I'm travelling to Canada for two weeks and I read somewhere on the message board...awhile back...about a gluten-free restaurant in Calgary, Alberta. However, I can't find that information. Can anyone out there give me the name and address of this restaurant? I would greatly appreciate your help! (so would my daughter who would benefit the most!)

It's called Splitt Pourhouse & Grill at 7746 Elbow Drive S.W. (about 5 blocks south of Glenmore on Elbow Dr.)

ph: (403) 212-0304.

Owner's name is Jeff.

If you do a search on this site for Splitt, there will be a couple of threads with reviews, etc. We haven't been because my gluten-free son is only 6 and so far they aren't letting kids in because it's a restaurant/bar/lounge.

My understanding was that only after 4:00 they don't allow kiddos...but they do for breakfast and lunch. Does that sound right? I guess I'll just look 'em up and call them directly. My daughter is 9.

Hmm. Not sure about that. I spoke to the owner the second or third day after it opened and he said maybe they would start allowing kids, but just then they weren't letting kids in. Call them and double check.

Clamato is NOT gluten-free! Heinz Tomato juice is though, and it works for Caesars, etc.

Back on topic...does anyone know where to get gluten-free beer in Canada? I have not had much luck and it looks like I really will have to import it. :(

I plan on taking a road trip out to Calgary, so I will let you know what I think of Splitt. Not sure exactly WHEN, but a chance to eat out without worry is at the top of my list, so soon.

I live in Winnipeg, MB and Regina, SK (for school), and I can tell you that Regina overall is quite good for eating out and buying gluten-free, especially for a small (200,000 ppl) city. Shelley Case, a RD with Celiac lives here. She has also published a well known book on Celiac, but the name escapes me right now. I think she has personally gone to certain restaurant chains here to explain CC and the gluten-free diet. 9/10 times every restaurant I go to is familiar with the gluten-free diet at least somewhat. Nothing is guaranteed of course, but at least you don't get that blank stare... :unsure: There are also health food stores (Old Fashion Foods) that sell every gluten-free product imaginable throughout the city. Winnipeg has about 700,000 ppl, and is not NEARLY as Celiac friendly. I couldn't find 1 bakery in Winnipeg to make me a gluten-free cake for my birthday (They laughed! The nerve!), but my bf was able to get 1 whole cake in Regina in one day. I almost ate it just as fast ;)

Western Sellers is the only liquor store in Alberta (that I know of) that sells Le Messagerie gluten-free beer. The only gluten-free beer in Canada.

I just got some La Messagere at Alberta Spirits! Seems like they're expanding where they sell it.

I wasn't a beer drinker before, but this stuff isn't too bad.

It's delicious. The store I buy it at used to bring in small quantities and now they order two pallets every order and they sell fast.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
