Just wondering if there are any celiac disease friendly restaurants and grocery stores in and around the Denver area. My husband and I are considering moving there and will be visiting for a long wknd soon, then will decide about a permanent move. I live in the Chicago 'burbs now and the selection of restaurants and grocery stores that stock food I can eat is really great. Hoping for the same out west. Thanks in advance!

I lived in Boulder, Colorado - and let me tell you, there are more health food stores than regular grocery stores there! :D It was terrific and spoiled me for life. The Vitamin Cottage has a fabulous selection of gluten free products, and is located all over Colorado. Then of course there's also the Wild Oats chain, and Whole Foods- even the selection in regular grocery stores has many other parts of America beat.

I am not very useful when it comes to Denver proper, but there is this gluten free bakery in Colorado Springs. I never had the chance to visit, but I'd like to try it someday. Too bad I'm in California now!

Just wanted to add to the other posting from Boulder that there is a wonderful cafe and bakery in Denver called Deby's. It is a little hard to find, but worth the effort. She has fabulous cinnamon rolls. Open Original Shared Link

Whole Foods also has a terrific line of bakery items in their freezer section. There are several restaurant chains now that have gluten-free menus - Outback Steakhouse and PF Chang (recommend the lemon scallops!).

Already said, but Vitamin Cottage has an awesome selection! Better than Whole Foods and Wild Oats combined! I don't eat out, so I can't help you on that end. I used to live in the Chicagoland area and actually have an easier time out here now finding food. Good luck!

I do not know how Denver would compare to Chicago. I have heard great things about the Chicago area. However, we do have Vitamin Cottage, Wild Oats and Whole Foods. I do not live in Denver (live an hour north) but have gone to Deby's. I felt like I was going to mecca! It was great eating there. Hope you have a great trip!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background. When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning. When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
