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.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I would hesitate to recommend tetracycline or any antibiotic as a long term therapy option because of the negative impact it has on the gut biome. I took it for years as a teenager for acne and I'm convinced it was a contributing factor in my having developed celiac disease.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt. I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3. I haven't taken the tetracycline with it. It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands...

      First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has s...

      Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt.   I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3.  I haven't taken the tetracycline with it.   It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands of years.  It is absorbed into the skin better than creams made from plants.  It helps prevent or lesson scarring.  See the study below. Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide "The combination of tetracycline and nicotinamide can be recommended as a useful therapy for patients where dapsone is not available or for patients who do not tolerate dapsone." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/
