I know there is someone on this board who lived in Banff and I know there is a post that says where you can get good gluten-free foods in Banff, but I can't find it. I know about Nutters in Canmore and there's the health food store in the mall in Banff, but where else? I know other places were posted. I haven't actually tried shopping at either place since being gluten-free but I used to spend all my summers in Canmore and Nutters was an awesome store for all my other problems.

I'm going to be in Banff this coming week and weekend for one of my dad's conferences. I'm staying at the Rimrock so I know that eating in will be fine (they've taken good care of me before), but I'd like to have some snacks etc. Of course I'll take stuff with me but it's always nice to know locations in and around where I'm going.

Any restaurants? I used to love Des Alpes in Canmore, but it's shut down.

Banff is limited and REALLY expensive. It caters to the needs of tourists. I'd pick stuff up in Calgary if you can.

Weeds & Seeds sells gluten-free products. 211 Bear Street (403-760-5060)

Coyotes restaurant has well trained chefs and they should be able to accomodate you. It is just down the road from Weeds & Seeds.

Banff has a population (5000+) of many locals that make low wages but still have to eat there. You just have to get off the main street and there are some deals to be found.

I do shop away from main street, but I find that the best prices in Banff are still about 10-20% higher than the best prices in Calgary.

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
