    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I'm in Alberta too and was just recently told to switch over from Epipens to Twinjects because of the reassurance that you have 2 dosages, especially good for travellers. However, they are currently quite a bit more expensive (I don't remember what mine was, insurance paid, but it was about what you paid $140 I believe), anyway it is cheaper than having two...

    The caplets are. I use the Migraine ones all the time.

    I went to Mexico a couple of times during High School and had no trouble taking food in as long as it was packaged. Home made breads/muffins etc. are a no-no, but if it's sealed or vacuum packed or whatever it's all good. Depending on where you enter customs vary too. Some times they check you other times they don't. Proper mexican tortillas are made with...

    the Kinnickkinnick graham crackers taste funny in my opinion, but i guess when mixed with butter and sugar they might be just fine... i found them very cardboady

    What is this Pancake breakfast thing? I haven't heard of it before. I doubt I can have it anyway cause of all my other allergies, but anyway just curious

    I'd love to try it if it's bean- free. Can you share the recipe?

    It is

    I drink both Cuervo Gold Tequila and Strongbow and have never had any problems. Does this mean we can't have either???????

    The Air Canada meal on International flights is a rice and bean caserole thing... and they have a gluten-free muffin type thing and some sort of salad, don't remember what though... my friend is celiac too and she says it's good for airplane food, I can't have it cause of allergies but yes... she's been successful

    Thanks for the replies...

    Canadian Whisky is Rye. And Rye is most commonly made from rye grain and corn, with barley malt added. There have been extensive discussions on this board regarding whether or not distilled alcohols are in fact gluten free. According to the Canadian Celiac Association, distilled alcoholic beverages are allowed because they don't contain prolamins. I personally...

    I know there is someone on this board who lived in Banff and I know there is a post that says where you can get good gluten-free foods in Banff, but I can't find it. I know about Nutters in Canmore and there's the health food store in the mall in Banff, but where else? I know other places were posted. I haven't actually tried shopping at either place since...

    Howdy, Thought I should add two more places that I've been to recently in Edmonton... The Keg on Whyte. The staff was super good about everything and was really kind about be being such a pain. She wrote everything down and double checked everything twice. It was a super busy night, one of the hockey games, and probably not a good night to go but all...

    SLS makes me have blisters on my face... I use Burt Bees stuff. It has totally cleared everything up and my hair is much healthier now too

    I've had really good luck with greek restaurants. Depending on what you like, getting some sort of lamb (make sure there's nothing on it) then a greek salad (usually the dressing is just oil with some herbs) and then their potatoes (lemon and olive oil) are generally safe because they are baked. All the places I've been to have cooked the potatoes seperate...

    When I first went off gluten 4 years ago, my friends were less than supportive. I got forgotten when they went out for dinner or whatever. It was easier for them to just kinda forget about including me than for them to figure out what celiac and gluten-free meant. However, that has all changed. Gradually as they saw how much healthier I was (more energy,...

    they are dairy free too

    So I went to the Save-on-Foods (on 34th, only place I found them after I'd check the sobeys and safeway by me) and got the Ranch. It was soooo not what I thought Ranch would ever taste like. It's funny that for 19years I've been watching people eat it and through their descriptions (I live vicariously through peoples descriptions haha) had concocted an entirely...

    I'm having this problem myself. Since my C-diff infection meat and I don't get along. I can eat a tiny bit every couple days but that's about it. But, my vegetarian options are very limited because I can't do legumes (beans etc) which is used so much! Pretty much my mom has been really inventive with tofu and I started using portabello mushrooms for my "burger...

    Personally I think part of making a good impression is being honest, forthcoming and taking responsibility for yourself. As much as some people are bothered by the hassle of allergies, most decent people feel so badly if they find out after-the-fact that you have been having to do extra without the benefit of their help. I know this is not the case...

    I'm a hot water, lemon juice and honey person. Works like a charm. The warmth soothes and the lemon cleans you out while the honey coats it. I also drink this cold when I feel like a cold is coming on and it usually prevents me from getting sick. Plus the lemon has lots of Vitamin C.

    I second the Sorrentinos. It's quickly become my favorite restaurant! Thanks Rusla... I'm scared to eat out at a Chinese place cause of all my other alleriges and they tend to use nut oils and lots of legumes, both of which are anaphylactic allergies, so big no no's. But if they are aware of celiac then maybe they are worth a shot.

    Where do you get them? I've never seen them, and I have never had ranch dressing in my life (b/c of dairy), I can't do this caesar cause of the fish oil, but i'd love to try ranch!!! Thanks for posting Carrie!

    Yeah it's a very small world... it seems that all the Edmontonians on here are U of A people! Congrats on managing not to succumb to the temptation of NYF and of course on graduating... I'm only finishing up my second year and I had to take it easy this year, just 3 courses each semester so I'm headed for an extra semester at the end I think. I'm doing 2...
