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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
