This is a summary of wanting to know if there were any Gluten Free Restaurants in Des Moines, Iowa.

Thank you to all who responded.  Our plans got changed and we were only in Des Moines over night.  

I had eight people recommend Noah's Ark in West Des Moines.  Una the manager there is Celiac.  She makes her own gluten free pizza crust and also has gluten free pastas, salad dressings, and on some weekends she has gluten free desserts.  This is were we ate.  You need to call at least 24 hours ahead to order a gluten free pizza.   It was very good, and Una was very helpful and came out to introduce herself.
