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.

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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
