Breakfast, Lunch & Supper In Edmonton

Hi Edmontonians,

We are heading up at the end of April for the AMPIA awards and will be staying at a hotel whose name I can't remember, but it's at the top of that windy road near the Hotel MacDonald and "above" the Muttart Conservatory. It's on Jasper Ave. or 104 something that goes East-West. Sorry I can't be more specific.

My concern is that we will need lunch, supper and the following morning breakfast for my gluten-free son. He's six. I imagine that I can bring some cereal for him (his usual breakfast is puffed rice cereal or gluten-free cornflakes), but I'm concerned about lunch and supper. Any good restaurants with gluten-free food that is suitable for a 6 year old? Something with gluten-free pasta maybe? Do you have Chianti restaurants there? We will also try to hit the Kinnickinnik store (it is a store as well as a factory, right?) so if any of you can post an address, that'd be great.

We will also spend a couple of hours at WEM, any place there that a 6 year old can eat? Of course I will pack some snacks, but I don't want to carry a 20lb backpack in the mall.

Thanks in advance,

Linda

Hi,

I don't know what Hotel you're staying at, but obviously you're downtown. There is a Chianti's on Whyte (82nd) Ave. About, 10 minutes from downtown. There is also a Sorrentino's downtown... right by the Macdonald. I don't know about that location but I know the southside one on Calgary Trail has gluten-free pasta. So you could try giving them a call to ask. Personally, I like the atmosphere of Sorentinos better than Chianti's, I find Chianti's really noisy but it may just be when I went. As for West Ed, there's a Swiss Chalet in the food court. There is also two Outbacks here. I haven't tried the one across the street from West Ed, but the people at the one on Calgary Trail, you'll see it on your way in to town, has knowledgable staff. And your boys could even have the fries there because they have a dedicated fryer. Of course double check when you go! There's also a pizza place that does gluten-free pizza, perfect for lunch maybe? It's called Pizzeria Prego and they use Kinnickinnick crusts. 10" is about 12 bucks, so not really any different than regular pizza. It's on 111st and about 58th ave, right by the Sunterra and the Ambulance Station. I believe they'll deliver too.

Kinnickinnik is the factory outlet. You can get fresh baking, like pies and cakes, though they aren't overly useful about the ingredients. Unless the ingredients are on the package it's sometimes difficult to get help. A disappointment for me for sure, as I have allergies to everything!

--- Here's the info though... 10940 120 St, (780) 424-2900 It's kinda in the middle of no where. Doesn't look like the right area at all for a store so if you think that, you're in the right place!

Hope this helps a bit. If you have any other questions let me know.

** I posted another list of restaurants that I go to under the Celiac Friendly Restaurants in Canada awhile back. Might want to have a look?

There is a vegan restaurant at 97th Street and 107th Avenue called Padmandi's. I have never eaten there but they are supposed to have a gluten-free selection. Their menu is apparently huge. High Level Diner 10912-88 Ave is supposed to offer some gluten-free foods, also I haven't eaten there since going gluten-free. I have not had any problems with McDonalds fries, since they are Gluten-free Casein-free in Canada. The Organic grocery store is just south of Whyte on Calgary Trail, if you do need anything. Also, there is a Save-On Foods (which you don't have in Calgary) located downtown, 109th street and like one block north of Jasper Ave, if you are driving north on 109th street, it is on the left. They have many gluten-free foods.

Sicilian Pasta Kitchen on the south side has a gluten-free pasta option. Call the downtown location to find out. They are on Jasper Ave. But, the owner of the southside said only eat the tomato based sauces not the cream ones as they are not gluten-free.

I think there is a McDonalds in WEM, if not for sure there is one near it. There is a Mexican restaurant in WEM called, shoot I can't remember, anyways if he can eat cheese maybe you could have nachos. I used to eat there all the time before I went gluten-free. I didn't eat dairy at the time and they were very helpful. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. Tokyo Express is in the food court. They list there ingredients on their sushi packages. I'm not sure if there is a New York Fries in WEM. But I eat them at uni all the time. Plain fries, yummy.

If I think of anything else, I will write more.

In response to Felidae, there is both a McDonald's and a New York Fries (which I too eat all the time at uni) at WEM. He might be talking about Julio's Barrio, maybe? And the Organic Grocery store off whyte is Planet Organic.

Thanks, Ladies, at least now I know he won't be stuck with puffed rice and Envirokidz bars. I'm jotting all this down and putting it in a safe place until April. (Not too safe, I hope, I have to be able to find it again!)

Would you mind telling me where to buy Kinnickinnik bread at? I've never heard of it and I live in NJ.

Thanks. It's not available online either. I'm looking for a great sandwich bread for my two teens and/or a bread mix will be good too. Thanks. :)

Kinnikinnick is the largest gluten-free online distributor in North America.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
