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.

Not totally off-topic.... but is Clamato gluten-free?

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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
