I'm going to Las Vegas this weekend with my husband. I'm nervous because I've not eaten out much at all since going gluten-free. Does anyone know any good restaurants out there?

Thanks.

I stay at the Mirage and generally never leave the hotel. There is a great new restaurant in the Mirage called STACK. I stopped and saw the General Manager and the Manager and explained my diet. Because I also have a dairy allergy, they went out and bought a gluten free margarine that they could cook my dinner in. They also make a fantastic tomato soup, but they need to know before hand that yours is gluten-free as they pre-make it up. The restaurant is expensive. If you want to go there to eat you can contact me at armettaz@msn.com and I will give you the name and email address so that you can email the person you should for Stack. You would still have to make reservations (I think). The Carnegie Deli is also in the Mirage and you can order Corned Beef or Pastrami. But you have to bring your own bread. We ordered one Pastrami sandwich for my husband and requested that the bread be put on a separate plate. I brought my bread that I had put my own mustard on as I was not sure if theirs was gluten free. Where ever you are staying in LV, you can request a small refrig. be put in your room because of dietary issues. It should be free. If you are staying at Bilaggio, they have a restaurant called FIX that is owned by the same company that owns STACK. The Chef there is the one who helped open STACK and he came out to our table to discuss the foods. What a great expierience. I hope we can go back in April or May. Broncobucs (sp) lives in Las Vegas and he knows lots of places. There is also a PF Changs and an Outback there, but I don't know the exact location. Have Fun.

Carla - I was diagnosed 2 1/2 weeks ago, have been gluten-free for only that long.....felt GREAT five days into it until today - obviously I ate something yesterday... :blink: Still researching what it was. But, I have to go to LV in May for my niece's graduation, and I don't know WHAT to do or where to eat, and since I'm so sick today, I am really concerned! Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Don't know prices of Mirage and if I can afford to stay there - it sounds wonderful! we will see....

Carla,

ditto what Armela said...

1. Fix in the Bellagio is a good place (steak, lobster mashed potatoes, etc)

2. Samba in the Mirage -- Brazilian BBQ place - the chef knows about Celiac and one of the waitresses' mom has celiac disease.

3. Buffets are very dangerous -- cross contamination is rapant there -- but breakfast is do-able at those places -- just get fresh fruit and made to order omelettes. (I like the Bellagio's buffet the best for brunch)

4. PF changs has a gluten free menu and they have a location at the Aladdin (Vegas Blvd and Harmon)

5. There is also an Outback Steakhouse on the strip (3411 S Las Vegas Blvd) - they have a gluten free menu

6. Carnegie Deli in the mirage has great corned beef and pastrami -- Bring your own bread though.

7. There is a Whole Foods in Summerlin (On charleston Blvd) -- west part of Vegas - about 10-15 minutes from the strip.

8. Near that Whole Foods, there is a Carrabbas (gluten free menu) and a Fleming's Steakhouse (gluten free steaks and gluten-free flemings potatoes and a great caprese salad!!)

9. Maggiano's in the fashion show Mall -- they have several gluten free items and serve gluten free pasta

10. Cafe Ba Ba Reeba -- in the Fashion show mall - spanish cuisine -- excellent lobster and scallop paella

11. There is also an In N Out Burger there -- (Burger Protein Style, no sauce and french fries!)

Have fun!!! Hope this helps!

Olives at the Bellagio did a great job making a gluten-free meal for me...

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
