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"-

Open Original Shared Link

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.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
