Celiac Dinner In Las Vegas

Hey gang,

I am organizing a gluten free meal at Maggiano's here in Las Vegas on June 16, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. I still have some open seats, so I thought I would offer them to the board here as I know there are folks around the Nevada, Arizona and California area that might come in. The price is $33.00 a person (everything included). I have worked with their chef before (Chef Curtis) and he is absolutely brilliant.

Just to tease you, here is the menu Chef Curtis and I have worked out so far (all selections served family style):

*****I purposely selected at least one dish in each course to be lactose free as well *******

Appetizers - (1) Italian Caprese (Buffalo Mozerella, Fresh Tomato and Basil) and

(2) Grilled Calamari

Salads - (1)Maggiano's Chopped Salad (Bleu Cheese and dressing on side) and (2)Maggiano's Ceasar Salad (dressing and parmesan cheese on side)

Pastas - (2) Maggiano's Gluten free Linguini with Johnny Z Pomodoro Sauce and (2)Gluten Free Farfalle (Bow tie pasta) with chicken, spinach and herbed olive oil and chicken stock reduction.

4. Entrees - (1) Authentic Chicken Piccatta and (2) Oven roasted Pork Loin served with au jus.

5. Dessert - (1) Creme Brulee and (2) a dairy-free Sorbetto

So, Hurry up and RSVP! (RSVP to my email - broncobux2000@yahoo.com)

Bring a loved one too! Although, beware - no gluten containing items will be served! This is our day and we will not be bothered by gluten containing selections on OUR TABLE! :)

Oh, my mouth is watering. I have not had calamari since I went gluten free. Can I get that when I have dinner with you in August? I wish I lived closer, but hubby won't drive 5 1/2 hours for a dinner. Only you do that, but we are old LOL.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh so jealous here!

there's a very slight chance I'll be in Vegas in July (now why would I go from Fresno in July to Las Vegas? from HOT to HELL??? :blink: ) I will pm you if I go for restaurant/ hotel suggestions.

I think you guys are going to have such a fantastic time - menu looks great!

Just thought I would bump this again for those that have not seen this thread.

I have to tell everyone that broncobux knows what he is doing in restaurants and is on a personal name basis with many Las Vegas chefs. I have seen him in action at a restaurant and the chef comes out and can't do enough.

So this meal would be more then safe. It would be very enjoyable with other Celiacs' and Chris is a great host.

It sounds really great! :) I'm a bit too far away, but if I could I'd be there!

Sounds very good. Too bad the timing is not right. I will be in Las Vegas on vacation in June but not on June 16. Maybe we will eat at Maggiano's while we are there.

We had a blast on Saturday. The chef and wait staff did a pretty good job (Chef screwed up the pork loin, but he made up for it with extra creme brulee and massive amounts of sorbet for the group).

To be honest, I don't care for the entrees at Maggianos (the gluten free ones). I like the pasta, love the salads, apps and desserts.

Chef was nice enough to bake 2 loaves of the Whole Foods Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic bread that I brought in so we could enjoy dipping bread in olive oil/balsamic vinegar (I have to admit I reallu liked that !)

All in all, I would label it as a success.

Next time, I will try to eliminate the entree and get more pasta and side items...

In July/August, I will be hosting a gluten free BBQ for the Vegas Celiac Group. Johnsonville Brats marinated in gluten free beer, Hebrew National HotDogs, Kinnikinnick Buns, Tater Salad, Bush's Baked Beans and plenty of coolers filled with Red Bridge!

Should be a hoot!

Man, I want to go to that bbq! Bronco, where do you get your Kinnikinnick Buns? I can't justify paying $15 online for them (price + shipping), and can't find them in any local Denver store (I just called around to Wild Oats, Vitamin Cottage and others). I've never seen but I would love to have a real hot dog again with a bun, mustard, pickles, the works...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Tazfromoz · Posted

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
