Schar gluten free products are now widely available in Canada. This week I speak with both the North American and Canadian reps for Schar to find out how they are working to get the products into more stores, and bring in more innovative products from their US and European product lines.

My Thoughts –
My search for a diagnosis of celiac disease was typical – it was about 18 years and countless doctors. When I was finally diagnosed, I was living with my husband and two young daughters in Bermuda. Bermuda is a very small island; only 26 miles long and one mile wide, with a total population similar to a small city in Ontario. Like most newly diagnosed celiacs, I scoured every food store for foods marked “Gluten Free”.
Bermuda is a British protectorate, with a great mixture of food products from Britain, the US and Canada. My years in Bermuda as a celiac were made so much better by the availability of Schar products imported from Britain. We were able to buy biscuits and breads, when they would not have been available in a similar sized community in Canada.
Many years later, when my family returned to live in Canada, there was much more availability of gluten free foods, and although I missed the Schar products I had grown to love, there were other innovative gluten free foods to take their place. I am happy to again see bright yellow Schar packages on my supermarket shelves. The company has listened to consumers, constantly improving and adding to their product line.
I trusted Schar products when I was first diagnosed, and am happy to welcome them back into my kitchen and my diet.
