Just got back from Chicago and didn't get a chance to eat here Open Original Shared Link but when I called, even with my very restricted diet, they were fine. This place was recommended to me by the Chicago celiac disease group.

Also, we stayed in Schaumburg and ate at Open Original Shared Link and the first day, had a mediocre waitress, the second time (yes, I actually went back) and got exactly what I ordered, how I ordered, and the bartender/waitress was incredible.

Read this Chicago thread--it will give you quite a few. My favs--Vinci's: great pasta !!! Wildfire Grill is great too. Big Bowl has gluten-free pad thai that is wonderful too!! Several locations of that in Chi-town.

I had one of the great meals of my gluten-free life two months ago at the Adobo Grill.

Oh my, there are so many great places to go. Many have already been mentioned. I would highly recommend Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab Restaurant on 60 East Grand behind the downtown Marriott. They are part of Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants, and all chefs are trained in all allergies. I have eaten there several times and have never had trouble. The neat thing that this restaurant chain does is that they "pink ticket" your plate so that everyone in the kitchen sees it as it is being prepared. I watched them do this at Wildfire in Chicago - also a Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant. The manager came over to me (without my asking) and explained the whole process. I was quite impressed and I even had a small article about it published in Living Without Magazine. I would also recommend Da Luciano's which is west of the city. It's a great Italian restaurant with a huge gluten-free menu. Four of the owners' 7 children have celiac. They will do anything for you. You can look them up on line at lucianos.com. Hope this helps.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
