I just found out that I have Celiac Disease. I am 38yrs. old and I am afraid to eat out. I was wondering if anyone knows of any safe places to eat in the Chicago South Suburbs.

I don't live in Chicago, but I just came back yesterday from a long weekend there. Obviously someone who lives there can be a much bigger help but I can tell you that there are tons of restaurants in Chicago that are gluten friendly.

I was there for a wedding so several of the meals I had there were in venues I did not choose, but one restaurant we went to of our own choosing was Weber Grill. They have a gluten free menu and everything there is incredible! My only complaint is that they don't have one in NY and I now want to fly to Chicago every weekend to eat there. LOL!!

We also went to Lou Malnalti's for gluten-free pizza. I wasn't really a huge fan of it, but it's possibly trying once to decide for yourself.

I heard about a place called Cafe Ba Ba Reebo that is gluten friendly. It is a tapas / paella restaurant. I really wanted to try it but unfortunately we only had 1 dinner during the weekend that we were not part of wedding events and couldn't make it there. I've heard it's excellent.

If you do a search on here, people have mentioned several other restaurants in the suburbs of Chicago that have gluten free menus.

How far south are you? (I'm from Chicago Heights, but live in Minnesota, now.)

Aurelio's in Homewood does gluten-free pizza, as do some of their franchises. My son and I had it once and did fine. (They just use Kinnickinnick crusts, I think, but it's the toppings that I love, so I was happy! I thought I'd never have Aurelio's again.)

I don't get down that way much anymore, though, and have only been gluten-free for about a year, so I don't know much else, yet. I can see where my folks have had good luck when they've been back in town, but it may be a few days.

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I give this advice to everyone who is considering quitting their job: always try to line up a new job before you quit. Why? Because it's easier to find a job when you have one--unemployment for a stretch of time can be hard to explain, especially if the period of unemployment is prolonged. Also, unless you're independently wealthy or have family support, people tend to get desperate and take any job when the money is running out, so you could end up in a worse job. Just my 2 cents...

      Confused about my results

      So, you are not IGA deficient. But as Russ H suggested, it looks like you may be a seronegative celiac.
