Going To Pheonix - Restaurant Suggestions?

Hi!

My family rented a house for a week in the Queen's Creek area (Pheonix) and I am looking for some good restaurant suggestions please. I already know that Sprouts is great for gluten-free and so is Whole Foods, but what lunch meat and hot dogs are safe to eat in the U.S? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

:D Paula

Boar's Head meat it gluten free. It is sold at Fry's and Bashas grocery stores.

If you can make it to Tempe you should check out Picazzo's. They have a HUGE gluten free menu, everything from pizza, to pasta, to bread. They serve gluten free bread with appetizers if you order the gluten free version of the app. They don't even make regular pasta, all of their pasta dishes are served with quinoa pasta. It's my favorite restaurant.

Barro's Pizza is a large local chain that does gluten free pizza. There are 2 in Queen Creek.

Uncle Bear's Grill and Bar is in Queen Creek. They have a gluten free menu including hamburger buns and pizzas.

There are quite a few more restaurants but then you're getting awfully far from QC area. There are the regular chains that cater to gluten free too. PF Changs, Red Robin, Outback, Carrabba's, Old Spaghetti Factory, Olive Garden (though I'm not impressed with their gluten-free options), Chipotle, Pei Wei.

As far as hot dog brands I think most are gluten free. I haven't found any that contain gluten. I know for sure Hebrew National, Ball Park and Oscar Mayer are gluten-free (though not positive about the cheese filled Oscar Mayer). The Jennie-O turkey dogs are gluten-free too.

Thanks so much! Do you know of any good Barbeque places too?

Thanks so much! Do you know of any good Barbeque places too?

Joe's Real Barbeque in Gilbert is my favorite. Joe actually owns 3 restaurants and they are all great. Joe's Real Barbeque, Joe's Farm Grill, and Liberty Market. All 3 have allergen listings or gluten free menus. They aren't huge menus with bread substitutes, but they do tell you how to order safely. At the barbeque place you can eat all the meats, just not on bread obviously, and most of the sides except mac and cheese and the cheesy potatoes.

I don't know the Queen Creek area that well, but there is a gluten free store in Gilbert. It's called the Gluten Free Country Store. They also carry gluten-free baked goods from local gluten-free bakers. My favorite baked goods are by Julia - good cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. Their website is gfcountrystore.com if you want to check them out before driving over.

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
