I have been Gluten free for a whole 4 weeks. My family and I are taking a trip to Wisconsin Dells and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on where to eat? Thanks!

I really can't help you in Wisconsin, however in general, if you have to eat in a restaurant in your travels, a steak house, or a family oriented restaurant is easier. At least where we are, as we don't have chain restaurants with glutne free menus here.

I usually stick with something like an omelet for breakfast or lunch, and something simple like a chicken breast with baked potato and steamed veggies. If you have a restaurant card it makes things much easier. I believe Nini has a Newbie kit on this forum somewhere. Ask Mother Goose, she knows where.

I don't know any specific places there, but like Viola suggested, plain foods are probably the safest. I once ordered a salmon dinner which was plain salmon cooked on tin foil (my request), plain rice, and vegetables (which I didn't eat becaue it looked like there was something else in them). I also ordered lobster and plain salad once.

I suggest to avoid things cooked in a sauce unless you ask about all the ingredients. I would be careful with soy sauce based foods as well. I also suggest eating at restaurants and not fast food places and going when it isn't busy.

Thanks. I will do that. Thansk for your help.

I know in Madison they have a bakery that makes great gluten free bread. The address is 7866 Mineral Point Road Madison WE 53717. Their web site is www.sillyyakbakery.com/glutenfree.html

They have wonderful health-food stores that are nice and big with a large selection. Alot of ethnic food restaurants. But I would ask around at the bakery and healthfood stores and they can tell you.

That's a good idea Gail, healthfood stores would likely know the safest places.

The Dells now has a Chicago Uno Grill-we ate there last year, it was pretty good. Here is their online gluten free menu information: Open Original Shared Link

Sorry I can't tell you more about other restaurants, wasn't there more than a day! Have fun-

I feel dumb asking this...are/is The Dells, a city or a region?

If it is a city, I have no information on restaurants. If there are surrounding cities, that I can look up.

Don't feel bad! The city is called Wisconsin Dells, WI-but most people in the tri-state area just call them the Dells, which leads to confusion. Sort of how local MNs call St. Paul/Minneapolis "The Twin Cities" or usually just "The Cities" which can lead to confusion on a national/international board like this one.

You are all so helpful. This is a wonderful site! I like The UNO restaurant. I ate at one in Chicago and seem to remember it being delicious. I think the breakfast suggestions were a great idea.

This site is a God send.

My husband has celiac. We've been gluten free since June 2006. We went to the Dells last summer. We packed a lot of food for him to eat. Bread, lunch meat, chips, peanut butter and jelly, etc. We stayed at Mount Olympus so when it was lunch time we went back to the room and ate. It worked out well for us. It was a lot to bring but gives him peace of mind knowing he's not going to get sick on vacation. A lot of times when we go to resturants to eat he will get a salad with chicken. Kraft dressings are good about labeling their foods.

Hope this helps!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
