Gluten-free Food And Restaurants In Montreal


Suzie-GFfamily

Recommended Posts

Anyone live in Montreal or travel there often?

I'm looking for some suggestions of places to eat in the city. I'd like places that are casual (I'll have my children with me)- perhaps places that only the locals know about??? Any type of cuisine- could be American, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian, Greek... we like virtually everything.

Anything within the city.... doesn't have to be in the tourist section. If it is accessible by metro than it will do... Cote des Neiges, the Plateau, NDG, Parc extension, Snowdon, Pie IX, etc. Of course, if you have any recommendations for places along Ste. Catherine or the Old Port, that would be good too.

I used to live in Montreal before I was diagnosed as celiac, so I'm familiar with the city but not familiar with gluten-free-friendly restaurants.

Any suggestions for places to buy gluten-free products would be welcome too... we'll be eating some of our meals in our hotel room.

Just contaced Swiss Chalet and found out they don't have any restaurants in Montreal :(

Does anyone know if the rotisserie chicken at St. Hubert (the Quebec version of Swiss Chalet) is gluten-free? Does anyone have any experience eating there?

Also- disappointed to find very few Wendy's locations in Montreal. There were none listed in the downtown area at all. Their website shows 2 locations in the very north east part of the city and 2 on Decarie.

Hi Suzie,

In case you are still looking for places to eat in Montreal, we have found a great restaurant called ZERO 8 (they avoid 8 of the most common allergens in food inc. gluten). You can find it on the web. It is located on St-Denis at the Berry metro station. Very easy to get to. It's not cheap, but the food is excellent. They also sell frozen meals to go (and bread). The staff is also fantastic.

Hello,

I live in Montreal, and keep looking for places to go. So if you find some more let us know.

We are very lucky to have two places that serve gluten free dishes close by in NDG. Casa Azul serves Mexican food in amazing corn flour tortillas (ask them to use a clean pan as they also have wheat tortillas). The second is Bangkok express, They have many wheat free dishes, and the only ones that do have the wheat, the wheat is in the sauce which is added at the end on the serving plate, so no cross contamination.

They have a breaded cho-chi fish (rice flour based) that my son LOVES!! We loved it before he was diagnosed!!

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.
