Las Vegas

I'm going to Las Vegas soon and usually when we go somewhere we always book a place that has a kitchenette. HOWEVER, my other half is in the military and the military is putting us up and it does not have a kitchenette. We're trying to confirm if it even has a fridge and/or a microwave.

So...I was wondering if anyone is from the area or has vacationed in Vegas and if anyone has any gluten-free tips or knows of places to eat that are gluten-free, etc. I'm going to call the hotel and see what I can find out including if their restaurants can do anything for me, etc. If not, I guess I'll eat gluten-free ceral bars and drink a bunch of bacardi rum drinks the entire time i'm there. HAHA!!!

Thanks for any input!

I can't think of anything besides PF Changs right now. I do know there was a topic posted about gluten-free places in Las Vegas. Good Luck!!

I was there last year and had dinner at Gallagher's in New York, New York. I told them I was a Celiac and they managed a lovely meal for me.

There are plenty of postings about Las Vegas eating. Broncobux lives there and you might try to PM him for specific spots. There is an Outback, PF Changs, Carnagie Deli (in the Mirage) and take your own bread as they serve a GIANT pastrami that is more then enough for two. Just ask to have the pastrami on a separate plate. I believe there is a Buffalo Wild Wings there and you can have the chili and several of the wing sauces. But Broncobux knows many more. Have fun.

I live in Vegas - but have only been here for about 9 months. I'm not too familiar with the restaurants on the main part of "The Strip" (las vegas blvd)....but I know a few restaurants that are talked about in the restaurant section of this website that are also in Vegas. Outback Steakhouse is a good option for you - as they have their own gluten-free menu. Do you know what hotel you are staying in? There are 9 ( or 8? I don't remember) Outbacks in Vegas. If your hotel is around the Strip area - there are two Outbacks on that road. One in the middle of it all - and one on the South end (the one I work at)....in front of the Outlet Mall. PF Changs, Carrabbas, Bonefish Grill, Roys and Flemings all have gluten free menus. (You can look up their websites and they should have their locations and menus on them.) Chipotle (a cheaper place to eat so you don't break your checkbook the days you're here) is in Vegas (there's one right next to the Outback on the South Strip)....and they have gluten-free options. It would be a good idea to call the hotel you're staying at and ask them about their restaurants...and even recommend some other's that are nearby. If all else fails - find a wendy's and order a salad and baked potato! :)

While in Vegas I ate at PF Changs, (there's an outback too) and Olives at the Bellagio, which did a great job for me. If you go--make sure you get a seat out of the balcony. Very fun. I had lunch at one of the restaurants at the Wynn (can't remember which) and they did a good job too. I would say most of the restaurants at the nicer casinos would be glad to help you. They were great at the Bellagio where we stayed. I had a fridge and took care of breakfast on my own each morning. There is also an Outback on the strip. You could also e-mail the LV Celiac group for more info: lvceliacsupport-owner@yahoogroups.com Have fun!!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
