing).


Take care and hope to be seeing you soon on my other forms of social media :)

Gluten Free Food in Saint John, NB

Hi there!

Thanks to a wonderful post from a follower named Sara I am passing along this extensive list of restaurants in the SJ area in New Brunswick!

I know I have been away for a while, what with the holidays and everything, but stay tuned for more frequent updates with recipes! I am also going to try and do a Q&A format for some of you with recurring questions about a GF diet.

Here is the list:

Locally owned restaurants in SJ with GF menus:

Opera Bistro is FANTASTIC for allergies; run by a professional chef and his wife who is a nutritionist. They even have GF desserts.

Relish Gourmet Burgers carries GF hamburger buns.

The Urban Deli has GF bread for their sandwiches, and they even have GF pastas and soups, and a few desserts.

Thandi's, the Thai Hut, Suwanna's and Lemongrass have GF Thai options.

Chains:

Boston Pizza has an allergy menu and even has GF pizza crust (I cried the day I found that out!).

Montana's is another spot with an allergy menu: lists what products and sauces you can have.

The Wok Box has a few GF items on their menu as well.

There are definitely more restaurants in SJ but the ones above are the best for accommodating food allergies.



Take care,

Your celiac friend xo
