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.

Enjoy your stop through Denver/Colorado lablady! Sounds like it will be a lot of fun all the places you will be traveling to :)

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.

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
