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

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!

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
