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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
