Any Good Gluten-free Restaurants In Ottawa?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows of restaurants in the Ottawa (Canada) region that actually cater to people with celiac disease (or other food allergies). I go out to eat often, but I always have to pick out stuff on the menu that I can eat (this can be a challenge as I do not eat gluten OR dairy). I've heard of restaurants that actually have a gluten-free menu or that cook their own gluten-free pasta or pizza, etc...but I've never known any restaurants like this. I know it's a long-shot..but anyone around the Ottawa region that knows?

Thanks!

I just ate at So Good Restaurant on Somerset - TONS of gluten free items. You tell the Owner Peter that you can't eat gluten and he'll hook you up with fantastic service. Will even give you a fortune cookie and tell you not to eat it :)

check it out at Open Original Shared Link

Also, Outback Steakhouse has a gluten free menu where everyting is available G.F. (save a few sauces).

Also check out Mongolian Village (Olgilvie Road or Bells Corners)

Of course, The Table and the Green Door are awesome vegetarian/vegan restaurants with the best quality g.f. food you'll find anywhere.

Govinda's Hari Krishna restaurant on Somerset is likely gluten free (it's vegan).

La Dolce Vita on Preston serves gluten free pizza.

So that gives you a good start.... begin with the Green Door... my FAVE :)

Ha! Thanks for your post. I am a little late replying... it's funny, I don't come on there boards often, and this particular post hadn't been answered for ages..and I just had a feeling that someone replied to my post! Great...thanks for some suggestions. I called La Dolce Vita one weekend, and alas...they were out of gluten-free pizza!! I ended up finding another place, Bella Vista Restaurant (I think it's called?) on Alta Vista that serves delicious gluten-free pizza and fettucine, too. However, I have a love/hate relationship with dairy. I'm 100% positive that it makes me sick and itchy..but i do eat it from time to time. I've never been to Mongolian Village, but am closer to Ogilvie Rd. so maybe will check that out. I used to go to Oh So Good waaay before i started eating gluten free and haven't been back there in years, so maybe i will have to try it out again... wondering if they can do any "dairy-free" versions of anything?? I do go to Green Door from time to time, seeing as my bf is veggie...very tasty, yes!

Thanks again

      Yes, there are different kinds of anemia. Ferritin is an iron storage protein so you can have plenty of iron floating around in your blood but not enough in storage in some cases. Also, the shape and size of red blood cells figures into all of this somehow. If they are the wrong shape and size they don't function properly for binding with oxygen like they should I believe, even though there may be plenty of iron in them.

      Hi Trents Good to hear from you and thanks for your prompt response.  As far as I know I don't have any other autoimmune diseases but this elevated MCHC which has been in the background for some years now makes me wonder if I have something that has hitherto gone under the radar.    I do wonder about B12 anemia.  When I was diagnosed with coeliac disease I was told by my nutritionist that had she been my GP she would have given me some B12 injections, she felt my levels were  far too low at diagnosis to just 'supplement'.  Since then, unless I supplement, my B12 seems to bump along the low normal readings. I wonder if my gastroenterologist may have ordered the newfangled B12 test for me, he may be thinking that perhaps the old blood test wasn't showing an accurate picture? Iron anemia could be a thing, except strangely I have normal hemoglobin.  Anyway, I guess if he feels my ferritin shouldn't have gone down 14 points in 18 months I might need an endoscopy and colonoscopy again. I think my coeliac disease is quite well controlled but these past few months I've probably been overdoing the gluten free oats which have made me uncomfortable and given me similar symptoms to mild glutening (which of course makes me wonder about the contamination of oats, as per that post a few weeks ago).  My TTG results will be telling. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, I suspect anemia of some sort or another could be to blame. Cristiana

      Causes of High MCHC: A high MCHC can also be due to anemia, depending on the type of anemia you have. Hemolytic anemia may lead to an MCHC measurement above the normal range.1 Hemolytic anemia develops when red blood cells break down faster than they can be replaced.8 This type of anemia can happen for several reasons, including: Autoimmune conditions Blood transfusion complications Infections Sickle cell disease Higher-than-normal MCHC results may also be attributable to hereditary spherocytosis, a rare genetic condition in which the body makes abnormally shaped red blood cells. https://www.health.com/mchc-blood-test-7092747   Cristiana, note the first listed cause, "Autoimmune conditions". Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition. Do you have any other autoimmune conditions, which as you know, they tend to cluster? Anemia is also stated as another possible cause, which you seem to also have a mild case of with a Ferritin level in the below normal range.

      Hi , Thank you so much. She does have a GP appointment on Tuesday to ask about bloods and I did say to her to mention B12, so I’ll remind her

      @RejoicephdRejoicephd, Glad you're continuing the vitamin supplementation.  High dose Thiamine has been shown to improve fibromyalgia symptoms.  Vitamin D also helps.
