The Hi Ball Restaurant in the Stadium shopping center will accomodate those with Celiac, only deep fried items can not be changed.

I am sorely disappointed in the Palliser Hotel in Calgary. I was there for a conference this weekend. They were notified months ago that there would be two Celiacs there and others. They did a great deal to accomodate the diabetics etc. But the other Celiac and I they did manage to bring us out a sandwich on rice bread but all the desserts and breakfast foods there was nothing for us. Their restaurant and lounge had an even sorrier display of food. The only thing we could eat on the menu's was the nachos. A sorry thing to be sure for a large expensive hotel like that. They also did not know how to turn the heat up as we all froze to death for two days.

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience :( I'll make a mental note not to go there if I'm in Calgary.

Really???? That is so cool! I really like Hi Ball, it is right across the street from where I work and not terribly far from where I live. Can you tell me what you had there??? I have typically brought in Chinese food for Chinese New Year (which is this weekend), something sort of fun I brought back with me from my years on the west coast. The kids enjoy it. We make our own sticky rice and get dishes from the restaraunt. I am sure missing it!! Thanks so much for the tip, and any more details you have will be appreciated.

Yes, please tell us what you had at the Hi Ball. We are hoping to go to Calgary sometime this year :rolleyes: That's if all stays well on the North Coast and we don't have to make another trip up there.

The Calgary Celiac Association newsletter (end of 2005) says that the Oriental Palace restaurant in Parkdale (pretty much down the hill from Foothills, I think) has a selection of recipes that can be converted to gluten-free.

The article says it's:

Oriental Palace Peking Cuisine, Fully Licensed

9 Parkdale Cres. N.W. *

283-5564

*Parkdale Crescent is actually part of Memorial Drive NW and the restaurant is located in a small strip mall just below the Foothills Hospital.

I think if you're going there from 29th (is the the street Foothills is on?) when you get to the bottom of the hill, turn west (right) and head toward Shaganappi Trail. It's near a coffee shop called the Lazy Loaf or Lazy Kitchen or something like that. There's a big sign for the restaurant. I haven't eaten there, but stopped in to check out the menu one day.

I've never even heard of the Hi Ball. Is that near the Luciano's across from Foothills? Can kids eat there or is it a bar/lounge kind of place?

The first time I had vegetables no soy sauce and some curried rice noodles with shrimps it was excellent, with steamed rice.

This time I had something Schezwan noodles or something like

that, except instead of the thick noodles I had rice noodles no soy sauce, it had pork, chicken and shrimp it was good.

Gee Skoki you must live pretty close to me. I think next time I will talk to him about hot and sour soup. They told me anything I wanted that was not deep fried or the ginger chicken or beef, dumplings or the the wheat or egg noodles or anything that is premade. He will sub in the rice noodles if you want.

This is a family restaurant and is up by Lucianos and next door to the Cat House.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
