Low Carb & Atkins Diet

Hey,
I'm brand new to this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me find shirataki noodles in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I have Celiac disease so these sound ideal for me as they are low carb and gluten free.

Thanks!
Yvette

If you can't find them locally in Asian or health food stores (look in the refrigerated section) you can probably order them from here:

Thanks! Other sites I saw were all American and were unclear about duty etc to Canada.
I just ordered several things that I wasn't able to find locally! Can't wait for them to arrive Very Happy

Thanks again!

I finally got them and tried the noodles last night.
Not bad. The liquid it ships in smells HORRIBLE. You really have to rinse it A LOT...and then rinse it some more. LOL
I boiled them for 4 minutes and then had it with some low carb pasta sauce and chicken. A nice change of pace.
One thing I didn't do that they recommend is to cut them into smaller sizes before boiling.I wish I had because it was harder to eat with them left long.

There are some Asian grocery stores around here. Now that I know the noodles are good I may ask them to see if they can start bringing them in.
