We'll mostly be in the downtown area, but am open to hearing about any safe restaurants there.

Thanks!!

I have gotten emails from each place saying they could accomodate me.

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!

Attending an international convention for a health product I market. Should be about 10,000 people there! Can't wait!!

Thanks, everybody. I'll print this out.

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
