If anyone has any good places to eat, shop in Colorado my partner is travelling from Seattle to Denver soon and will need to shop for and sometimes eat out in Gluten free places. If there are any good places in Colorado that are good especially Fort Collins, Boise Idaho , Idaho Falls, Cheyenne Wyoming - this is his route we would really appreciate any reccommendations. Thanks :D

The usual major chains are good: Outback, Carrabbas, Red Robin and PF Changs.

My girlfriend lives just outside Denver so we have been doing some research and have found, in Denver:

Masaala - a vegetarian indian restaurant, large gluten-free menu

Californian Cafe - Park Meadows Mall, just off I-25 and County Line Road

Also Rumbi Grill can be gluten-free so long as you as for non-marinated meats and no salad dressings. Their salsa is gluten-free too.

LoLa and Rodizio Grill (which is in Downtown Denver) will give assistance to help customers select gluten-free options.

Hope this helps a bit.

If he is doing any food shopping then Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage is good. All their gluten-free food has a purple label on the shelf by the tag to make it easy and their staff are well informed.

Sri Thai in Fort Collins is a Thai restaurant that had a gluten-free menu available when I visited there six years ago. That is where I learned that oyster sauce, as well as soy sauce, needs to be avoided. (Their gluten-free menu clearly indicates that the entrees with oyster sauce are NOT gluten-free.) I enjoyed my meals there very much.

Fort Collins, Co 80521

I visited the Denver area last year and will actually be going again in 2 weeks. I found an Italian restaurant, Abruscis, that was awesome! They actually serve pizzas, pasta dishes, subs, fried calamari (basically, all the bad-yet-oh-so-good Italian foods we can never eat!) It's located outside of the city in (go figure) Wheat Ridge. I don't know the proximity to the places you listed but I would definitely recommend this place!

Open Original Shared Link

I'm thinking I'll probably try this place: Open Original Shared Link for my upcoming trip!

The area is very gluten-free friendly and pretty much every restaurant is aware and accomodating. :-)

Thank you for the suggestions! As the car wouldn't start etc. he is now flying to Denver and staying in Fort Collins for a major part of the trip. Now he has some places to take Dad to dinner in Denver! Any other Fort Collins places that are good would be great if there is anyone out there who has any more suggestions.

Thanks so much!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Okay went online to check green mountain k cups .It was said that the regular coffees are fine but they couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.with the flavors. im trying to figure out since I eliminated the suyrup so far so good. I’m hoping. thanks it feels good to listen to other people there views.
    • Teaganwhowantsanexpltion
      Thank you I will i have been on a strict gluten free diet ever since I got diagnosed but sometimes places lie about there food so there r some things that do get contaminated which causes me to throw up on end for several hours until I can't hold myself up anymore
