Vinci, PF Changs, Ben Pao, Weber Grill, Adobo Grill and Wildfire all have gluten free menus.

Ruths Chris is very good about gluten-free (they are in the process of making a gluten-free menu). Carnivale doesnt have a dedicated menu, but they are very good about making things gluten-free. Bistro 110 is also good about it.

all sorts of good places to try. I've also heard that MAggianos does some gluten-free stuff, but have not yet tried it.

Hi, I live in the suburbs of Chicago and Taylor on Rush Street is well aware of celiac people, we ate there this week and i had the grilled chicken with veggies and mashed potatoes-very good but not a cheap place........city $$$

The other place in Oak Brook IL is Wild Fire, they have a gluten free menu. If you email me I can better answer more places knowing where your going to be staying (the area). In Willow Springs there's a place called Greco's, 2 sisters own it and it's an Italian place they serve gluten free pasta and their sauce is awesome...........they know us personally as we frequently go there..........

Hi there! I was just visiting Chicago a couple weeks ago, staying right downtown for a conference. You should check out Lou Malnati's Pizza... I think it's near Illinois and Wells. Anyway, they will make for you an authentic Chicago-style pizza with no crust! Chicago style pizza is famous for having a solid layer of sausage at the bottom, so they just use that as the bottom instead. Plus the waitstaff was so awesome. Definitely check it out if you're in the mood for pizza but beware, the gluten-free pizza option is a bit pricier than the rest.. I think my medium-sized pizza + glass of wine came to around $28. Good luck!

This is great news as I am headed to Chicago in December. Headed to Naperville, IL (the burbs) in October - anyone know of dining options there? There's a Chipotle, so I'm safe for lunches...

Thank you - I haven't eaten at Ted's since pre-diagnosis, so I am eager to go there again.

      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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
