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.

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

      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.

      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.
