I would love to hear about your experiences at restaurants good or bad. Any recommendations?

These are specific to Edmonton, so I'm not sure how helpful this will be.

OPM has a separate gluten-free menu. It is available on-line.

Sicilian Pasta Kitchen (southside location) has rice noodles as a substitute and their tomato sauces are safe. Their cream sauces are not gluten-free.

I was talking to someone yesterday who eats Wendy's baked potatoes, but I've never eaten there since being gluten-free.

I had a plain salad at Olive Garden once.

Culina has a gluten-free menu.

Swiss Chalet lists their gluten-free items on-line. I've eaten their a couple of times and didn't get sick even with the waitress looking at me like I had two heads when I said wheat allergy. Just ask for no bun.

I have my doubts, but does anyone know if there's anywhere I can eat in Peace River? It has to be super safe because I'll be in the field every day for a week, i.e. no toilets just bush and male co-worker whom I've just met.

Oh no... I haven't been to Peace River myself so I'm not sure. I sure there are grocery stores you could pick things up at.

I live in Edmonton and I eat at Wendy's almost everyday for lunch since it's just down the street from where I work. I eat chili, fries, baked potatoes, and salads (sesame dressing has soy sauce therefore wheat so stay away). Supposedly the burgers (without bun) are ok too but I'm too shy to ask for it without the bun so haven't tried yet.

Outback Steakhouse is another place I've gone and they are really good there. They have a separate menu that tells what is gluten-free and what isn't.

Sorentino's is supposed to have a wide variety of gluten-free pasta's. I think the owner/manager has celiac or something. I've been meaning to check it out but so far I haven't.

If anyone else can let me know of restaurants in Edmonton with gluten-free options I would really like to know. As I said earlier I'm really shy and don't like to tell the servers about my special dietary needs, especially here because the service industry leaves much to be desired and they probably wouldn't do as I instructed anyway. But if I know the place has knowledge of celiac I would definitely ask.

The fries are not on Wendy's Canadian gluten-free list.

Bacon is an independently owned restaurant that offers a lot of gluten free food.

Swiss Chalet is good. They have a pamphlet that outlines safe choices. Their roasted chicken and sauce is safe.

OPM has a gluten free menu and is very good. It's in South Edmonton Common.

You can also ask for gluten free choices at any Montana's.

Check out "A Tasty Menu" restaurant in Calgary. I'm hooked on the place now (you can see my posting on it from about a month ago). 100% gluten free menu, and the food is good.

The south side Sicilian Pasta Kitchen has gluten-free pasta for an additional price of course. Only their tomato sauces are gluten-free. Their white/cream sauces are not gluten-free. Many of their appetizers are also gluten-free. They also have very knowledgeable servers. I've talked to the manager and they have separate pans/pots/utensils for the gluten-free orders.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
