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!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
