    ARCHIVED Good Docs In Calgary?

    2Boys4Me replied to nvsmom's topic in Doctors

    Dr. Brent Scott and Dr. J. Decker Butzner are both great doctors at Alberta Children's Hospital. I suspect you need a referral though.

    I found some Honey Nut Chex at Walmart yesterday. $4.97 for a 390g box. There were only a few boxes, so I grabbed two of them.

    Which store? I haven't seem them in Calgary yet.

    The only gluten-free hot dog I've found in Canada that's readily available at all grocery stores is Top Dog Angus Beef. Please check ingredients though, as the other Maple Leaf brands all contain wheat. I discovered the Top Dog Angus Beef last summer and haven't looked at the ingredients yet this year.

    I'm sure he's not picky, he's just "selective".

    Today's Parent has a cool lunchbox tool. It has a ton of ideas for lunches/cold snacks. Open Original Shared Link It is not even remotely allergy friendly, but I suspect everything can be modified for your daughter's allergies.

    Ingredients look okay according to the Nestle website. Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks for the info. He's not required to take the class; it's separate from Health. They have a number of options that they can choose beyond the required curriculum. For example, he could take drama, art, dance, visual communication (?), wood shop, foods/fashion (home ec in the olden days), band, or guitar. He'll just put down foods last on the...

    My son who has celiac is going to be attending junior high in the fall. When we went to the open house for the schools (we went to a late French immersion school and his designated school) we asked about Foods class. Both schools suggested that he put Foods last on his list of option/elective requests. Almost everything requires the use of all-purpose flour...

    I want to remind newly diagnosed Canadians to check labels carefully. At my local grocery the only gluten-free hot dogs I've been able to find are Maple Leaf Top Dog Angus Beef - and I haven't bought those since last summer, so please check the label.

    My son usually says he has celiac. Once, though, an adult he didn't know very well asked him (snidely) if he was too good to eat the pizza being served at the party. My son had been eating a bunless hamburger and a baked potato. His response, and in a somewhat rude tone of voice, was "I have a disease". I admit I was proud of him, even though he used a snotty...

    Any possibility of turning it into a rice table, rather than oatmeal?

    I'm not sure where you're from, but in Canada, Cadbury makes Cadbury Mini Eggs, and Hershey doesn't. Hershey is a completely different company (Oh Henry, Reese's, etc.). Did you call Hershey or Cadbury about the eggs? What were the ingredients?

    In 2006, you posted a recipe for homemade worcestershire sauce. Flash forward to today...I am looking for a gluten free worcestershire sauce. This recipe is perfect! Thank you!!

    Grits are white and coarsely ground, cornmeal is yellow and a bit finer, but not as fine as corn flour. You should be able to find Unico corn flour and Purity corn meal at any Safeway or Superstore. I can't speak to Save On, we don't have any in Calgary. You *may* be able to find grits at a Mexican store, or possibly on the menu at Denny's. They aren...

    Oh, I'm not sure. One of the pediatric gastro docs here in Calgary is on the board of the National Celiac Association. Have you asked around at the Edmonton association, or googled the doctor?
  17. 2Boys4Me
    No, but we've seen a couple in Calgary and they are terrific. What are your concerns?

    Thanks for the info Peter and Lisa. My 11 year old son has been on the diet since was 5 and he's been trained to know that barley is not allowed, so I know if I brought this home he would refuse to eat it. I'm not about to try to get him to figure out that some labels that say barley are okay and some aren't - that's for when he's a grown up and starts...

    I got to sample it and it was pretty good, but I felt like it needed just a bit more liquid. A tablespoon or two of applesauce maybe. I also managed to score a free cookbook, too.

    The TV show I work on had a gluten-free cookbook author on today. The host is gluten intolerant and the guest has celiac. Here's a link to the Open Original Shared Link and to the Open Original Shared Link.

    Yes, they are gluten free. My son loves them.

    I'm in Canada, so things may be different where you are. After my son was diagnosed by both blood test and biopsy, it was recommended that his first degree relatives get tested. The pediatric GI requisitioned the blood tests (they cost us nothing). My husband, other son and I got tested, and my parents were both tested - they had to ask their own doctors...

    Karen, not sure if this will help. I scalped it off another celiac forum. Open Original Shared Link

    May I chime in? We don't have Udi's bread here, and I usually make a brown bread (the recipe can be found at this website Open Original Shared Link ) but it calls for warm milk, not water. How would milk make a difference compared to using water? My son has been on the diet for 4.5 years and I usually stick to a recipe once I've had success, so I've been...
