Read about their rise to fame!
Like so many other gluten-free manufacturers, these Celiac Superstars began their journeys in their own kitchens when they tried – and succeeded – in creating delicious facsimiles that they or a close family member were missing due to dietary restrictions.
Through word of mouth and plenty of ‘tastings,’ they began providing samples to celiac, gluten-free, wheat sensitive and/or dairy-free people in their communities.
Based on the responses they received and with more hard work, they invested in appearing at food shows, gluten-free expos and Canadian Celiac Associations Conferences. One in particular even asked Dragons’s Den for support – and got it!
Independent retailers were the first to adopt these brands – often in response to our requests. Here in Victoria, our community is ever grateful to the following businesses: Country Grocer • Deep Cove Market • Lifestyle Markets • Market on Millstream • Market on Yates • Mother Nature’s Market & Deli • Pepper’s Foods • Sante Gluten-Free Cafe
Finally, with a dedicated following and promising sales, Screamin, Stella’s and Gramma Dee’s approached the great people at SaveOn Foods and their affiliates. We offer our thanks to SaveOn Foods for Supporting Local Celiacs! Please support them for supporting us! Beat a trail to your local SaveOn while quantities last. Again, if you can’t find the products, be sure to ask the staff to direct you.
Screamin Brothers We owe it all to Dawson and his food sensitivities! Screamin Brother JR may be tall, and little brothers Joseph and David cute, but if you have gluten-intolerance and/or an allergies to milk, egg, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, sulphites, sesame seeds, seafood and mustard, Dawson deserves all of our thanks!

Stella’s story began with a little boy, a very sore tummy and finally, a diagnosis. Autism. With tons of therapy, natural interventions and changes to son Korbin’s diet, Keri Adams Gluten-Free Perogies and Ravioli were born. Dairy, egg, and soy-free, Keri was able to reverse 95% of Korbin’s symptoms. She and her husband were on their way to getting their baby back using her grandmother Stella’s recipe and fresh potatoes from a local farmer as their base. Read the rest of their story here
