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

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

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.

Open Original Shared Link

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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      When I had my Shingles attack in 2019 my vitamin D was at 49 ng/ml. Doctor gave me an antiviral shot and 2 tubes of lidocaine. Sufficient intake of vitamin D and the antiviral essential mineral Zinc can help reduce risk of viral infections. I've been taking Zinc Glyconate lozenges since 2004 for airborne viruses. I have not had a cold since,...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me. Soon after diagnosis I suffered...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,
