Going to Las Vegas and staying at THE Hotel I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for gluten free options at any restaurants?

thanks!

Hi.

I copied my post for you from last month when someone was asking.......

Ooh, I'm completely jealous. I LOVE Vegas! Have a blast!

Hi.

I went to Vegas over the holidays. So fun! My husband and friends surprised me for my 40th birthday! It was my first trip after diagnosis last August. I went with a bunch of power bars in my suitcase figuring GFCFSF would be ridiculous to accommodate. I did o.k. -- got sick once, but I think it was soy.

We stayed at the Encore/Wynn and mosty ate there. A bit pricey, but worth it to feel good--couldn't miss out on blackjack!

This is where I ate great food:

Tableau at the Wynn. Absolutely amazing entree and very knowledgeabe. Dressy.

Terrace Pointe Cafe at the Wynn. Good food. Also very knowledgable. Casual. At lunch there 3 times!

Maggiano's across from the Wynn. Good gluten-free pasta. Waiter didn't have a clue, but the chef did, and everyone was very nice. Casual.

The Buffet at the Wynn. We got a free meal so we went for breakfast. I stuck to a fresh omelet from the omelet station and it was great!

This is where I didn't eat great food:

Bartolotta at the Wynn. They were super nice, but the veggie dish they prepared for me was just awful. My husband and friends all agreed. So, I sent it back. Not something I ever do. Previously, before going gluten-free, I had a wonderful meal there. Too bad.

Wazuzu at Encore. I got terribly sick a few hours later. It resembled a soy reaction for me even though we specified NO soy. Also, my server was in the dark.

I hope you have a wonderful trip! I LOVE Vegas. I was worried about being a pain in the A. But, you know what? I got used to it! Ha! I was just very polite and extra thankful. I would definitely feel comfortable going back.

Cheers!

I always go to PF Changs @ Planet Hollywood on the strip. They have a gluten-free menu and it's nice not to have to explain everything to a clueless waiter / waitress.

Good Luck!

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
