I just bought a case of Lakefront Brewery's New Grist Gluten Free Beer.

It is in my fridge at home waiting to be opened.

I think I sobbed at the grocery store here in town (Whole Foods)

Hooray Beer!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately,

the Whole Foods are on the West side of Vegas and the Southeast side. (The Strip is sorta in the middle as is the airport).

However, being an accomodating member of glutenfreeforum.com, I could always bring you a "sixer" if necessary. Just get a hold of me, elonwy...

Let me know!

Also,

Here are some restaurants you should try while you are here (gluten friendly)

1. Samba in the Mirage -- it is a Brazilian BBQ (serve the food on spears) -- anyway the chef understands celiac and cross contamination issues. One of the servers has a mom that is Celiac.

2. Carnegie Deli in the Mirage -- Bring your own gluten-free bread and split a Corned Beef Sandwich with someone (no bread) Huge sandwich!

3. Sushi Buffet in the Aladdin -- all you can eat for like $20

4. Craftsteak in MGM --- really nice hanger steak with a red wine bordelaize and yummy mashed potatoes -- good arugula salad too

5. Aquaknox in MGM -- I had the Seafood Cioppino there and it was good. The chef is familiar with Celiac.

6. Bouchon in the Venetian -- great for breakfast (wonderful omelettes and coffee)

7. Staxx in the Mirage -- chef is familiar with Celiac and they have good chicken/steak dishes here

8. Hugo Cellars in 4 queens (old Vegas) -- my favorite place to eat -- its been in Vegas for decades - used to be a big "mafia" place to eat -- now it is one of the locals favorites to eat. Lobster, steak, chicken -- just everything is great! Highly recommend it!

9. Fix Steakhouse in the Bellagio -- nice steaks and the lobster mashed potatoes are to die for.

10. The usual (Outback, PF changs in Aladdin, Roy's, Bahama Breeze)

Hope that helps -- if you like Buffets, go to the Bellagio -- especially for Sunday brunch!

Awesome!! Thank you. I'm finally starting to not dread this trip. They've promised there will be fruit at my breakfast meeting, and I'll be taking a ton of Think Thin and larabars for the show floor, but it'll be nice to say "lets go here" for dinner and not be freaked out by it. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to need the beer, but New Grist hasn't hit LA yet and the lush in me is very excited. I'll be on an expense account, you should come out to dinner with us :)

I ordered the New Grist last week - a little pricey, but i am so desperate for beer. It was $32.95 for a 12 pack, which included shipping. the sales lady broke it down & pointed out that it is $2.75 per beer -about average for a beer in a bar. I counted the minutes until it arrived - put them straight in the freezer for a quick chill & oh my god!! it is really good. it has a sweetness to it that regular beer doesn't, but i really liked it. drank 3 right away, and fell asleep rather quickly that night, but it was so worth it. my boyfriend (who is not celiac) said it wasn't bad. that's a pretty good compliment i thought. i really liked it.

it should have dawned on me to try my whole foods - i am going to call them today. i do recommend it to anyone who misses beer. it wasn't my coors light, but if it's all i can have, then so be it. i'll drink it and enjoy it!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
