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.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
