We are taking a vacation to Scottsdale Arizona this summer. I am trying to get a head start on planning all of this. Does anyone know of some good places to eat? I am told there are some resturaunts in the mall accrossed from our hotel but I don't know what resturaunts they have or if they have anything gluten-free? Thanks for your help!

Picazzo's Pizza

The BEST gluten free pizzeria in the West. They have tons of gluten free appetizers salads and desserts as well - its a Celiac paradise!

www.picazzos.com

Enjoy it like the rest of us out here!

Also, make sure you try In N Out Burger (order your double double burgers as "protein style with no sauce" and "cheesy fries well done" - this will direct them to make your double cheesburger in a lettuce wrap and to melt cheese over crispy fries - they have dedicated fryers)

The chef at the Sanctuary on Camelback mountain took very good care of me. It's a high end place, but it was great. You can Google them, they have a website.

Picazzo's is definitely the best restaurant for Celiacs!! However, there are a lot of places in Scottsdale and the surrounding area that have great gluten free options. I have lived here for almost 4 years now and I have tried almost everywhere here is a list of my favorites:

Chevy's Mexican Restaurant: LARGE gluten free menu

Postinos Wine Cafe: No gluten free menu, but all ingredients are made from scratch...the salads are to die for

Bonefish Grill- in Mesa but worth the drive

Havana Cafe - Cuban food and the chef is very helpful

The Fish Market - Lots of options

AZ88 - no gluten free menu, but I have eaten there a ton of times with no problems...just talk to the server. The Salmon Chips are SOO good

PieZanos - gluten free pizza, deserts and salads

Caffe Boa: GREAT PLACE!!! It is on Mill Avenue in Tempe and they have amazing escargot, mozz/tom salad, lemon creamed artichokes..OH MY Goodness! You have to try

Gordon Biersch: also on Mill, has a great gluten free menu. The garlic fries and wedge salad are my favs!

I also work at The Seafood Market and Restaurant in Gilbert and if you ask for me I will make sure you have a great experience ( I have tons of Celiac regulars).

Plus there are Outbacks, PF Changs and PeiWei's all over the valley.

I hope this helps!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
