Is Whistler gluten-free friendly?

Hello!

My family is going to Whistler to snowboard for one week in February.  This is our first time to Canada since my 12 year-old was diagnosed with celiac.

Can our Canadian friends tell me if Canada is gluten-free friendly in general?   Can I expect to find gluten-free menus in restaurants in the Whistler area?   Are the food servers and chefs generally familiar with gluten-free, and are they accommodating?

Finally, can we expect to find gluten-free lunch options on the slopes of the ski resort?

Any general and specific restaurant information will be appreciated!

Google "restaurants in Whistler".  Have a peak at their menu to see what options you have.  Thats what I do every time I travel.  I HAVE to pre plan before we go anywhere.

I would recommend stopping at a grocery store to get some handy healthy snacks for emergencies.

Usually, there are a lot of options at grocery stores.

Whistler eateries can be staffed by transient workers. Some ( not all) really don't care/or know about dietary restrictions.  

I would for sure google then contact them to see what they say regarding food allergies.  If you get a good feeling from their reply...I would for sure go there.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
