I'll be visiting Denver at the end of the month to look at the university. Does anyone know of some good, gluten-free restaurants? I know there's Chipolte, PF Changs, Outback, Chili's, and healthfood stores of every type, but I wanted some othere suggestions. I've researched a bit online, but I wanted personal feedback. Thanks!

There's quite a few options here. Are you visiting DU?

One of our favorites is Noodles. They have pad thai or you can get rice noodles with just about anything you want with it. We eat at Noodles about once a week and they have always been very careful about preparing my daughter's food when you tell them gluten free (ask them to press the "allergen alert" button and tell them you are very sensitive).

If you have some money to spend, the Maggiano's in downtown Denver has been great for us as well. Call ahead and tell them you are gluten-free, then remind your server and the chef will come out and take your order. It's pricier, but you'll get good food and won't get glutened.

The Melting Pot (a fondue place) also has a gluten-free menu.

That's about all I can think of for now. Enjoy your trip!

Hey, I hope you enjoy your visit! There is a gluten-free Bakery called "Deby's" which makes good stuff, and also a pizza place "Beau Jo's" that makes gluten-free pizza! There is also a gluten-free indian food place, but it is in a suburb. :( But, they are really good! However, I recommend that you check out the Denver Chapter of the Celiac Sprue Assoc.

Click on "dietary" and then "dining out" --- they have a whole list of gluten-free places.

Happy dining!

I just moved to the Denver area and there are several great places!! I loved Maggiano's Little Italy, Beau Jo's Pizza, Deby's Gluten Free Bakery, and the places you listed that we all know (Outback, Chilis, PF Changs, etc). Hope you have a great trip!

There is a Noodles extremely close to the CU campus in Boulder. My daughter had a performance there last Saturday and we stopped in for a quick dinner (we go to Noodles quite often near our house). I was worried with college kids there they might hose it up, but the order-taker-gal was really great and she pressed the "Alergen Alert" button 29 times for us! They were very careful and my daughter didn't get glutened on the opening night of her play. Thanks goodness!

Boulder would actually likely be a very Celiac-friendly place as it is very much a health-conscious place. I don't know about the CS campus, but Denver is also rather nice and abundant eating options as well.

Well this is going to come in very handy!

My parents and sister are landing at DIA on the 5th of nov, my first house guests after going gluten-free, and as this is the first time they have been out here I get to play host to the tourists...... No I will not be wearing that tacky tourist shirt either! I'll be the normal one standing next to them!! :P

Now as long as I take my list I can eat safe !

Now anyone know what my sister is talking about when she says some candy place in denver that makes ribbon candy while you watch?

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
