Gluten-Free Restaurants in Little Rock

I do not certify any of these places except for Dempsey Bakery as free of cross-contamination. 

Dempsey Bakery (http://www.dempseybakery.com)
Everything here is GF. They also offer egg-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free. 

The Sifted Flour Bakery (http://thesiftedflourbakery.com)
Offers GF and sugar free options as well as standard options

P.F. Chang's (http://www.pfchangs.com)
Offers a GF menu including GF soy sauce. 

Mimi's Cafe (http://www.mimiscafe.com)
Has a menu that says what items on its menu are GF. Not GF, but if you tell them it's your first time there, they'll send you home with 2 free muffins. 

The Main Cheese (http://www.themaincheese.com)
Offers gluten free bread as an alternative

Big Orange Midtown & West (http://bigorangeburger.com)
Offers buns that are GF from Dempsey Bakery

Larry's Pizza (http://larryspizzaofarkansas.com)
May vary by location but the Bryant and Cantrell locations offer a gluten-free crust. 

Izzy's (http://www.izzyslittlerock.com)
Offers a sizeable GF menu as well as vegan options. They try their best to avoid cross-contamination but can't guarantee it. 

Gigi's Cupcakes (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com)
Offers 3 GF flavors, definitely available on Fridays, but some locations have opted to do them every day. Some have also opted to have more GF flavors. They are cooked and housed in the same area as the gluten cupcakes, however.

Gluten free and dairy limited

Well, largely. I did give in and have cookie dough in my frozen yogurt on Friday. But other than that, we've been gluten free since Feb 13. It's not easy. I love bread. But I've had stomach issues my whole life (lactose intolerance and diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome since around age 11), and she's been having bad painful gas that has been known to wake her up screaming. So for the sake of both of us, we're trying this whole GF thing. 

For the record, Vanilla Chex and Puffins Honey Rice cereals are really good. 

It seems to have helped my stomach at least a bit and my trial run on Saoirse was somewhat thwarted by a minor virus that due to a slightly stuffy nose increased her bubbles. That was a rough couple of nights. 

I found this recipe for GF tortillas on Pinterest (it is on my dairy and/or gluten free board) which turned out amazingly good. Link: http://www.yammiesglutenfreedom.com/2013/04/gluten-free-flour-tortillas.html?m=1

They were awesome and pretty much just like gluten tortillas. So yummy. I should make some more. 

I plan on trying these later this evening. Link: http://food52.com/recipes/24791-gluten-free-dinner-rolls
God, I want some bread. I'm going to have to somehow figure out how to substitute xantham gum for psyllium husk  and some other thing for arrowroot flour, as I couldn't find either at Whole Foods.
