I am headed to Chicago this weekend with my family (3 celiacs). Any suggestions for restaurants for downtown Chicago. We have eaten at Wildfire. Looking for something different. Thanks

Vinci - great gluten-free italian food

Ben Pao - upscale chinese with gluten-free menu

PF Changs - upscale chinese with gluten-free menu

Webber Grill - huge gluten-free menu

Bistro 110 is a nice restaurant. The chef has a son with a peanut allergy so she is super careful with celiacs.

Carnivale is fun - no gluten-free menu - but they are always able to prepare something gluten-free for me.

Fogo de Chao - a brazillian place where they have all these "meat skewers" and the most interesting salad bar ever. All but 2 of the meats are gluten-free. And they have rolls on the table that are gluten-free!! so good. They are made with yucca flour. I highly recommend it. Its expensive, but i am not sure if they have "kids pricing" or not. And you leave, and won't be hungry for days!!

Welcome to Chicago! I'm assuming you will be in the City. Here are some choices you have:

PF Changs 530 N. Wabash

Adobo 1610 N. Wells (it's in the River North area, which is about a 15 min. walk or a quick cab ride if the weather is nasty)

Those are a start. Since I've become gluten-free, I haven't eaten much in the City. I had heard some of the restaurants in the "Lettuce Entertain You" chain offer gluten-free options. If you are staying at a hotel, the desk clerk or concierge could help you locate those restaurants.

Hope you have fun - it's a great city!! Everything is all decked out for Christmas!

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
