Salt Lake Restaurants - The Good And The Bad

Let's talk about restaurants in Salt Lake area, both celiac friendly and unfriendly...

THE GOOD:

Rodizio's Grill - Excellent service, gluten-free menu available. Manager even approched me and told me that I can't have pork (it was on gluten-free menu) because they added an ingridient that had gluten in it. Food was delicious - carnivore's heaven. Google Rodizios for more info, they are online.

Mazza - Middle Eastern Restaurant (15th S, 15th E). gluten-free menu available. Tasty food. Aware staff. Strongly recommend this little restaurant. (They are moving to 9th S and 9th E location - not sure when). Google them, they are online.

THE BAD:

Bombay House in Salt Lake was the worst last week. Before going there, my date ("restaurant industry insider") made a phone call and talked to the manager about gluten. We were told that the majority of the food is gluten free and that we should not worry. When we got there, the waiter was rude, didn't answer my question and didn't seem to care at all. Finally, I spoke with someone else. The other person, not sure what his title is, was just as unresponsive. In the end, I ordered chicken curry and hoped that I don't get glutened. I'm not going again. This experience was not pleasent to say the least.

I've heard good things about Rodizio's :D yet to try it though. Another great place, don't know if they have it up in SLC (I'm down in Orem) is Carrabba's italian food, so good, so friendly and they even have a gluten-free menu! Also, if you have the chance to hit up Los Hermanos in Provo or AF, do, cuz they're awesome! My husband's friend works there and informed me that the steak fajitas are gluten-free. Those are my fave! Great drinks, chips and salsa too!

Don't forget Biaggi's in downtown SLC. My wife and I were visiting SLC, and the staff and gluten free options were great.

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
