We are going to Colorado Springs, Colorado for a few days. Leaving on Thursday, I can't wait. Need some safe places for hubby to eat while we are there. Anyone have suggestions. I know there was a post about this location before, but it was from 2007 so looking for more current info. Thanks.

My husband and I were down that way in April. We stayed in Manitou Springs itself, which is only about 10-15 minutes away from the Springs. In Manitou Springs, the Coquette Creperie has the best crepes--amazing for breakfast, although they do have lunch and dinner selections. We ate at the Craftwood Inn for dinner, it was a pricer place, but as it was our first vacation in years, and my first gluten-free vacation, it was worthy of a celebration. One of the owners has Celiac, and so the kitchen is well trained. And, it was DELICIOUS!!!

Also, Colorado Springs has one of the best bakeries for gluten free breads, Outside the Breadbox. I totally recommend a visit there, even if you will only be there for two days. So worth it. Yummy cookies! The Imagine Hamburger Rolls are great for storing in the car or hotel room along with sandwich meat and cheese for safe meals. Have fun, eat well!

There is also Chick-Fil-A. They are great about gluten free options. They are the only place I know of with both gluten free fries AND a dedicated fryer. I ate there today, as I happen to be visiting Colorado Springs right now! Also P.F. Changs is a Chinese restaurant with a gluten free menu. I find them to be very good about safety. There is one pizza place here too that I know of, it's called Boriello Bros I believe. I'm not sure about it, but we might try it this week. Chipotle is another great place. The only thing they have with gluten is their flour tortillas. I like to get a bowl with meat, rice, beans, salsa and cheese! Hope you have a great trip.

In some of my research I saw the Craftwood Inn. Would love to go there but I know it is not in our budget for this trip. There will be six of us - Hubby and I and our 4 kids. Sure wish we could though. I also found the bakery online. We will definately be going there. I was so excited to find it. I am guessing we will bring home hamburger buns for the freezer as we have not found any locally that hubby likes and he so misses a real hamburger.

I didn't know that about Chick-Fil-A. How do you order at Chick-Fil-A?

He would love to go to a pizza place and everyone would be happy. Going to have to do that.

I think we will be staying a night or two in Pueblo. They have an Applebee's and they have a statement on the Applebee's website. Here is the link Open Original Shared Link

Would you eat there based on this? Hubby does not seem to have a big problem with cross contamination as so many here do.

just a word of caution. my mom always gets sick at the pf changs in colo springs. just be careful if you choose to go there. i have had great luck at the one in fort collins (so not worth the drive:) i had a great experience at the briarhurst manor in manatou springs. very nice meal! have a great time!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
