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've also heard that MAggianos does some gluten-free stuff, but have not yet tried it.

Hi, I live in the suburbs of Chicago and Taylor on Rush Street is well aware of celiac people, we ate there this week and i had the grilled chicken with veggies and mashed potatoes-very good but not a cheap place........city $$$

The other place in Oak Brook IL is Wild Fire, they have a gluten free menu. If you email me I can better answer more places knowing where your going to be staying (the area). In Willow Springs there's a place called Greco's, 2 sisters own it and it's an Italian place they serve gluten free pasta and their sauce is awesome...........they know us personally as we frequently go there..........

Hi there! I was just visiting Chicago a couple weeks ago, staying right downtown for a conference. You should check out Lou Malnati's Pizza... I think it's near Illinois and Wells. Anyway, they will make for you an authentic Chicago-style pizza with no crust! Chicago style pizza is famous for having a solid layer of sausage at the bottom, so they just use that as the bottom instead. Plus the waitstaff was so awesome. Definitely check it out if you're in the mood for pizza but beware, the gluten-free pizza option is a bit pricier than the rest.. I think my medium-sized pizza + glass of wine came to around $28. Good luck!

This is great news as I am headed to Chicago in December. Headed to Naperville, IL (the burbs) in October - anyone know of dining options there? There's a Chipotle, so I'm safe for lunches...

Thank you - I haven't eaten at Ted's since pre-diagnosis, so I am eager to go there again.

      Test result insight

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a lot right now, and it’s good that you’re being proactive about your health given your family history and symptoms. Based on the results you shared, the elevated IgA Gliadin and IgG Gliadin antibody levels could indicate an immune response to gluten, which may suggest celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, your tissue transglutaminase IgG (tTG-IgG) result is within the normal range, and your total IgA level is sufficient, meaning the test was likely accurate. While these results might point towards celiac disease, the diagnosis often requires further interpretation by your doctor, especially in light of your symptoms and family history. Your doctor may recommend an endoscopy with a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, as blood tests alone are not always definitive. In the meantime, you might want to avoid making dietary changes until you discuss the results with your healthcare provider, as going gluten-free before further testing can interfere with an accurate diagnosis. 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. This section covers your two positive results: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide)

      Test result insight

      By disneyfamilyfive · Posted

      Hello, I had celiac tests run a week ago and my doctor still has not viewed my results (I saw them on mychart 4 days ago), hoping to get a little insight.  Background: my grandma had been diagnosed celiac and my dad was recently diagnosed with a form of celiac (rash but no gi symptoms). I have been battling anemia and have some gi symptoms similar to celiac symptoms.  My test results came back as the following: TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGG value 5 Normal <6 U/ml Iga - 287 Normal value: 70 - 400 mg/dL Iga, Gliadin - 119 Normal value: <20 Units Igg, Gliadin -75 Normal value: <20 UNITS Thank you in advance for your thoughts, experience or insight.

      fed up italian

      By Sicilygirl · Posted

      I am looking for words of encouragement because I have just had enough with this celiac diagnosis. I recently got diagnosed in October this year and its been hell let me tell you. Fist of all my doctor did not want to do the test saying that I was not Celiac because I did not have blood in my stool. Really??? I thankfully insisted that he do the blood work test just to make sure., since I was sick while in italy after eating both pasta and pizza and I knew something was wrong. I exhibited all the signs of gluten sensitivity, bloating and bad stomach pain which I never had ever after eating gluten.  After a week of waiting patiently for the test result it showed positive. I was both happy and floored at the same time. It has been an emotional roller coaster. Having to now work hard  to read labels constantly making sure they don't add gluten EVERYWHERE!! buying some comfort expensive gluten free foods to somehow make me feel like I am a normal person again. Hiring a dietician to put me on a diet to get my nutrients needed and to fix my villi that is destroyed. I feel sad, angry, depressed and why me?? is it an italian thing? I do not know. Anyways any feedback would be helpful. I am still extremely tired and have bowel symptoms and brain fog when do these go away?

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      JettaGirl, there are a number of serum antibody tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease. Unfortunately, most physicians will only order one or two. So, a negative on those one or two may or may not add up to seronegative celiac disease since had a "full celiac antibody panel" been ordered you may have thrown some positives. False negatives in the IGA antibody tests can also be caused by low total IGA count. So, a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the single most popular test, the tTG-IGA. Unfortunately, many physicians only order the tTG-IGA. And then there are other tests that are IGG based. A full celiac panel will include both the IGA tests and the IGG tests. Here is a primer:  And here's another article on seronegative celiac disease: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4586545/

      Thank you! It was never explained to me why it didn’t show up in the labs. This makes so much more sense to me now. The endoscopy test was very easy though. I was worried about my first one and have had 2 since. I don’t think I was able to eat after midnight because of anesthesia, the procedure itself took 20 minutes. I did need a driver to get me home after just where I was put under anesthesia for the procedure.
