This Site is No Longer Being Updated

When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease,  I had lots of questions.  I wanted to know where to buy Gluten-free products and what restaurants are able to provide a gluten-free meal. I noticed that people on the Celiac listerv wanted information about other cities they were planning to visit.  I hope this site provides some guidance to other Celiacs.

The main features of this site are the Restaurant Guide, the Retail Guide--a listing of Toronto area businesses selling gluten-free products--and the Mail Order Guide, a listing of companies outside of the greater Toronto area providing gluten-free products.  A few links are also provided, including a extensive listing of books.

With persistence, and a little luck, you should be able to get a gluten-free meal in most restaurants.  Jax Peters Lowell's book, Against the Grain: the Slightly Eccentric Guide to Living Well Without Gluten or Wheat, contains valuable tips on dealing with wait staff and chefs.  If you are vegetarian, eating gluten-free in restaurants is a bigger challenge.

The Restaurant Guide contains listings of establishments that I have had a positive experience with (and are close to my home or work) and those that have been recommended to me by others.  I hope to add to this list regularly.

I have no financial interest in any of the businesses listed in these pages.  I do not guarantee that the company, store, or restaurants' products listed here are gluten-free.  As a Celiac, it is your responsibility to take an active role in your health.  You must ask questions and verify any information that has come to you second hand.
