    I suppose I am the thorn here. Carrie...The restaurant is probably fine. My problem occured in their first 2 days of operation. There were several mistakes on my simple breakfast order...I got a bonus of sausages that I did not order, they had problems with the type of rice bread and if I didn't tell them that I had a wheat problem I would have certainly...

    I have a clone in Calgary...some think I look like a paramedic from Stars Air Ambulance. No, I have not been back to Splitt since that incident. I went there on the second day they were open. Their staff were not very experienced at all then and perhaps they made a mistake or perhaps it was just a coincidence that I had a problem. I don't know. Either...

    It is "kinnickinnick brown rice bread" sandwich loaf. My 1/2 toasting could well be the equivalent of nuking it in a Microwave. I found it to be very warm but soft at the endof the toasting. I think storing it in a sealed plastic container is good since no further moisture is lost. The bread really doesn't toast so much as it dries out...so I don't mind cutting...

    I may be preaching to the converted but I had to post this idea I LOVE BREAD...I think I told you that before. Well recently I was introduced to kinnickinnick brown rice bread. Now I am not really fond of "raw" non-wheat breads and this is a bit better but not perfect. What I did do though was toast the bread first before making the sandwich....but...

    No....the kinnickinnick bread was not the problem. Actually the only +ve experience from this was being introduced to this bread. It must be the pea flour that gives it the nice texture. As far as the sausage goes I questioned them on this and they say the manufacturer says it is ok. I was a bit disappointed in the manager "Jeff" who I was told was going...

    Well I have determined that it is not the bread....Lakeview Bakery is off the hook. The bread in fact was Kinnikinnic brown rice bread...not bad I bought a loaf. So I went back to the restaurant and talked to the food manager. He showed a suitable amount of concern...but I am not sure it goes much further. Perhaps my stomach upset was not...

    Hi Rusla Then it was THAT BREAD...I knew it was too good to be true. The texture was too perfect. It is probably a mixture of Spelt and Rice. The brown bread was "chocolate brown"...far browner that I have seen brown rice bread before. I'm going to Lakeview to check what is in that bread tomorrow. Apparently they never advertised this bread as gluten...

    Well I was right.....it is in that shopping mall on Elbow Drive and 75th Ave SW in the SW cornor...newly renovated. I went and had lunch there and here are some of my comments: 1. from their menu "All of our menu items with the exception of beverages are considered to be gluten and lactose free. Bread products are available gluten free upon request...

    here is a newspaper article on the restaurant Open Original Shared Link Actually I think it is within 15 min walking distance for me. There was a pub that was under renovation until a few days ago....if I am correct it is on the southwest cornor of a small shopping mall at 75th ave SW and Elbow drive. Hmmmmm....I am getting hungry....it is noon....

    I don't know the address...but it occured to me that it might be a nice place to get to meet eachother.

    I was watching Canada AM and apparently a gluten/lactose free restaurant, Splitt Restaurant, has opened in Calgary. They have been open for 3 days now and already they are taking reservations because they are so busy. They decided to not advertise themselves as being gluten/lactose free for marketing reasons. The two owners were on the program...each has...

    hmmmmm....I have been wheat-free for 2 months now and have had an annoying 10lb weight gain since then. I attribute the weight gain to the gluten-free breads I have tried. A small loaf of this stuff weighs about 900gms (2 lbs)...an equivalent sized wheat flour loaf would have weighed less than 450gms(1 lb). I have two slices/day either with eggs...

    I had Whooping cough when I was about 5 years old. I barely can remember having it but I do know at that time I received no medication but was quarinteened for a couple of weeks until the problem cleared itself up.

    I have been looking for a good rice/beans recipe for a long time. Most that I have tried combined the rice and beans, alright but they were tasteless. This dish is soooooooo tasty you will want to make it again, again and again!!! Here is the basic recipe (I modified it ....later on that) ************************************************************...

    I wish I had thought of this earlier. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE IDEAL SOLUTION Have the whole class make their project using corn flour!!!! here is a recipe for the glue using corn flour.

    Try going to sleep with a pillow between your knees. Works for me.

    Thanks for the compliment but even in that picture you can see evidence of rosacea. I live in Alberta, Canada. That picture was taken in late fall. I am not a person who is a sun worshipper. You will note that I appear to be well tanned in this picture. Well that is in fact due to rosacea. Luckily it looks a bit like a tan but the redness is permanent and...

    Well, I am a long term sufferer of rosecea. In my case it is genetic. My father who died at 78 had pimples to the end of his days. He never squeezed his pimples which personally I thought was a mistake. As a result there was one year in his forties where his nose grew to twice its size and he had it surgically pared back. All of the children of our family...

    I hear you about liking crusty chewy bread. {sigh} those days seem to be gone. I liked the kind of old world rye bread that you almost had to soak it in water a bit to be able to chew it...I also liked that Italian bread shaped like an oversized discus...you needed a saw to cut throught the crust but the inside was soooo good. I think I should stop...

    If you like the taste of coconut milk AND you like stir fries of chicken...you might consider using it in your cooking. Thai dishes often use coconut milk. I find this gives the dish a nice velvety texture. Open Original Shared Link Here is a website with many many recipes. You will note that very few if any have any gluten ingredients (maybe soy sauce...

    As I have said before I have been on a quest to find a suitable bread to eat. Rice breads are inedible in their "raw" state and literally melted in my toaster. I have tried and liked a Tapioca flour/flaxseed meal/potato flour bread by Glutino...it actually toasts well and when toasted to has a nice texture/taste. The disadvantage though is that you have to...

    Holly, you don't have to be Celiac to benefit from a wheat-free diet. I am not celiac...I can eat a piece of bread and not become instantly sick as many on this site. I don't HAVE to beware of cross contamination as others do on this site. BUT I seem to have a weird body chemistry and suffer from High Blood Pressure, Type II diabetes and blood fats...

    Wow....5 years old and a type I diabetic...that poor little girl will have to grow up pretty quickly (mentally that is). I am not Celiac....but I do have a problem with wheat and wheat-based products. I am also Type II diabetic and have been so for about 10 years now. I have also an extreme problem with blood fats...I have been as much as 10x high risk...

    Well since we are continuing on the subject of computer safety here is another excellent program that is free Open Original Shared Link This is called CrapCleaner. This is an amazing program that really cleans out garbage from your computer system. Somehow it knows the good stuff from the bad and deletes it. I also run Spybot and Adware to kill spyware...

    I don't know about you....but I am paranoid about giving credit card information over the Internet. Personally...if there is a 1-800 number to place the order, I will use it rather than type my credit card number in a box on a computer form. This is the best way to avoid "Key Loggers" from grabbing my keystrokes as I enter the number. However I have...
