Travelling To Denver


Mrs-Mama

Recommended Posts

Mrs-Mama Newbie

My hubby has just been diagnosed with Celiac disease so we're just learning what we can and cannot have. We're going to Denver for a long weekend next month and just hoping someone can point us towards some restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We're going to be staying downtown @ the Hyatt Regency Convention Centre, so places near there would be best.

Thanks!

First, let me say congrats on the diagnosis. It's odd to say congrats, but at least your hubby is on his way to better health.

Second, if you need more info on Denver, feel free to email directly through here. Also, definitely get the Triumph Dining cards - a true lifesaver.

Places to eat -

Chipotle - for lunch/dinner. There are many locations around downtown, and everything BUT the flour burrito is safe. Even the amazing chips and guac are gluten free (they have GREAT guac and chips!). I get the burrito bowl. You can ask them to change their gloves too before they start to make yours to risk cross contimanation.

Tokyo Joe's - again, quick and cheap for lunch/dinner. Make sure to ask for the gluten free teriyaki. I get the steak bowl/rice/veggies and terriyaki. There are two downtown locations, and one near the State Capital building at 13th & Grant.

Dinner - for a nice, bit pricey dinner - try Vesta Dipping Grill. They have a great gluten free menu, and this is a great restaurant. For a bit less $, but you might wait a bit more to get a seat, try their sister restaurant which is located uptown. The name is Steuben's and they have a gluten free menu as well.

Many folks rave about Deby's Gluten Free Restaurant which is maybe 20 min from the city. I've not eaten there, but it's 100% safe and 100% gluten free. It's in an odd location, in kind of an industrial park, but you can search for them online and call for directions/hours.

Breakfast - I rarely eat breakfast out, as i don't trust eggs (many places make omelettes and add pancake batter to make them fluffy - no lie!). I'd stick with getting some fresh fruit, yogurt, peanut butter, even cheese and crackers. That's my travel breakfast!

There is a Vitamin Cottage on the edge of downtown which has a lot of gluten-free products, and frozen products too (15th & Platte are cross streets). THere's a Whole Foods (a small one) in Capital Hill area, about 5 minute from downtown. THey may have some frozen meals you could microwave at your hotel. There is a much larger Whole Foods in Cherry Creek that has a bigger frozen section. That's about 5-10 minutes from downtown as well. Not far at all.

Other restaurants - OH - the Blue Bonnet. It's a Mexican restaurant that has a gluten free menu. The staff is trained and all the gluten-free food is served on colored plates as opposed to the plain white ones so there is no confusion. The Blue Bonnet is about 10 minutes south of downtown. Cross streets are pretty much Broadway & Alameda (any taxi driver or hotel staff should be able to get you there!)

There's a PF Chang's downtown, as well as a Maggiano's. Both offer gluten free menus and options!

Travel safe and don't worry - it is manageable!

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
