Amanda, I am not very good about sweet mixed drinks, but someone can help you out.

Congratulation on your coming of age. :)

Congrats on your birthday and have fun on your trip!!!

When I went I stuck to wine and champagne. I was worried about drinks that even if they were gluten-free, they would be mixed up with ones that were not gluten-free (spillage, or waitress grabbing the wrong drink).

As far as food, I had great experiences at Emeril's Fish House in the MGM Grand, the Outback across the street from the Mirage, and I took a lot of my own food too.

Have fun!!!!

I am going to Las Vegas on 3/2 and I never take my own food. I stay at the Mirage and eat only there. Kokomo's and Stack are fully aware of gluten free eating. At both the chef will come out and talk to you, if you ask. I have lunch at Carnegie Deli and get the corned beef or pastrami. My hubby and I ask for the meat on one plate and the bread on another (for him). It is MORE then enough for two people. I used to take my own bread to the Deli, but I don't anymore as I love just the hot pastrami. As far as drinks, I don't know as I stick to wines at dinner and a Vodka and Tonic at other times. You might try emailing broncobux as he lives in LV and is aware of everything ot eat and drink. Have a great birthday.

Also, if you do want to bring snacks, any of the hotels will usually put a frig in your room - just ask.

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”
