Hello =) I am leaving for Phoenix next Thursday and I would like to know some places which will provide gluten free options? The main one's I have found are Red Robin's, PF Chang's, and Picazzo's. I know there is a Pei Wei but I am really sick of eating Pei Wei everytime that I am out. Also, which grocery stores have good selection for gluten free foods? Thank you! ^_^

For groceries there's the usual WhFds, Tjoe's but also 2 other non-major chains - Sprouts & Sunflower.

Multiple locations for all.

What part of Phx are you heading to?

The big chain groc stores weren't too bad - the Basha's by me even had Redbridge!

There might be some useful info here -

Here are a few places I like:

Havana Cafe - has gluten free menu - ask for it(Bell Road location)

Cantina Laredo - has gluten free menu - ask for it (Frank Lloyd Wright location)

Pizza Picazzo - there are several - I usually go to the Frank Lloyd Wright location

PF Changs

White Chocolate Grill - have not been there yet since going gluten-free, but heard they have a gluten-free menu

Fago de Chao - on Scottsdale Road near the Borgata = excellent and they even have good bread, but is around $50/person

I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of them right now. Most of the restaurants I listed are in North Scottsdale.

Stores: As Tom mentioned, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's. Safeway by me as a small gluten-free section.

let us know what part of Phoenix you will be staying.

Sorry, it's Fogo de Chao. Also I've had a good experience at Carraba's on Scottsdale and Frank Lloyd Wright area.

The Tonto Grill in Cave Creek! It's a haul if you're anywhere but North Scottsdale.

Janet,

Does the Tonto Grill have a gluten-free menu or did you have to talk to the chef? Thanks. I'm in Fountain Hills so this is not too far from me.

I don't know if they have a printed menu because it changes every so often but they can tell you what's gluten-free. I used to eat there once a week before going gluten-free. Now that I don't live in AZ I don't make it there too often but I've never had any problems getting a safe meal.

It might be also useful to have a look at the list at specialgourmets, there are some 70-80 gluten-free places in Phoenix and surroundings (many chains, but some independent gluten-free restaurants/bakeries as well). here is the link:

Visited Phoenix area in March 2008. Used the Triumph Dining Guide. Found most of the restaurants mentioned by contributors, including Havanna Cafe which was great. Have found the quite useful. Think it also mentioned grocery stores. Know I found some cookies, bagels,

I came back home to Arizona from college and discovered an EXCELLENT new restaurant called True Foods! It is on 24th St. and Camelback at the Biltmore Shopping Center. Dr. Andrew Weil of the University of Arizona worked to ensure that everything is organic and follows his "anti-inflammatory diet." I would estimate that a third of the menu items are gluten free, and the food is delicious. My poor waiter put up with me as I explained anxiously how careful they would have to be about cross contamination, but he was already aware of it and ensured me that the chefs are well trained and he told me how careful they are. They even had Redbridge!! It was incredible. I almost cried. Lots of organic wine too. This was the best gluten free dining experience at a restaurant I have ever had. Lots of dairy free and soy free options as well.

There is also a Chipotle on 16th and Camelback; I haven't tried too many other restaurants in Phoenix.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
