Not So Gluten Free

“Mommy I don’t Like The Goat Anymore”

My daughter has an immediate reaction to gluten, if she eats say about a tea spoon of flour,  she gets very bad stomach ache within minutes.

So when we went out to dinner at The Iron Goat in Canmore she was thrilled to get their (marked as) gluten free pizza, we had been there before and last time was a bit iffy she had stomach discomfort but we where not sure.

If you didn't make it yourself how do you know it's gluten free

So she cheerfully tucks into the “gluten free” pizza then she stops eating, face of discomfort as she clutches her belly and declares “I don’t like the Goat anymore”.   It’d only been about 10 to 15 minutes she was complaining of  tummy ache.

They where very apologetic and I was assured they had a separate kitchen for gluten free stuff ( for three things on the menu I don’t think so,  but I could be wrong) she took 10% off the bill but it does not take the pain away.

It takes roughly 6 months for the digestive system to recover from a gluten attack, so the Dr told me.  It also takes days for the stomach ache to completely disappear.

So for the sake of a careless occurrence in the kitchen my daughter suffers for months.

May be the person rolling the dough used reg floor to flatten it, or did not wash their hands between the regular pizzas.  It could have been a tiny mistake,  I erg all people handling gluten free stuff for customers,

Please Please be very careful, we appreciate  your kind consideration.

Food can not be almost gluten free it has to be  completely.

What places to eat are there that provide truly 100% gluten free alternatives?
