Anyone know of some places where you can get safe gluten-free food in the downtown St. Louis area and near Six Flags?

In downtown St. Louis, there is a place called Rooster's that specializes in crepes, and you can order any of them with a gluten-free shell. They are really good. :) The website is here --> Open Original Shared Link

Thank you! I'm finding it very hard to find places for us eat. :(

Google " gluten free St Louis". I live in KC but I know there are places. I assume you have a car. I know they have bakeries . You may want to pack a cooler for lunches and get a hotel with a kitchen like Townes Suites or Homestead Suites.

There is a St. Louis area support group for eating gluten-free on Yahoo.com called stlouisalerts. They have a pretty extensive restaurant list, or you can join (just need a free yahoo account) and you can post a question. I'm not from St. Louis, so sometimes when they talk about a restaurant and give the address, I don't know what area it's in.

There are some options... not as much downtown, but in areas near.

Pi pizzeria makes superb gluten-free pizza, they have a location in the Central West End (off of Kingshighway) and on Delmar in the University City Loop.

The closest bakery is kind of far, but you can find gluten-free Udi's bread and other stuff at Schnucks. Dierbergs has a larger selection. The grocery stores around town are pretty good at catering to gluten-free customers.

I've eaten at PF Changs in Brentwood and at Outback Steakhouse in South County with no issues. The people at Outback are really used to seeing me around... BF and I go there a ton.

I've heard news stories that Aramark is having a gluten-free booth at Busch Stadium, so it might be good to look up info. I know I can easily get Redbridge at Cards and Blues games.

The Pasta House Company has a gluten-free menu, but you have to call ahead to make sure they get your pasta prepared.

As far as other options, I know there are a few restaurants in West Saint Louis County, but that's a bit of a haul from downtown, unfortunately. There's a pancake house and a pasta place I know of in West County. I think the pancake place is The Original Pancake House and the spaghetti place is The Old Spaghetti Factory. Andrea's Gluten-Free bakery is also out there. Like I said, it is a haul, so if you don't have a car it's not a great option. It's a good 20-30 minutes from my house in south city and I'm not even downtown.

Hope that helps a bit!

      A typical CYA response--since they don't label it that way they don't test for gluten, thus can't guarantee it's gluten-free, even though no gluten ingredients are used in the product.

      I understand your immense frustration after 17 years of excellent management; it's incredibly disorienting to have your numbers spike without a clear cause or physical symptoms. Given your thorough investigation, the Crunchmaster crackers are a very plausible culprit, despite their certification. Certification ensures gluten is below 20ppm, but if you are consuming them daily, even that tiny amount could theoretically accumulate over time to cause an immune response (elevated IgG) without triggering your acute symptomatic response (which is often IgA-mediated). Since your son, the perfect control subject, doesn't eat them, this is an excellent hypothesis to test. I would recommend a strict elimination trial: remove the crackers completely for 4-6 weeks and then re-test your IgG levels. If the numbers drop significantly, you have your answer. Other less obvious sources to consider if the crackers aren't to blame include any other new packaged goods (spices, nuts, chocolate, supplements), a change in the recipe of a trusted product, or even lipstick or toothpaste. Your methodical approach is exactly what will solve this mystery.

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.
