The Keg

Hi everyone,

I just got back from a long weekend in Montreal with my boyfriend. While there, we ate at The Keg in Old Montreal, and it was FANTASTIC. They have an entirely separate menu for gluten-free, and I was able to eat without any problems at all. I had the caesar salad with grilled chicken and sweet potato fries - yup, all gluten-free and no cc. Absolutely outstanding.

Also as a side note, in DT Montreal we went to a restaurant called Commensal, which is a veggie/vegan/gluten-free/Dairy-free/Soy-free etc option buffet restaurant. I picked all gluten-free options (tasty) but unfortunately still managed to get into something :( However, as I did not have any reaction at all in my stomach, but a very severe reaction in my ears and windpipe, I can only conclude right now that I was allergic to "something" I ate there - but it does seem that their Gluten-free options are safe, so check it out.

We were traveling just after my diagnosis, and ate there while in Montreal. The gluten-free menu did not yet exist in 2000, but they were aware and accommodating.

In the decade since, I have eaten at The Keg at numerous locations. Mostly they have been the two closest to where we live. I have never had a problem there. They are not as prominent in their gluten-free options as Outback are, but are solidly behind them. Sadly, Outback no longer operate in the province of Ontario.

I was born in Montreal but live in Texas. I haven't been in Montreal for 25 years. I wonder if they still have Orange Julius???? Mmmmmm that was really yummy. I think it has dried milk powder though.

I don't recall seeing any Orange Julius, so I can't say, sorry.

Peter - does that mean that The Keg in Toronto also offers gluten-free menus? I haven't been to The Keg in Toronto since going gluten-free, so I wasn't aware.

Too bad about The Outback - the more gluten-free-friendly restaurants, the better! Have you checked out Remezzo's pasta yet?

It is supposed to be chain-wide. Open Original Shared Link

No, I haven't been to Remezzo's yet.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
