    Do oats bother you? I've read so many contradicting things about oats. I've heard that oats are on the bad list because of possible contamination not because they actually contain gluten. Apparently quite a few celiacs can tolerate oats. But I've also read that amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat may be cross contaminated as well. I've been eating quinoa on a...

    I'm 20 and I've been having the same kind of problem as you. I can sleep for 12-14 hours and still be exhausted a couple of hours after getting up. I have no energy to do anything and no appetite so I have to force myself to eat full meals. I've had this off and on for about a year and I think it may be due to hidden gluten in my diet. I've been rotating...

    My father came to Canada from Italy and my mom was born in the U.S. but we do have Russian/Polish blood in our family history. I have brown hair and brown eyes. There is a history of family members going grey really early though. My mom has been dying her hair since before I can remember, my brother (age 24) is going grey and only a few weeks ago I found...

    Yep. That's the Moxies in Calgary. The best location is the one downtown. It's right along 7th Ave at the 7th street C-train station. I tried the Moxies in the NW in Market Mall as well but the server was kind of ditzy. I spoke to the manager and he was more helpful. But I was REALLY impressed with everyone's knowledge of my allergies at the downtown location...

    I used to get terrible aches in my muscles and joints. It would come and go randomly. I never did figure out what triggered it. However, I picked up jogging last year and the aches became a lot less frequent. Even just a brisk walk a few times a week helped lessen the aches. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Celiac but it started not long after I...

    Wow! Moxie's has become a great place for gluten-free meals. I went to the Moxies on 7th Ave by the C-train. The manager came out and talked to me when I told the server about my allergies. He actually brought out a separate menu that they had prepared for celiacs. Everything on it was completely gluten free and it didn't cost anything extra. It was great...

    I haven't tried the Mongolie Grill yet. Thanks for the suggestion! I went for dinner at Vintage last night though. It's a little pricey but the food is amazing and the server was very knowledgeable. She double-checked everything with the chef and made everything really easy for me.

    There aren't too many places for Celiacs to eat in Calgary so far. Crowfoot Chianti is a great one. They are very knowledgeable. If you're looking for something fancy, The Belvedere will accommodate any diet. Everything is made from scratch so the chef actually knows the ingredients of his food! I found that places like Kelsey's, Moxies, etc are kind...

    I'm excited for this new restaurant in Calgary! I just heard about it today. It's called Splitt and it's in the SW somewhere but I'm not sure exactly where yet. As for gluten-free stores, the larger Safeway stores (Crowfoot) are good for Glutino products. There is also a farmer's market in Garrison Woods in the SW. There is a lady there who makes some...
