I am 8 months pregnant and celiac. I go to Dr. Anita Levin OB/GYN at Northwestern Hospital. A friend of mine who is pregnant and celiac also goes to her. She is really great. She doesnt "specialize" in celiac or anything, but she is certainly aware of the condition and will help you with medications/birth control, etc that are gluten-free. She listens so...

I assume you work near Northwestern Hospital? there is a corner bakery right there, and on Mondays and Tuesdays, they have the chicken tortilla soup which is gluten-free. Also, there is a deli/salad place downtown called Goodwins. They use boars head meats and their salads are awesome. they deliver. Dont forget about Vinci which has a gluten free menu in...

ARCHIVED Roasted Nuts
hlm34 replied to danikali's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
the one that gets me is the regular flavor of Doritos. All the other flavors are gluten free - but not the original nacho flavor. even "spicy nacho" is gluten-free. Doritos are my one pregnancy craving, so if my husband goes out to get some for me, i have to make sure to tell him several times "NOT the original nacho flavor." Also, i saw that Pringles have... -
ARCHIVED Marcello's Father And Son Pizza - Now Have gluten-free Pizza
hlm34 replied to hlm34's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
went there on Friday and it was good. it was so great to dine-in at a place and order pizza. there is just something about having pizza made for you instead of making it yourself. It was all goey, and greasy and warm and good when served at our table. my husband (who is not gluten-free) even liked it. it only comes in the 12 inch size at this point, so we... -

So a friend of mine told me that Marcello's Father and Son pizzaria is now offering a gluten-free pizza. I called the Logan Square location near my house and its true! they have it! apparently they worked with the U of C Celiac foundation for taste testing and making sure the right procedures were followed. She says its really good. I am going to go there... -
ARCHIVED Swirlz Cupcakes In Chicago - Incredible
hlm34 replied to sloant's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I actually tried the gluten-free cupcakes at Swirlz last summer. They were horrible - i ended up throwing them away. However, i just had one again (someone at work got me one) it was the grasshopper and it was delicious. I also tried another chocolate flavor which was great. i think they must have changed their recipe or something since last summer because... -
i voted. it was easy. man i would love to have a muffin with my coffee again!!

ARCHIVED Good Chicago Restaurant Adding gluten-free Menu
hlm34 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
A co-worker of mine was just on the site for Mia Francesca's which is a really good, really cute Italian restaurant in the Wrigleyville area. On the site they say they are introducing gluten free pastas. I tried to click on the link but the link was broken, so thats all the info i have. I used to live in that area and go to that restaurant all the time before... -
I was just visiting austin a few weeks ago. Went to Chuy's and was sad that their queso was not gluten-free. I went to several restaurants that had gluten-free queso. We also ate at Z Tejas which has a gluten free menu.

ARCHIVED Mention Of Celiac In "women's Health" - Calls The Disease "trendy"
hlm34 posted a topic in Publications & Publicity
my sister was reading "women's health" magazine (the sister mag to the popular "men's health") and came across "the best, the worst, and the spectacularly odd" stories of 2007. here's the piece on page 146 that made me so angry (copied word for word, including bolding the parts that the article bolded): "The Gluten Glut: Suddenly, the stuff is everywhere... -
Vinci - great gluten-free italian food Ben Pao - upscale chinese with gluten-free menu PF Changs - upscale chinese with gluten-free menu Webber Grill - huge gluten-free menu Bistro 110 is a nice restaurant. The chef has a son with a peanut allergy so she is super careful with celiacs. Carnivale is fun - no gluten-free menu - but they are always able...

ARCHIVED Podcast On Celiac Disease And Possible Pill
hlm34 posted a topic in Publications & Publicity
Here is a link that will take you to a podcast section. Dr. Fasano is interviewed and although he has an accent that can be confusing, and its pretty scientific stuff, it is really very interesting. He is the leader of the study being done at the University of Maryland that is developing a pill for Celiac. He talks about what makes Celiac a unique auto-immune... -
I had my first and only seizure over 2 years ago at age 27. It was a grand mal. I went to one of the best neurologists in the country and they could find no reason for the seizure. 2 months later, i was diagnosed with celiac. My doctor swears that the seizure was not caused by celiac. He claims that if it was caused by celiac there would be some evidence...

you gotta try Steubens in Denver. they have a gluten-free menu. so good. -
i was traveling and had a stop in Denver. I ate at a place called Steubens. It had a dedicated gluten-free menu. It is a very cute place with a nice outdoor patio too. Food was excellent - it was comfort food and sooooo good. i highly recommend. Their sister restaurant is called Vesta Dipping Grill. Its apparently a little nicer and pricier, but also has...

Vinci, PF Changs, Ben Pao, Weber Grill, Adobo Grill and Wildfire all have gluten free menus. Ruths Chris is very good about gluten-free (they are in the process of making a gluten-free menu). Carnivale doesnt have a dedicated menu, but they are very good about making things gluten-free. Bistro 110 is also good about it. all sorts of good places to try...

i used this and didnt seem to have any problems. -
when a friend had their superbowl party catered by portillos, i called about the italian beef and was told it was gluten-free. I made sure though, that i got a big plate of it before everyone else got to it and used the tongs to put it on a roll, and then dip the tongs back in the beef. I didnt want it to get contaminated. I had no problems and it was sooo...
