Going to Las Vegas and staying at THE Hotel I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for gluten free options at any restaurants?

thanks!

Hi.

I copied my post for you from last month when someone was asking.......

Ooh, I'm completely jealous. I LOVE Vegas! Have a blast!

Previous post.....

Hi.

I went to Vegas over the holidays. So fun! My husband and friends surprised me for my 40th birthday! It was my first trip after diagnosis last August. I went with a bunch of power bars in my suitcase figuring GFCFSF would be ridiculous to accommodate. I did o.k. -- got sick once, but I think it was soy.

We stayed at the Encore/Wynn and mosty ate there. A bit pricey, but worth it to feel good--couldn't miss out on blackjack!

This is where I ate great food:

Tableau at the Wynn. Absolutely amazing entree and very knowledgeabe. Dressy.

Terrace Pointe Cafe at the Wynn. Good food. Also very knowledgable. Casual. At lunch there 3 times!

Maggiano's across from the Wynn. Good gluten-free pasta. Waiter didn't have a clue, but the chef did, and everyone was very nice. Casual.

The Buffet at the Wynn. We got a free meal so we went for breakfast. I stuck to a fresh omelet from the omelet station and it was great!

This is where I didn't eat great food:

Bartolotta at the Wynn. They were super nice, but the veggie dish they prepared for me was just awful. My husband and friends all agreed. So, I sent it back. Not something I ever do. Previously, before going gluten-free, I had a wonderful meal there. Too bad.

Wazuzu at Encore. I got terribly sick a few hours later. It resembled a soy reaction for me even though we specified NO soy. Also, my server was in the dark.

I hope you have a wonderful trip! I LOVE Vegas. I was worried about being a pain in the A. But, you know what? I got used to it! Ha! I was just very polite and extra thankful. I would definitely feel comfortable going back.

Cheers!

I always go to PF Changs @ Planet Hollywood on the strip. They have a gluten-free menu and it's nice not to have to explain everything to a clueless waiter / waitress.

Good Luck!

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
