Anyone know of a gluten-free lunch source near Chicago's Millenium park? I'm looking for a place that will deliver to our office, which is near the park. I'll be traveling there on Tuesday.

Thanks.

Goodwins is a great deli in the loop that uses all Boar's Head meats which is good for us Celiacs. Their salads are awesome. They also have wraps and sandwhiches. but unfortunately they do not have corn tortillas. I've talked to the owner and he said he is looking for a place where he can order the large sized corn tortillas for wraps. Anyway, the website is below, and they do catering, not sure how far their distance is, but i am assuming if you are in the loop its fine. A couple of the salads have croutons, just order without, but the meats and chicken are safe. Also the "turkey and chicken salad" are good to go too, i have not had any problems with them. but i love the chef salad, its huge and definitely fills you up. Also, they use Marzetti's salad dressings, many of which are gluten-free. I always get the balsamic vinagrette, but i am pretty sure that the ranch and lite ranch (among others) are gluten free too.

Thanks so much for the useful information.

As it happened, I was in Chi-town yesterday for lunch and we ended up eating out at Benigan's (if you can call it a meal.) The server had no idea what I meant when I asked her if they had any gluten-free menu options. She did offer to talk to the chef who informed us that they didn't have a gluten-free menu and couldn't guarantee against cross contamination. I ended up having a salad with specific ingredients I requested off the cuff with vinegar & oil dressing. Not exactly satisfying. It was a business trip, so I had little control over where we ate.

Oh well, I'm new to this gluten-free stuff and it was one more learning experience.

I'll definitely keep your Goodwins info handy for the next time I'm there.

There is also a Chipotle on Michigan Avenue. They don't deliver, but you can fax in your order and not wait in the long lines. I order frequently and have never been sick, but I may not be the most sensitive person. I get the burrito bowl with chicken.

I'm headed there in December, for a week, so this is good information. Chipotle - I'm saved! We're staying near the Merchandise Mart as my partner has a show there, so I'm excited to hear I don't have to live on peanut butter for a week.

Goodwins is very near the Merchandise Mart. I work near there as well. Goodwins is on Franklin and Lake, so you basically just need to cross the river from the Mart. There is also another Chipotle on Lake and Franklin.

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
