I know there are PF Changs and Outbacks in Chicago - but I was hoping to try some other places that I cannot have at home in PA.

Can anyone recommend gluten-free lunch/dinner places to check out - I'll be traveling with 2 non-celiac folk.

Thanks in advance.

Wildfire

Adobo Grill (yum!)

Vinci ($$)

Carrabba's

Da Luciano's

Ben Pao

Chicago Diner (vegetarian)

Flat Top Grill

Fogo de Chao

Rezas

The Weber Grill has a good size gluten-free menu. I ate there last week and it was great. Their dessert menu is just a milkshake, but their dinner menu is large. All the food is cooked on Weber charcoal grills.

I believe they have an online menu. Good luck.

you gotta try vinci! sooooo good. in the city. Carnivale doesnt have a gluten-free menu, but they do work with you and they were so nice and helpful. Awesome food. Chips are made in a dedicated fryer and their guac is the best thing in the world.

I totally agree, Vinci is the place to go for sure. Excellent food and great waitstaff. They picked up on my declining bread and asked if I'd like a gluten free menu. It's expensive but well worth it.

Your non-celiac friends will definitely like Adobo. My gluten-free son had a 30th birthday party there and his friends raved about the food. The CSA had their annual lunch at Ben Pao this year, so they should have a gluten-free menu now. They select a different restaurant each year and work with the staff. Then after the luncheon, the restaurant usually keeps the gluten-free menu. That is what happened at Wildfire and Weber Grill. Have a good time.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions!

I ate out for lunch and dinner every day of the trip with NO CC problems or even hesitations. All of the restaurants in Chicago were so accommodating.

We tried out:

Lou Malanati's pizza - gluten free deep dish --- well, it's a sausage "crust" with cheese and sauce on top. Yummy, but very heavy.

Carnivale - YUM!

Hit PF Changs while we shopped the Magnificent Mile

AND ate a Weber Grill.

Plus - Howl at the Moon - great "dueling" piano bar - served Woodchuck!

It was SO nice to be able to feel so comfortable about eating out for three days straight!

Again, thanks for your suggestions!

I vote Da Luciano's the guy has 4 kids with gluten-free and they all work there. Try the VEAL !!

P.S.- Us real Chicagoans know the Italians are in River Grove area.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
