    Hyde Park has a fairly new restaurant called The Sitdown, which has gluten free items as well as sushi. They have pizza, sandwiches and some pasta dishes which can be gluten-free or not. They also have gluten-free soy sauce for the sushi. The owner is gluten-free and from what I can see, always there. Not very expensive and the food is good. The veggie...

    Visited Phoenix area in March 2008. Used the Triumph Dining Guide. Found most of the restaurants mentioned by contributors, including Havanna Cafe which was great. Have found the quite useful. Think it also mentioned grocery stores. Know I found some cookies, bagels, Mary

    The Triumph Dining Guides are quite helpful. Visited the Phoenix area in March 2008 and only ate at places in the guide. Had some greaaaaat food - pizza and an interesting Cuban restaurant. Would not have known about the places without the guide.

    Your cramps may not be directly gluten related. There is evidence that women with celiac also have endometriosis or fibroid tumors. I had both and didn't realize they were related to celiac and gluten intolerance. Your ob-gyn should be able to tell if either of these is a problem.

    Father & Sons Pizza on North Avenue has a gluten free pizza with a pretty good crust. Carabba's and Outback both have gluten free menus. The Celiac Society of Chicago has a fundraiser with a buffet of foods from various restaurants. The restaurants usually have a gluten-free menu afterwards. Wildfire and Ben Pao have been featured at the fundraisers...

    I was diagnosed in the late 40's - by symptoms. Had the bloated belly and putrid stools...... My parents were told I would outgrow it. No avoidance of gluten - at least from what my mom remembers, instead it was fat to avoid. It seemed that I had outgrown it. No definitive symptoms, though as I grew older I found that I really did not care for beer...

    I have had all of the chicken dishes and have trouble deciding which one to order. They are all good. We can also have the steak - I think it's Steak Florentine? without the grill baste. Did you know that Outback, Carraba's and Bonfish Grill all are connected and allhave =gluten-free menus? I highly recommend Bonefish Grill.

    There is a fabulous bread recipe that has been posted on this site. It is for gluten free flax bread and the recipe can be found at www.recipezaar.com It is so much better than the breads you can buy. I have not tried any of the mixes, however. This bread can also be modified and the recipe is very forgiving. The first time I made it, I didn't have...

    Thanks again for the suggestions. We ate at Franco Bravo on Penn Avenue. The waiter was very responsive. I had a blue fin tune coated in sasame seeds with a honey habenero glaze on top of stir fried veggies. It was one of the best meals I have ever eaten - gluten-free or filled with gluten. I couldn't find out anything about gluten-free pasta though...

    There is also a Chipotle on Michigan Avenue. They don't deliver, but you can fax in your order and not wait in the long lines. I order frequently and have never been sick, but I may not be the most sensitive person. I get the burrito bowl with chicken.

    Your non-celiac friends will definitely like Adobo. My gluten-free son had a 30th birthday party there and his friends raved about the food. The CSA had their annual lunch at Ben Pao this year, so they should have a gluten-free menu now. They select a different restaurant each year and work with the staff. Then after the luncheon, the restaurant usually...

    When I order this pizza it is not cut at all. I have had it about 10 times and have never been sick.

    Will be at a conference in Pittsburgh in June - Looking for recommendations for eating out. Have found the Outback and Ruth's chris locations. We will be at the Hilton on Commonwealth Place.

    The same people who run Vinci also have 2 Mexican-type restaurants - Adobo Grill. One on in Old Town - North & Wells - very close to Second City. The other is at Division and Damen. They make the guacamole right at the table and celieacs can subsitute jicama chips for the tortilla chips. Killer margaritas and a dessert - chocolate tamale!!!! My son...

    I see you are allergic to asparagus. I am too. The skin tests were iffy, but I break out in severe hives within hours or so of eating it? What is your reaction? Have you always been allergis to asparagus? My reaction just started 4 years ago. I had eaten asparagus for more than 50 years without a reaction.

    I have a Master's in Child Devleopment and have worked in the field for over 35 years. Neither my symptoms nor my son's seemed to have manifested themselves when he was 2 or 3. We just had the usual parent-child issues. A lot of it has to do with becoming more independent and the child's having their own ideas instead of just doing what the parent says...

    How do you comment electronically? This was 23 pages and I didn't read all the fine print to find an address.

    My son had season tickets to the White Sox in 2005. He talked to someone in Customer Relations or the Concierge (at a sports arena???) and they gave him a pass to the Skybox restaurant where he could get other things beside brats and burgers. You never know if you don't try.

    Finally made this bread last week after reading about it here. I didn't have flax seed meal, but did have almond meal flour. So I tried that and it was great. Made two loaves at once. - if you're going to bring everything out you might as well double everything. Plus, then I had a loaf for my son who is also gluten-free. I have never really liked bread...

    There was a gluten free specialty store that had dried meal mixes where you just added water and nuked it. Unfortunately they went out of business and I don't remmeber the name. However, I'll bet if you tried some of the gluten-ree manufacturers, you would be able to find them. It's amazing what you can find on the 'net. Bakery on Main has a great...

    I haven't seen the Triumph Dining Cards in German, but they have them in Italian, French and Spanish. Google Triumph Dining and ask - they may have developed one. They are nicely laminated and fit easily in a wallet.

    Did a western caribbean week on RC in March. Bread was available at breakfst too. Just had to tell them my dinner table number - I didn't have it toasted - worried about the cross contamination. Did not have flourless chocolate cake but did have some other gluten free desserts, including creme brule. We did go to the buffets for lunch. The salad bar...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in the late '40's - as a toddler. Severe diarrhea and bloated belly after introduction of cereals to diet - I was breast fed up to that point. Back then the gluten connection was not known and my parents were told I would "grow out of it." It seemed that I did. I never really liked bread that much and my mother didn...

    I use the cards the same way another poster does. I identify several items I think will work and ask the wait staff to check with the cook/manager/chef. I have found the restaurant guide useful. For example, I had avoided Panera's and Smoky Bones since dx because I didn't think I would find anything there. Have eaten in both places without problems. ...

    Aldaco's is great. The local Celiac group has meetings there - Mexican cuisine. I also recommend the Triumph Dining Cards and Triumph Dining book. It has listings for all over the country with menus of safe items from chains like PF changs and Outback. triumphcdning.com - i think
