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.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
