gluten-free Stampede Breakfast Yesterday

Yesterday morning we took Ty to the Calgary Celiac Association Stampede Breakfast. We had gluten-free/lactose free pancakes, Spolumbo sausages and juice. At the breakfast was a guy serving up samples of gluten-free pizza. I got the impression it was a pretty new company "Judy G Gluten Free". They sell little pizzas about 9" or 10" in three flavours. Black Forest Ham & Pineapple, Pepperoni & Green Pepper and something else with the word Mediterranean in the title. They also sell a box of two shells w/o toppings so you can add your own. I can't remember all the ingredients, but I think the shells were dairy and soy free. They are available at a few health food stores in Calgary. Amaranth, both Community Natural Health food stores and I can't remember where else.

My non-gluten-free husband, who loves pizza said it was "all right". Ty didn't try any. He also only ate half the pancakes, but that's because pancakes are "disgusting" not because they didn't taste good. They were really good. They were made from the Kinnikinnick mix.

I can't find the Judy G website. I don't have the business card with me. The website just links you to an email address for inquiries anyway. The guy said they'd be in the freezer section of the HFS.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to go to Amaranth and find them. I hope the shells are dairy free too!

The website is Open Original Shared Link the website only links you to her email, but it's worth a shot to email for dairy info rather than drive all the way to the store to be disappointed. The email is: judy@judygfoods.com

Good luck, I hope you'll be able to eat it.

I couldn't go to said breakfast because I slipped in Zellers on Friday and have sprained my ankle, wrist, tore adductor, hamstring muscles, bruised my ribs and threw my whole back out.

I knew Spolumbo's are gluten-free. I missed the Amaranth breakfast they had that in June.

It still is, not only that but I have lost approximately $2000. in wages, another $2000. for an article I was to supply to a magazine on what Celiac's have to eat at the Stampede grounds (which is probably still nothing) and that was with pictures and I had a death in the family also. If I had only missed one day of work Zellers would have not been bothered again by me. But their floor was so slippery and very shiny.

Ouch, Rusla! That sounds painful :( Hope you feel better soon--and drop by here more often ;)

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon. Too bad about the Stampede article. I would have loved to read that. When we went, we took popcorn and apples. We were only there from 6pm until 10:30, but they did have some fudge where the workers were knowledgeable. We asked what the fudge was made from and they said do you have allergies. My husband said, "He can't have wheat." I said, "He's celiac, he can't have wheat, rye, oats or barley." The one gal pointed and said okay, he can have any of these and then an older lady piped up and said he can have them all except the Oreo. She knew Oreos were made from wheat flour. :D

My one friend said we should go to the breakfast on kids day, it's free. I said what will Ty eat. He said, surely they'll have gluten-free pancakes there. I laughed at him.

Well, I have next year for the article, I guess. I lost a lot because of their overly waxed floors.

I cannot believe your friend thought they would have anything gluten-free for the breakfasts at the grounds. It is hard enough to find gluten-free in stores and restaurants.

I still hurt and my doctor says it will be awhile but I have to go back to work Thursday and that is 50 stairs to climb, it will be a tough day.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
