New Gluten-free Restaurant Options In Kc

I just moved back to Kansas City from Florida and since I have celiac disease, I'm trying to familiarize myself with restaurants that have gluten-free menus or options. From being on this board before, I already know about Grand Street Cafe, Waldo Pizza and the chains (Chili's, Chipotle, Bonefish Grill, etc.) However, I got some information recently that I was new to me and I didn't find it on here, so I thought I would share.

First, there's a coffee house at 74th & Wornall called One More Cup that carries baked goods from Olivia's Oven:

There's also another pizza option--Spin Pizza. Just like Waldo Pizza, their gluten-free crust is from Olivia's Oven.

Not sure if you knew, but Pizza Fusion is now in the area as well, and they make their own gluten-free crust.

I also found out that Tanner's in Waldo carries Redbridge Beer, and so does The Fox and Hound on Metcalf.

Then there's Pei Wei. This is an Asian bistro that's owned by P.F. Chang's. The food is the same as P.F. Chang's but all dishes are under $10. They have a gluten-free menu as well. (I highly recommend the spicy chicken.)

That's all for now. I hope I helped somebody.

Also, if you aren't aware, Lulu's noodle house downtown has a celiac menu! So yuuuumy!

And godfather's pizza delivers a gluten-free pizza in 2 locations in KC.

I saw that Kona Grill on the plaza has gluten free options, as well as Eden Alley, First Watch, and Uno Chicago Grill. I didn't know about Spin! That makes me excited! Thanks!

810 Sports Zone in Overland Park/Plaze both are aware of Gluten and have several options.

Fortune Woks (Chinese) has a gluten free menu, I've heard rave reviews.

Jose Peppers (mexican) is very accomodating.

Tannah's (Overland Park)has gluten free options and the chef is aware of gluten issues.

I'm slow in replying, but I have to say that I think SPIN pizza is amazing. If you join their promotional program you can buy two pizzas and get one free every Monday. We ordered two gluten free pizzas and one regular with drinks and it was only about $30. I love Waldo, but it can get pricey.

I took the extra pizza home with the intention of freezing it but it was so good I ate it up. I hope all those in the Kansas City area have a chance to have this delicious pizza!!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      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...

      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...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

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.

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.
