The only one that comes up in that search engine thing is Outback Steakhouse. We are going there for the weekend and need a place to eat. We might just end up at Outback again...but wanted to know if anyone knows of any other places we could try around the Madison area. Thanks.

Cheeseburger in Paradise has a gluten-free menu and the staff in knowledgable...it's just off the belt line, I believe the greenway station exit.

Great Dane is a bar/restuarant and their food is good.

I would definetly stop at Silly yak bakery....their gluten-free bake days are Tue and Sat(closed on Sundays). They always have product though. Very good bread!!!!

You have to go to Bunky's Cafe-it is amazing! They have gluten free bread, gluten-free pizza and pasta. You will be treated like royalty!! Here is there website:bunkyscafe.net

Oh man...I didn't get your suggestions before I left. What a bummer! Well, there's always next time.

What's funny is we drove by the SillyYakbakery many times going from my BIL's house to the mall. Even when we were leaving and we drove by that bakery we laughed at the name because my husband uses Yak in a lot of his online user names for things. Anyway, we wondered what kind of bakery it was. Boy, I sure wish we would have saw the suggestions before I left....

thanks again!!!

Thanks for posting the restaurant suggestions. I'm going to be in Madison on a business trip next week and was having a mini-freakout because I didn't think any of my old favorites would have gluten-free meals. I never would have expected Nitty Gritty to have a gluten-free menu!

I posted on here on Sunday, somewhere, how well we were treated at the Outback on the West Side last Friday night. They even had Redbridge AND New Grist beers. We've been to Bunky's, albeit before we knew about my celiac, now we'll have to go back and try their gluten-free menu items. We HAVE had their pizza, found it at Woodman's, and the crust was made by Silly Yak. It was excellent. The only issue we had was the fact the type of pizza it was was on a slip on the INSIDE of the box!! How are you supposed to read that when the box is sealed shut???

Imperial Gardens in Middleton, just at the edge of Madison on University drive will make practically anything on their menu gluten-free and they will serve gluten-free soy sauce on the side. It is so nice to be able to go to an oriental food place and get something with a brown sauce instead of always with a white sauce. I love that place and go there everytime I am in Madison. Barbara

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
