I've tried a few things from there, mainly baked goods- cookies, muffin, etc.. They were pretty decent, they have soy as an ingredient in a lot of their stuff though and that is a problem for me.

They have an eat in cafe and bakery, with a full regular menu, all gluten free!!

I have eaten there once and picked up there baked goods on several occasions. The cafe is small and lovely. It some ways I felt like I was going to mecca. No questions to ask, no possible cc and I could order anything off the menu! I find their products to be good but dense. I like the english muffins but only eat a half at a time. Have fun!

Mango,

It's an all gluten-free establishment. No gluten whatsoever, you can pick anything off the menu to your heart's content.

Also, a few more suggestions when in Denver:

I haven't tried it out but Beau Jo's Pizza, a Colorado pizza tradition, has a gluten-free menu. You can view it at their website under "Menu" and then "Guilt Free Guide"-

There is one located in Denver.

Vitamin Cottage, a local health food store with several locations in and around Denver, gets products from Outside The Breadbox a gluten-free bakery out of Colorado Springs. Their products are very popular so it runs out fast, but I really like the things that I have tried- multi-grain crackers, grahm crackers, cheddar crackers. They also have bread, cookies, muffins, pies, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions Juliem. I can't wait to try these places out...and I really can't wait to drag my friends around to all of these gluten-free places! It'll be a great opportunity to prove to them that I do in fact eat food! :D

No problem Mango!

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. I know this area pretty well as far as where the healthfood stores are (there's a Wild Oats and Whole Foods in the area as well) and Debby's Gluten Free Cafe & Bakery, and the Denver Beau Jo's.

Enjoy your stay in Denver :)

The gluten-free pizza is great at BeauJo's, they also have or are getting the gluten-free beer.

I think they have about 7 locations

Broncobux,

I would also be interested in hearing how your Deby's Gluten Free experience went. If you wouldn't mind posting that would be great and much appreciated!

I used to LOVE BeauJo's pizza. They sell the pizza by weight (1 lb., 2 lb., 3 lb., and so on.) so they are these heavy dense, what they call 'mountain pies'. The crust is awesome and unique, thin in the middle where the toppings are and then the edge is rolled up really thick and has the texture and consistency of fresh bread. They serve it with honey and the tradition is you eat the cheesy/topping thin crust part and then put honey on the thick crust that is left over. It's GOOD!!!

Like I said I haven't tried the gluten free pizza, so I don't know if it made in the same way that the origianl gluten filled pizzas are. But it's good to hear poster Dan gave it a thumbs up.

If you do go I would love to hear your review Mango.

Ok,

So here's the Story from my trip to Denver...

I arrived in Denver around 8:00 p.m. My friends picked me up at the airport and brought me a gluten free sausage/pepperoni/green pepper pizza from Beau Jo's.

It was great! The sauce was inredible and the crust was pretty darn good!!! Beau Jo's serves gluten free person pan size pizzas -- the perfect size!!!

That night my friends went out in Downtown Denver to Larrimer Square -- really nice area, had a ton of fun!

Sat. morning we got up and went to Deby's for breakfast...First of all, it is a little hard to find. It is located in a business park and it seems a little odd to have a restaurant there. After 5 minutes of getting lost, I called Deby's and they re-directed me and a lady even waited outside waving her arms to help us find the place.

As soon as you walk in, you see a bunch of tables and chairs. Also, there are two "freezers" which you can browse through that have a bunch of gluten free food. One of the cases is for all of the bakery items (gluten free bread, crackers, muffins, rolls, etc) The other freezer is for prepared food items (i.e. soups, turkey and stuffing dinners, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, baked ziti, stuffed shells, etc)

By the way, these freezers were awesome -- If I didn't have a 12 hour car ride that day, I would have stocked up (I had no cooler)... :(

Anyway, so we sit down and our waitress comes to the table. Apparently, the waitress is the only one out of Deby's "family" that does not have celiac disease. However, I refused to "hold that against her" and we went on looking at the menu. Speaking of the menu, did I mention that the entire menu is gluten free? Everything on the menu is fair game...how cool is that???

As we are browsing through the menu and sipping on our coffe/orange juice, the manager of the restaurant comes to talk to out table. She reiterates that the entire menu is gluten free and everything is "yummy".

A few minutes later, she comes back to the table and brings us some complimentary muffins from the bakery. One was chocolate chip and one was blueberry. They were sooooooooo good! I forgot what it was like to have hot baked muffins...I need to learn how to make those -- too good!!!

My friends and I then ordered our breakfast. They both had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast (yes, gluten free toast -- it was strange, but well received -- butter and jam and everything -- how cool!!!

I ordered two orders of Biscuits and Gravy - I know it is a bit glutinous (no pun intended -- :) ), but I haven't had gluten free biscuits and gravy, Actually, I haven't had any biscuits and gravy in 10 years. They were good (could have used more gravy, but I always say that -- the biscuits were soft and the sausage gravy was good).

Part me wanted to try the gluten free french toast, but I was too darn full (I did see it go out to another table though...it looked nice)

After we payed the bill and tipped the waitress, I bought some of the bakery items that would keep in the car for the 12 hour drive. Here is what I bought and my opinions of them...

Country White Bread -- Pretty good. It has to be the "longest" gluten-free bread on the market -- still has small pieces of bread, but at least you get a bunch of it! I think it is better toasted, but I think all gluten-free bread is better toasted....

Multi-Grain gluten-free crackers --- These are great. I was trying to think of something to compare it to with regards to flavor and texture. The only think I came up with was think of a multi-grain-like-cheez-it...that is close to this cracker

Regular "Saltine" cracker -- Do not buy these. Enough said.

Gluten Free Burrito Tortillas -- These are also good, borderline "GREAT"... I am having "Bronco's MExican Suprise" for dinner tonight, so I will tell more later. I can tell you that they were pretty good when I tore a piece off of one just to try it. Really Good!

All in all, it was a great trip. I think the people that thought up Deby's are wonderful and creative. I only hope the market works out for them...

Oh yay, sounds like it's a great place with a lot of yummy options! Thanks for sharing your Deby's Gluten Free experience Broncobux. Geesh, it took an out of towner to test out the waters of a place that is literally in my back yard. I know what you mean about the location, it is in a small little industrial/warehouse area. Maybe the rent is a deal there?

It's also good to hear that the BeauJo's gluten-free pizza was a hit as well.

Thanks for the info Bronco! I will be staying away from the saltine crackers :lol: Does anyone know where Beau Jo's gets it's crust? They say they get it from an outside source. I'm curious about the ingredients (if it's chock full of soy and dairy I will be sad). :)

Just got back from Denver and ate at Deby's twice!!! It was so good. First morning I had pancakes and french toast. The pancakes were unbelievable. Not gritty at all. My non-celiac husband even enjoyed them. The french toast was decent, but I would recommend the pancakes any day! I also had lunch there, a turkey club which was delicious. I bought muffins to snack on throughout the day, and they tasted like regular muffins. Not dry or gritty at all!!! What a find. I also ate two BeauJo's pizzas. I have been craving regular tasting pizza and that definitely did the trick. What a great overall experience in Denver. Too bad there isn't anything like that in Philly :(

Yay Mango!

A couple weeks ago I tried both the pizzas at Beau Jos and Deby's, even though they use the same crust I personally preferred the Deby's version- but really, freshly made pizza right out of the oven very much like the real thing, you can't go wrong with either!

I hope you have a safe trip out here and a great time with your friends! I look forward to hearing how your Beau Jos experience goes :)

Here's my review of Beau Jo's:

Soooo good! See scary picture to the left :D. That's me eating pizza that I ordered from a restaurant!!!!! It could have tasted like dirt and I still would have had fun just ordering it :lol: My friends ordered gluten-free pizza too, which totally cracked me up. They said they couldn't taste the difference. Maybe they were just being nice, but I liked it!

I didn't make it to Deby's or anywhere else. I was actually staying in Highlands Ranch and there happened to be a Beau Jo's just a few mintues away from the hotel.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
