Brit's Fish And Chips, Edmonton

My husband took me to Edmonton for our monthly blissful culinary shopping spree and bingefest. After reading reviews and information on Brit's Fish and Chips, I became interested. Fish and chips is something I thought I may never eat again. Sure, it is something that can be made at home but deep frying is something I rarely do.

Anyway, the menu is exactly like those all over the UK where we've had the best fish and chips on the planet. I could even have had a deep-fried Mars bar or pickles. Nearly anything on the menu can be made gluten free because they have a gluten-free batter and dedicated fryer. The staff is well versed and one has celiac herself. So, we ordered a large platter of haddock, cod, onion rings and fries and curry sauce (and coleslaw). It was all gluten free to prevent any chance of cross contamination. It was amazing! The batter was tempura like and very light and crispy. The service was excellent. I was so happy there were tears in my eyes. The tartar sauce was gluten free as well. Usually is, but sometimes it is not. The batter is lighter in colour, of course, which differentiates it from the gluten version. My husband was very impressed as well and was very happy with the gluten-free version. He was also so happy to see me so happy. Lovely man, he is. :)

If you are ever in Edmonton (I know a couple of you live there) try it out if you ever have a craving for something deep fried and delicious.

In fact, when I think of that day I do not reflect back to the fantastic dinner we had but to the fish and chips lunch because it was that exciting to me.

How nice of you to check it out! It is a pretty city, actually, with a lot of trees. It is a joy to visit for many reasons but it is far prettier than my town. Oh, well. You can't have it all! You wouldn't like the climate but this year's winter was the warmest on record I believe (at least it was where I live). The snow is melting quickly!

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams No one said anything about eating gluten consistently until testing, the appointment was scheduled and an address was given. I don't even have access to the results as it stands. I was just told "everything looks fine, but slight irritation." I don't know if they took a biopsy because I have no access to the results. I don't know how many samples they took (I recently learned they're supposed to take more than one), I don't know what things looked like internally, it was just word of mouth and I didn't know any better to pry and get copies of everything. And I know! I also have chronic Anemia, never truly resolved UNTIL I went gluten free, and low vitamin D (fairly normal in black community), and low creatine (also resolved with gluten free diet). I plan to request a new dermatologist! As well as a referral to Gastro. Food/symptom diary is a great idea though. I have no way of cooking as it stands, so even just the basics wouldn't work for me.

      @NoriTori, "gluten intolerance" is a general term that can refer to either celiac disease or NCGS. NCGS is often referred to as "gluten sensitivity" for short. Though, admittedly, there is still a great deal of inconsistency in the use of terms by the general public.

      @trents A gluten intolerance is a real possibility! I never ruled it out, but am keen on finding out the EXACT cause. I'd want testing done again to be sure it's not celiac, or SIBO (which I've considered) or other digestive disorder. Celiac seems the most pertinent considering its implications.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.
