Where can I go for great seafood in Vegas? I've heard good things about the seafood buffet at the Rio, but is it safe to eat there? Any other ideas?

You might contact Broncobux as he lives in Las Vegas and goes out to eat frequently. We are also going to be in Vegas this coming weekend. We are staying at the Mirage.

Buffets are a tough sell for me...

I normally do not eat at the Buffets due to Cross-Contamination.

However, I have eaten at the Rio's seafood buffet. You can do it, just be particular on your food.

At the Rio, I just ate the raw stuff, the steamed stuff (crabs, shrimp cocktail, etc) and salad.

Don't eat the "hot items" with all of the other buffet items -- people mix and match the spoons and ladels too much.

Other restaurant that are gluten friendly (in my experience)

1. Samba at the Mirage (chef understands celiac -- Brazilian BBQ)

2. Stack at Mirage (same thing)

3. Carnegie Deli at the Mirage (get a reuben no bread -- bring your own)

4. PF changs in Aladdin

5. Cafe Ba Ba Reeba in Fashion show Mall (great Paella -- ask for a manager)

6. Maggiano's at Fashion Show Mall ( gluten-free pasta - ask for a chef for selections -- you can do the mussels appetizer - salad with no croutons and dressing on the side, Chicken Vesuvious, etc)

7. Hugo Cellars in 4 Queens Casino (Best Restaurant in Vegas in my opinion) -- Dressy place, in old Vegas, but their Filet and Lobster tail is the best!!!

I will be perfectly happy if I can just gorge myself on crab legs. So you think that those are ok at the Rio? Is the butter safe do you think? I've never been there, but husb has and he really liked it. I want to go somewhere that we can both enjoy.

Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio has a cold shell fish appertizer that is awesome. Crab legs, mussles, shrimp, oysters. etc. It was very pricey but worth it.

Also, should be gluten-free since it is just fish - right?? I ate there prior to my Dx.

I have to second the Prime Steakhouse for the seafood tower. It will feed two and is a meal in itself. And yes, it is pricey, but totally awesome. I also ate there before Celiac. I would call them and ask, but I don't see how it could have gluten in it. The only concern I have is the sauce, but you could bring your own.

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Vaccines

      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5...

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.
