Looking For Places To Eat In Utah And Las Vegas

Hey all. This is my first post here. Thought I should probably introduce myself before I jump into anything. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in May '06 after living through the symptoms of it for several months. I am also a type 1 Diabetic, which makes things even more difficult. After dealing with the new Celiac diet for the past 14 months or so, I've felt infinitely better, both physically and mentally. I do miss a lot of the foods that I used to eat, but I've convinced myself that by not eating them I'll be much healthier.

Anywho, on to the actual topic at hand. I am heading out west to Utah and Las Vegas with my family in a couple of days (leaving the morning of 7/28), and I have done NO planning for finding places to eat due to the fact that I was without Internet access for a couple weeks prior to this message. I was wondering if anyone knew of any restaurants that have a gluten-free menu. While in UT, I'll be in Springdale, Moab, and Torrey (if that helps at all). Although I know my family will do anything that needs to be done to help me eat, I don't want to burden them with only being able to eat of the the cooler (so to speak). If anyone could help out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Matt

Matt,

I don't really have any recommendations for that part of Utah since they are quite small towns. I am fairly new to eating gluten free, but I have read several posts about non-chain restaurants seem to be more accommodating. There is a place called Smitty's in Moab that I LOVE, not sure about the gluten free though. Anyways, not that I was much help, but I hope you have a fun and safe trip.

WOW, thanks for that list. I wasn't able to find anything like this specific to Utah, so thanks. This is a great list, but the small towns you mentioned will not have these restaurants. I do knot that Moab has Burker King, McDonald's, and maybe a Wendy's.

I also just found out that San Francisco Sourdough Pizza in downtown SLC has a gluten-free pizza. I can't wait to try it, but I've heard it's really good. It's between 200 and 300 S. on Main Street.

Yahooooo!!!!

Places in Vegas to eat gluten-free:

1. PF Chang's in Planet Hollywood/Aladdin Casino

2. Outback steakhouse on Las Vegas Blvd.

3. In N Out Burger (all around but one near strip is !-15 and Tropicana)

4. Samba Brazilian Steakhouse in Mirage

5. Fix at bellagio (great Ribeye and lobster mashed potatoes)

6. Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay (Burger and Salad)

7. Most Casino cafes can do eggs and hash browns in separate clean skillet for you.

Hope this helps,

I know its a little late for the original poster, but hopefully this can help someone else heading out to Las Vegas -

I just returned from a trip out that and the most accomodating place was actually Margaritaville on the strip. The waitress was very accomodating and checked multiple times with the chef to make sure everything was okay. They had a 'doh' moment when they put bread ontop of my perfectly Gluten Free Jambalaya, but they were happy to get me a new dish. I had absolutely no problems with eating the delicious meal.

Cheers!

      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.
