If anyone has any good places to eat, shop in Colorado my partner is travelling from Seattle to Denver soon and will need to shop for and sometimes eat out in Gluten free places. If there are any good places in Colorado that are good especially Fort Collins, Boise Idaho , Idaho Falls, Cheyenne Wyoming - this is his route we would really appreciate any reccommendations. Thanks :D

The usual major chains are good: Outback, Carrabbas, Red Robin and PF Changs.

My girlfriend lives just outside Denver so we have been doing some research and have found, in Denver:

Masaala - a vegetarian indian restaurant, large gluten-free menu

Californian Cafe - Park Meadows Mall, just off I-25 and County Line Road

Also Rumbi Grill can be gluten-free so long as you as for non-marinated meats and no salad dressings. Their salsa is gluten-free too.

LoLa and Rodizio Grill (which is in Downtown Denver) will give assistance to help customers select gluten-free options.

Hope this helps a bit.

If he is doing any food shopping then Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage is good. All their gluten-free food has a purple label on the shelf by the tag to make it easy and their staff are well informed.

Sri Thai in Fort Collins is a Thai restaurant that had a gluten-free menu available when I visited there six years ago. That is where I learned that oyster sauce, as well as soy sauce, needs to be avoided. (Their gluten-free menu clearly indicates that the entrees with oyster sauce are NOT gluten-free.) I enjoyed my meals there very much.

950 South Taft Hill Road

Fort Collins, Co 80521

Phone: (970) 482-5115

I visited the Denver area last year and will actually be going again in 2 weeks. I found an Italian restaurant, Abruscis, that was awesome! They actually serve pizzas, pasta dishes, subs, fried calamari (basically, all the bad-yet-oh-so-good Italian foods we can never eat!) It's located outside of the city in (go figure) Wheat Ridge. I don't know the proximity to the places you listed but I would definitely recommend this place!

Open Original Shared Link

I'm thinking I'll probably try this place: Open Original Shared Link for my upcoming trip!

The area is very gluten-free friendly and pretty much every restaurant is aware and accomodating. :-)

Thank you for the suggestions! As the car wouldn't start etc. he is now flying to Denver and staying in Fort Collins for a major part of the trip. Now he has some places to take Dad to dinner in Denver! Any other Fort Collins places that are good would be great if there is anyone out there who has any more suggestions.

Thanks so much!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      Inovera offers a supplement called Forvia that they claim is formulated for better absorption for those with GI issues including Celiacs Disease.    I would love to hear if anyone has tried it and thinks it might be good.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.
