Check out the website Open Original Shared Link. They have a link that lists local restaurants with gluten-free menus. Cold Stone Creamery is very good about making sure your ice cream is clean (they'll remove top layers/get out a new (clean) stone to mix it on, etc.) I think that Rodizio Grill in SLC also has a gluten-free menu that they'll give you if you call them. (But it's not on the gfutah list . . . .) I'm pretty sure that when the GIG conference was here this summer, they went to eat at Rodizio (it's VERY VERY good . . . it's a Brazilian BBQ place - lots of meat, though) but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else who went could tell you.

Hope you have fun while you're here! There's a store in Taylorsville (an 8 minute drive South on the I-15 freeway) called Against the Grain that only carries gluten-free foods . . . you might check it out.

What are you going to be doing while you're here?

Some of the best restaurants I've been to around here are Carrabas, Outback and the Spaghetti Factory (don't know if the ones in SLC have gluten-free pasta, but the one in Orem does). Outback has a gluten-free menu on their website, I'd check it out before you come. Don't get the ceasar salad though! Wingers is another one that is supposed to be coming out with a gluten-free menu, but I'd look on the gfutah site for info on that before going in. PF Changs is also good as is Chili's. Macaroni Grill will sub out pasta for mashed potatoes or veggies if you get something grilled. Their salmon and steaks are great!! I even brought in my own gluten-free bread once and they served me "bruschetta" by topping my bread with the veggies! It was great!

As always, just make sure you communicate with the servers. There's lots of good places to eat downtown :)

Good luck!

There's also a PF Chang's downtown and a Ruby Chris's Steakhouse downtown. (That Ruby Chris's is in the Triumph Dining book. I haven't gone there (yet!) but it looks like they even have gluten-free dessert!)

If you'll be at the Salt Palace or the Delta Center, it's practically around the corner. So is Z'Tejas and Thaifoon if you go there.

We moved to SLC about 2 months ago. We haven't been to very many restaurants but my son (who is the only Celiac in the family) really likes Spaghetti Mama's because he can have gluten free pasta there.

congratulations on being able to come to the best place ever! just kidding, i'm a little biased since i live here in slc.

anyway i wanted to mention to you if you're going to be in the downtown area, you might want to check out The Roof Restaurant located in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. it is a wonderful all you can eat buffet. you will have to call to make reservations, just google it or "Temple Square Hospitality Corporation" and it will come up. let them know you have gluten intollerance so you can get something good for desert like ice cream because they usually have a lot of gluten items. It's a buffet, and is kind of pricey, but well worth it and the view of Temple Square is marvelous for tourists. They serve prime rib and honey baked ham every night, shrimp, sometimes salmon, salad though i'm not sure about the dressings, and have great mashed potatoes and I think those are okay.

I know I sound like an add for them, but it's great.

Another great place to go is the Old Spaghetti Factory in Taylorsville. Like someone said there is the Against the Grain there too.

They have WildOats downtown... It's on 400 South and 700 East in that shopping center. You can get to it via the University Trax Trolley Square drop-off. There's also a Chili's on 400 South too.

Another great place to go just for restaraunts is 300 South. I think Buca de Bepa's has gluten free stuff but I'm not positive. In the gateway there are a lot of restaurants too like Thaifoon (sp?). The closest Outback is either in American Fork or Bountiful which are both kind of out of the way, so I wouldn't suggest that. Beware of Rumbi Island Grill! I used to work there, the food is FABULOUS but there are probably lots of cc issues because it's fast food and they use a lot of Teriaki/Jerk sauce with their bowls. Rodizio's is sooooooo good. It is located in the top of the trolley square shopping center and Betsy's right, you do get lots of meat. But it's also an all you can eat kind of deal, and a salad if I'm remembering correctly.

Most of the places in downtown have restaraunts in them, I know Raddisson does and Little America does too.

Maybe the place you're staying will too?

If you'd like any more information on anything in SLC, please feel free to pm me and I'll try to take care of you!

We hope you have a good time while you're here! If you have time to ski, it certainly looks like there out to be enough snow by then :D Alta Ski Resort got 11 inches a couple of days ago!

And there are local grocery stores (the Macey's stores) that do cooking classes all the time, and they do gluten-free classes once a month or so (but it depends on the store . . . I've heard they do them pretty often in Ogden and at least once a month in the Provo/Orem area, but I'm not sure how often they do them in the main SLC area). So if you want to go to one of those, let me know when you'll be here and I'll find out whether there will be one while you're here.

Anytime! That would be great. I have school at night so probably can't "assist" you in eating DARN!

Tell us more about your conference. It sounds exciting.

Well, I'd have to PM you about that. I don't think it's allowed here.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
