I know there's a whole foods or two there. (I had to go to Ft. Wayne, but my flight off of my stop in Chicago was cancelled and I had to drive from Chicago, stopping at the Whole Foods on the way, since Ft. Wayne didn't have one. I think there are two or three in the greater city area.)

I live in the Western Suburbs of Chicago and there are alot of places that sell gluten-free food. Trader Joes is my favorite, but there are Fruitful Yield Health Food Stores and Meijers carries a large variety of foods. Where in Chicago are you staying? Maybe I could help you a little better if I knew the location. Let me know.

Linda :)

Places I know of in Chicago with Gluten Free Sections on their menu:

-Wildfire Steakhouse (west on Erie or Superior?)

-Adobo Grill (at North Ave and Wells)- swouthwestern/spanish/mexican

-Vinci (just north of North Ave on Halsted)- Italian (awesome polenta!)

I have had lovely meals (after calling ahead, faxing info) at:

-Prairie (Dearborn and Conress)- 'midwestern' cuisine

-Bistro 110 (on Michigan Ave, across from Water tower place)

I have heard good things about:

-Joes Stone Crab (on Ontario, at Rush?)

Enjoy your trip!

P F. Chang's is another good restaurant in Chicago. I have also been happy with the choices in Thai restaurants. They have rice noodles and you can ask for meat, shrimp marinated in fish sauce instead of soy sauce. There is also a very good Vietnamese restuarant in downtown Chicago - To Pho on Wabash will prepare gluten-free meals. Again, ask them to use fish sauce instead of soy sauce.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
