I belong to the local CSA chapter and I have several places that I could recommend. I highly recommend Abrusci's - www.abruscis.com. It is a locally owned Italian restaurant with a gluten free menu. They are skilled and trained to handle gluten free. The pizza is delicious, and they can make any pasta dish you want. Also, BeauJo's Pizza Place offers gluten free pizzas. The location I went to is in Highlands Ranch (Denver suburb). In fact, I am meeting my group there tonight. Ted's Montana Grill offers gluten free. You can look them up on line. I love it there, BUT, sometimes they can be lax, so I sit at the bar where I can watch them prepare my food. And, of course, you have your usual Outback and Chili's Restaurants that do a good job with gluten free. I hope this info helps you.

Thank you, nlindsey. That's what I was hoping for...maybe a pizza place or something a little different from the usual chains. Is there a store you could recommend so that we can pick up snacks instead of trying to pack them on the plane? Thanks again :)

Deby's Gluten Free Bakery and Cafe in Denver is 100% gluten free.

They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner...

In Vegas, you have many choices.

Besides the usual chain restaurants, you can go to:

1 Staxx in the Mirage (Call ahead, tell them you are Celiac)

2 Samba in the Mirage (Same thing)

3 Craftsteak in MGM

4 Cafe Ba Ba Reeba in the Fashion Show MAll

5 Maggiano's in Fashion show mall

6 Most sushi restaunts on the strip (no soy sauce, so imitation crab)

7 Bouchon in the Venetian (Great Breakfast)

8 Vegas has two whole foods markets and a couple Wild Oats..

9 Low Calzone in Henderson for gluten free pizza (call first)

Pisco's on 6th Avenue is a bit pricier then your normal chains, but YUMMY and they will do certain things gluten free if you talk with them. Their porkchop was fantastic, and they made me the same sauce it comes with, just gluten free. They have the best french fries hands down I have ever had.

Deby's I think is overrated, but it is 100% gluten-free.

We ate at Las Delicias last night and it was great. Waiter recommended grilled chicken and the veggie fajitas with corn tortillas. VERY good and gluten-free. There are four locations in Denver.

I need to try Abrusci's - it's north of Denver in the burbs (I rarely get there) but their menu seems great for gluten-free items.

lablady511,

There are Whole Foods and Wild Oats in Denver and around the metro area, same for Vitamin Cottage health food stores (these are my favorite, small locally owned and cheaper for your snacks).

Here's the link to look up store locations: Open Original Shared Link

I am beginnning to think the same thing about Deby's myself, but it is nice to know there is an establishment that is 100% gluten free.

ALthough, a friend of mine bought some foccacia type bread at Deby's last week for me - it was hands down the best bread I've had (gluten free). Their muffins were fair, their cheesecake stunk.

I'm headed to Cheesecake Factory for dinner tonight. I've heard good/bad about gluten-free there so wish me luck. I wish more places in teh city knew about gluten-free. It seems like the burb places know more.

Good luck at the Cheesecake factory Steve :)

I just don't eat out, sorry I can't help you out with more ideas of places to go. If I hear of anything in the future I will be sure to post it.

Regarding Deby's, I have only tried a few things. The cinnamon rolls are awful, muffins I agree very fair, I do however love their pizza. I actually like it better than Beau Jos gluten-free.

Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions. They surely will make our trip more fun. I live in central Massachusetts. It's sad that we don't have any restaurants that serve gluten free pasta or pizza....hopefully that will change soon.

I found this link to the Denver Dining List, through the Celiac Sprue Association, they also have a list for Ft. Collins, Boulder, and Colorado Springs.

I had heard about Maggianos a few years ago, there was an article in the paper about the head chef's wife having celiac so he was aware of the difficulties of eating out with the disease and wanted to make the restaurants celiac friendly. I don't know if they have been successful with this or not, but it is on the list.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      Medication

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
