Wow. Crazy to see a little small community of Celiac afflicted people on the Calgary Puck network.
My girlfriend was self-diagnosed last year (January to be exact) with Celiac Disease. It's been one hell of a ride, filled with numerous trials and tribulations. I ahve grown to dispise Modified Corn Starch (which seems to be the thing that triggers all of this allergy)
We've found a slew of restaurants in town that have Celiac friendly menus. Here's some of the Gems. (Many have been mentioned already, but some have not)
- A Tasty Menu
- Chianti's (offers Gluten Free Pasta)
- The Coup
- Chili's (has a glutenfree menu)
- The Marda Loop Nellie's Caters to Celiacs
- Nectar in Inglewood
- Cheese Cake Cafe (has a dessert)
- Joey tomatos has a Gf menu
To top it off we recently launched a blog.
www.glutastic.com. My girlfriend writes it and it details her struggles with living with Celiac's disease in Calgary. She updates it every couple of days, with product reviews (BUY JUDY G's PIZZA), restaurant reviews and facts for people dealing with it and live with people with Celiac Disease.
We've been able to meet some cool people through it, including Judy G (maker of Judy G's Pizza).
Btw I'll give all you guys a tip who live with a celiac. There is a little bakery in cochrane called GF Passterrie in Cochrane (there's a link on glutastic) and it sells GF cupcakes with Bernard Callibeu icing choclate.
If you ever want to get in the good books, make the trip out there and purchase a half dozen.
You can thank me later.
