Gluten free breakfast in Moncton, New Brunswick was hard for me to track down, but a random suggestion of a breakfast joint by hotel staff led me to a restaurant which, luckily, includes gluten-free toast on the menu.
The Garden Breeze restaurant is located at 500 Kennedy St., Dieppe (central Moncton) and you can call them at 855-0564. I had bacon and toast, and it was as good as any similar breakfast. I did not ask about cross contamination of the toaster, choosing to take the risk.
If you stay at Coastal Inns, breakfast at Garden Breeze is included. I stayed at Comfort Inn which does not have a full gluten free breakfast.

Orzenin is the prolamine gluten protein unique to rice. It is considered safe for celiacs. While OK for most people with a gluten allergy, there are exceptions.
Every type of grain, including wheat, barley oats and rye, but also corn, rice, sorgum and other grains, contains one or more forms of gluten. However only specific types of gluten found in wheat (gliadin), barley (hordein), rye (secalinin) and possibly oats (avenin – open to debate, I suggest avoiding it for now) are of interest to celiac disease.
Even the above broad statement is open to debate; some people recommend avoiding all grains for celiacs when recovering from celiac disease symptoms associated with eating wheat, barley, rye and oats. [click to continue…]
