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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
