The Chateau Fairmont Lake Louise - Amazing!


Katie B

Recommended Posts

Katie B Apprentice

Hi all, I recently stayed at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and had the most amazing experience! Beyond Celiac Disease I have many other dietary issues and I was worried about traveling for the first time after being diagnosed.

Our vacation was fantastic! From every point of contact - from the food/beverage manager to the restaurant manager, waiters and chefs I was reassured that they understood the impact that a proper diet would have on my vacation. Prior to arriving, I emailed the food/beverage manager and when I arrived he gave me a customized menu that the chef had prepared! We had a great meal and the great thing was that I could enjoy skiing the next day!

Highly recommend the Fairmont (in any location) and their new Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menus covers more than just gluten-free dishes - it's great that some companies are finally waking up and realizing how important diet is to their customers!

Oh! so nice to hear!! we stayed there when I was 9 years old, and I've dreamt of going back ever since. It's a magical place, and I'm glad to hear they cater to special dietary needs.

Having been the general manager of a local high volume restaurant, I know how important making these changes are--I helped modify the menu and educate the staff once I was diagnosed, and it was great talking to the guests and assuring them that we were taking all the precautions necessary so they could enjoy their meals.

      Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine  and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value.   Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      You are correct.  Same place.  I have used their site for so long and have it bookmarked.  Still living in past.  Our support group was affiliated with them.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®?  Their website is not gig.net.  Maybe it was at one point?  I am new to all of this, but did find their website here:  https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten.  Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8.  Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification.  Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.
