Thank you to all that responded from my orignal posting.  I do apologize 
for the delay in summary, but I wanted to make sure it was here!  For 
those that asked, we are currently in NJ...even if we don't end up moving, 
I know we will visit a lot!  This definitely helps us.  :)

GF menus:
Bonefish Grill (southside)
Carrabas (south side)
Chili's (person had never been to Short Pump location)
Flemings Steakhouse (Stoney Point Fashion Park-fun shopping, also!.  They 
have a one page addition to the menu with gf notes about what we can and 
cannot have.  They have an awesome wine selection too.)
Outback (Broad Street)
PF Changs (Stony Point Fashion Park.  Crowded on weekends. Has a gf menu.  
Good food!)
Red Robin has gf items (Short Pump Mall--but haven't eaten there)
Tara Thai (Short Pump Mall--upstairs)
Thai Diner Too (Cary Street)


Other restaurants:

House of Viet Nam (Short Pump Crossing)
While I usually get the chicken or shrimp curry made which doesn't contain 
any soy sauce, they have made other dishes and left the soy sauce.  I've 
been going there for years and have never had a problem since I knew not 
to eat the wheat noodles and soy sauce. 

The Curry House in Innsbrook is great if you like Indian food.  In fact 
most Indian restaurants offer good selections because they rarely use 
wheat flour with the exception of the breads and some battered dishes.  
When I showed my Triumph Indian dining card, it reduced my choices from 
what I had previously assumed were safe - I suppose that's a good thing 
but I was not to

Buffalo Wild Wings and Wings To Go:  The mild, medium and hot are all safe 
toppings for your wings. 

The Tobacco Factory downtown will work with you, but try to go at off 
times.

Acacia in Carytown.  They do not have a special gf menu, but I have never 
had a problem there.  A few years ago, one of the servers told me that 
they have some regulars with celiac. 

Chipolte's in the Short Pump Mall parking lot 
Nordstrom Cafe (Short Pump Mall)
Cheesecake Factory (Short Pump Mall)
Thunderbird (Short Pump Mall)
Maggiano's (Short Pump Mall---is iffy - have eaten there successfully 
within the last 6 months.)

Five Guys--Our new favorite place to eat.  Their french fries are gf - 
they are the only thing they fry there, so no chance of contamination with 
breaded products. The burgers are 100% beef - just ask for no bun.  It's 
in the shopping center at the southeast corner of Cox and Broad (same 
shopping center as HagenDaz).

Casa Grande (a local Mexican chain)- there is one in Short Pump (Pump 
Road) near the Ukrop's. Tacos and chips are gf - just ask for no cheese to 
make it cf too.

At Innsbrook, there is Mexico restaurant.  I eat successfully there, 
ordering fajitas with corn tortillas or tacos. 

Most of the Mexican places seem to be ok, substituting corn tortillas 
though I've heard that it's quite common for them to use soy sauce in 
their marinades too. 

Grocery/Health Food Stores:
There's an Indian Grocery store on Broad Street between Gaskins and 
Innsbrook.  The staff/owners are knowledgeable about g.f foods and pointed 
out several heat and eat dishes that were actually marked g.f.  They also 
have very reasonably priced rice flour.

Tan A - is an Asian grocery that is a good source for tapioca or rice 
flour, rice & fun veggies. It's at the corner of Horsepen and W. Broad St.

Good Foods Grocery at Gayton Crossing Shopping Center (corner of Gayton &amp; 
Gaskins in the west end)  has a terrific selection of food.  They work 
very closely with our support group (TWEGIG) and are constantly bringing 
in new products. Good Foods has the best selection of GF, including the 
full line of Kinnikinnick and Tinkyada. A woman at the Good Foods in Stony 
Point has helped a listserve member get whatever she needs.  Another 
member mentioned that the larger store is in the Stony Point Shopping 
Center.

Most of the Kroger and Ukrop's Supermarkets in the West End stock a decent 
selection of products too.  Ukrops has a decent variety of gluten free 
foods and a good listing on their web site.  They have a great salad bar 
with some gf soups and they label items gf. The rotisserie chicken is GF 
as well.  Some Ukrop's have more gf stuff than others.  The one I shop at 
(called Cross Ridge) on Staples Mill Rd is a smaller store but has more gf 
food than other stores.

Ellwood Thompson's Natural Market in the Fan district, just of Cary Street 
(Carytown?) sells cake by the slice - marked wheat free but I'm pretty 
sure it's gluten free, just not made in a totally g.f. environment.  
Elwood Thompson's is at the corner of...Elwood & Thompson.  This is right 
off of I-195 (Cary St exit) so it is easy to get to.

Support Group info:
TWEGIG meetings, usually on the first Thursday of the month but we skip 
July http://www.gigofrichmond.org/


Thank you!
