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!

      UPDATE:  here I am a couple months past my full diagnosis and going gluten free.  I’ve been feeling a lot better.  More energy, joint pain has gone down a lot.  Haven’t really had the headaches and migraines I’ve had for years.   My daughter(age 17) has had some symptoms which we thought were something else, but with my diagnosis I said,  have the dr test her for celiacs.  Her antibodies came back as greater then 100.  So she is scheduled for her endoscopy and going to be joining me on this journey.

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

      After waisted time of new care team, yet again EXHAUSTED saw new gi today in Modesto, though all my ailments im not getting any kind of concern of me being celiac and sentive to just about everything since menopause. Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I  get the shakes.I have to take the crappy stuff and get injected always more than 4 times always.Its infuriating
