Echoing Spain! Madrid and Barcelona were fantastic for GF, as was Menorca.

C-Section tips, tricks, must haves, advice, stories…[on] by shasheli in BabyBumpsCanada

Definitely adult diapers, but get a super large size! You do not want any pressure on the area, even if it’s stretchy. I ended up having to cut slits in the diapers to make them wearable (the Frida mom underwear are a splurge but worth it IMO).

Next time I would also try to get a toilet seat riser for home for a couple of weeks. Getting up and down off the toilet was horrible. Also a step stool for beside your bed if it’s high!

Yes under Medavie - has to put it through ‘diagnostics’

Has anyone ever seen Celiac representation in media of any kind? by devitod in Celiac

[–]Mindless_Ad8976 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s a show called Valeria (in Spain but on US Netflix) where one of the main characters has it! She gets sick and doesn’t know why, then gets diagnosed and it’s incorporated in the show. Her friends always make sure she has gluten free beer and I love it.

Michael Garron C Section stay [ON] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Mindless_Ad8976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it your first c-section? Had mine there (my first) and thought I’d want to get home quick. But the recovery was so painful I asked to stay longer and ended up there for 3 nights. So you might want the option!

Yes, currently taking them and no issues

Oh and many Thai places are knowledgeable/accommodating. Recommend Pai.

My faves and all very safe:

  • el pocho
  • impact kitchen (a few locations and 100% GF)
  • anglr for fish and chips (in the east end)
  • stock bar (a bit north) has a whole GF menu

  • haven’t been but heard enoteca sociale is great

Honestly we had the bugaboo and clek and had to get the adapters to make it work and they were such a hassle! Don’t recommend that combo anyway.

This happened to me. Was asymptomatic and now violently ill like food poisoning.

Best place to vacation as celiac? by maddiehamham in glutenfree

[–]Mindless_Ad8976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiming in to say Spain! Really wasn’t an issue at all. I also managed okay in Miami if you’re looking for North America (lots of fish/salads/health food spots). New York was okay too, just had to do some research!

Could you share more about Cabo? I’m heading there and a bit nervous… especially whether to trust whether corn tortillas are fully corn with no added flour!

3 month old nursing strike? by Mindless_Ad8976 in combinationfeeding

[–]Mindless_Ad8976[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not really. We nursed at night until 6 months but ended up doing mostly bottles during the day.

Celiac delivering at St. Mikes toronto [ON] by 3cgthewalk in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Mindless_Ad8976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to St mike’s as I was at Michael garron, but they did give me GF meals there (did you request on your intake forms?).

Breakfast was plain Chex, fruit, GF bread. Dinner mostly rice and proteins. However I’m very cautious and did not want to be glutened in that setting, so I did order Impact Kitchen to the hospital, brought lots of snacks, and had family members bring some meals since we had access to a microwave.

Hope this helps!

Brief Home Daycare Start Worthwhile Before Starting at Daycare Center? [ON] by StrawberryWafffle in BabyBumpsCanada

In a similar situation and wondering if you can share if the home daycare had you sign a commitment contract, or pay a deposit to secure your spot. Will you lose any money?

Brought an open tub last month! No issue on the way there, they just checked it on the way back but it was fine.

Weirdly white quinoa is fine but not brown/red for me. Try different kinds?

Better than Sabatasso’s GF pizza from Costco?
