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.

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
