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!!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK. Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs. If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend...

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
