We will be in Denver today and I don't know what to eat. I'm newly diagnosed and have been eating at home. My aunt and uncle have celiac and said that five guys is safe because they don't put anything into their fryers except for fries and my uncle has never had a problem with a burger without a bun.

what do you guys think? We love Chick-fil-A but I bet their kitchen is a cross contamination nightmare.

I love chick Fila. They are trained from management down.  Tell  them it's severe and they'll change their gloves and cook separately.  fries.  grilled chicken.  salad.  Ice,cream.  check their website for gluten-free options.  also I know that some gluten-free bloggers where in Denver recently.  lots of options.  might check celiac & the beast website.  I think she blogged about Denver .  also Jules gluten-free might of.

Five Guys can be good - Best to go when not busy and sort of "supervise".  I always order mine separate from my gluten eaters - to avoid confusion and keep them from all touching.

 

Denver is a big area - try "findme gluten free. com" and the area you will be in.  There are some mostly or completely gluten-free places. 

I loved the steak salad at the MOd Market in Longmont - I know there are other locations Open Original Shared Link

I keep adding to my post.  I  know there is at least 1 gluten-free bakery that may also sell lunches.  Google gluten free bakery Denver

Where did you end up? Did you like it?

I probably should have posted that sometimes I bring along a little Go Picnic box or a bar or bag of nuts or something.  Sometimes its just easier.  And if you get  somewhere which has always been good - but feel something isn't right, you aren't stuck with nothing or hunting down a grocery for an apple and a yogurt (also another good choice sometimes).

Karen has great advice.   I always have non-perishable food in my purse.  Often I carry a small cooler and throw in veggies, nuts, yogurt, meat, or fruit to keep in my car while running errands or meeting up with friends.  I have nicer tote coolers that looks more presentable (nothing sends out geeky signals when carrying an Igloo cooler).  Still use the heavy-duty coolers as I live in in sunny California and I do not want food spoilage and i can transfer food to a prettier version.  

I used my pretty coolers to conceal my favorite soymilk when I went to Starbucks (preferred my brand over theirs) when hanging with the girls.    Now i can consume milk products, so no need to do that.  

When we vacation, we mostly eat at grocery stores.  It is a fall-back option for us.  Our coolers travel even internationally with us!  And my favorite restaurant where i feel the safest?  Our recreational vehicle.  If we can not find a restaurant, we can always pull over and eat a hot meal.  Heaven!

I don't know if you are already gone, but my most common restaurants are...

 

For breakfast: Maddie's Restaurant on South Downing Open Original Shared Link, The Urban Egg Just off of Broadway (south of 470) Open Original Shared Link (gluten free but not guarentee of Celiac frendly- still very helpful)

For other meals:  Lucha Cantina on West Bowles Lucha Cantina.com, Tokyo Joe's, The Blue Bonnet on Broadway Open Original Shared Link

Zest Cafe on Wadsworth is also a good change of pace. Open Original Shared Link

Some Chipotle restaurants are pretty good about dealing with Celiac, but the one on Wadsworth between Hampden and Yale is NOT!

I also eat at HuHot mongolian Grill alot, there are noodles near the meat on the line, so sometimes I have to ask one of the employees to get meat from the back because there is a noodle in the fish... If you tell them that you have Celiac they are happy to scrub the grill and set up boundries to protect your food. www.huhot.com

 

I hope that this helps

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make.

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      Test interpretations

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
