Hi everyone!

I am going to Edmonton on Friday and am staying for a week to visit some friends. I know we are going to be out a lot and I am wondering if anyone who lives there can suggest some restaurants! I know about Outback steakhouse which I love!! And Tomy Romas and Montanas... but those two I eat at so frequently I would love to try something new. My friends are in the Whyte Ave. area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Courtney :)

hi try chiante's on wyte i here that they have a gluten-free pasta line up, as well greek food is great becuase for the most part most of the sauces are vinager and oil. BP's is a good alternative just let the staff know so they dont cross contiminate, you can have the natchos their. their is a mexican resteruant on wyte ave as well that has lots of corn tacos and stuff too, good luck!

I lived in Edmonton for the past 5 years and I have to say that Normand's is one of the best restuarants. It's on Jasper Ave. A bit pricy, but definitely Celiac-safe. They even serve you your own toasted bread before the meal....and they have gluten-free cake.

Another good choice is Organic Roots (by the University). It's a market and restuarant all in one. It is good for any meal. Good prices and great atmoshere. Always let the staff know you have Celiac before you order.

If you are staying on Whyte, make sure to go shopping at Planet Organic (just off Whyte on Calgary Trail). It is my home away from home. I miss Edmonton....

The Canadian Celiac Association: Edmonton Chapter has some restuarant ideas. You might want to google them before you go! I pretty much stuck to my same-old restaurants.

Happy trails,

Heather : )

What I wrote yesterday...

Swiss Chalet and Milestone's are part of the same chain as Montana's...they should be able to serve gluten free customers as well. I know that Swiss Chalet can do a good job. They offer a pamphlet with info on gluten free options (as well as other allergy issues), plus mentioning it to the server or manager should alert the kitchen staff to watch out for cc. OPM is supposed to be an excellent restaurant for gluten free options too. They are located in South Edmonton Common.

Boston Pizza was mentioned earlier in this thread. I know that some of the locations have offered gluten free pizzas, however one Sherwood Park location has stopped offering this option, but will make a pizza for you on a crust you bring. Worth calling the restaurant to confirm. Do keep in mind that, given the labour shortage, many restaurants are short of staff, so that may up the risk of cc as staff are often frazzled and overworked.

Thank you so much for all of your ideas everyone! I had a GREAT trip and never got sick!! I ate at Chiante's and it was good... very similar to a pasta restarant that serves gluten free in my city (Luiggi's). I also ate at Milestones and it was AMAZING!! I planned to order the salmon on rice that I had in Vancouver at Milestones, but was informed that the brine it is premarinated in has wheat flour and it comes this way. So I was very happy that the staff knew this. Instead I had a chicken dish which had fried mushrooms on it and was served on jasmine rice which is one of my new favourite things! I can't tell you how good it was... it had so much flavour and I am not used to that, especially when eating out. I always get things plain to be safe.

Also, I went to the farmers market on Saturday b/c my friend noticed a whole booth set up with gluten free baking and foods and I got some of the best things! I got a gluten free chicken pot pie and it was very very good... and stuffing! and a really good loaf of bread! There were so many things I wanted to try but couldn't bring it all back. I wish I lived there for the farmers market! So if you live in Edmonton and have not been to the farmers market, you should go!

Courtney :)

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
