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.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
