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!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
