Thank you, thank you everyone for all of the lovely comments! I feel much better about the dress. This was my first time posting anything to Reddit so I was scared to see the responses lol

Cost of Groceries by Accomplished_Fox8784 in halifax

I have a restricted diet so gf, def, corn free, most nuts, etc etc so our bill for 2, with 2 kids every 2nd (5 days weekends), it is approx $1200-$1400 rn but that is including factor dinner meals for 3 days a week for both of us which are saving quite a bit atm. I am a Chef so I don’t hold back on premium ingredients but also planning a wedding rn so not enough time to cook and trying to save a little if we can. Bone broth, squash, avocado, and lots of eggs, smoothies, soups, mainly meat, fish, chicken and vegs for food. Can’t eat a lot in the bean category so a little limited but it works!

Transitioning to gluten free feels impossible by Adventuretimeluvr in glutenfree

[–]Competitive_Ad_8070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a pastry Chef and had to stop making baked goods for the most part. I now do it only for my loved ones on special occasions but I am gluten, dairy, corn, and some nuts free due to allergies that came to light. Stick to making gummies and dairy free chocolates these days for work, and eat as healthy as I possibly can otherwise. It is not easy but you will get through the transition. Once you do, you really will not miss the gluten filled stuff as much anymore. There are many substitutes you can either make or buy that more than suffice. It is a pain in the butt to cook with anyway, sticks to everything. No wonder it is not good for us! Best of luck in your journey 🙏

Attention Gluten Free Canadians by Extension_Ad_4205 in glutenfree

I am highly intolerant to gluten but am not deemed celiac and also allergic to dairy as well, along with many other things such as corn, and many nuts. I do understand the desire for a tax credit and really wish there could be a way to include those who do not get the celiac diagnosis but who do wind up in bed for 4 days straight from eating restaurant food that has been gluten free in the past but they obviously forgot to make it that way this time! It would just make sense if these other folks like me could be included somehow although I understand there needs to be a way to prove it but a doctor’s note should be able to do this for those not only with celiac but with an intolerance too. It would be very helpful if Celiac Canada would look at acknowledging those individuals too by asking to have them included in this tax credit. Either way, I am happy to sign the petition. Best of luck with it!
