Recently diagnosed as a Celiac --looking for a buddy.

[Noelle126]

I am in Austin but I too have been recently diagnosed and am learning as I go!
I am getting information on the Alamo Celiac support group. That's about all I have right now.

I'm in Austin too. Been gluten-free for 6 months. PM me if you want some restaurant tips, etc.

I just moved from there or I would love to hang out... a few pieces of celiac advice from that area, though

1. go check out wild wood art cafe on bee caves... they are a bakery cafe that makes all sorts of gluten-free goodies... my favorite meal there was their tarragon chicken salad on a gluten-free hamburger bun with a gluten-free cf chocolate ding dong for dessert. they also have brunch with gluten-free french toast (on saturdays, I think) I miss Texas!

2. Check out the central market cooking class schedule... for 45 bucks or so you can go, get recipes and instructions for 3 or so meals to surprise and amaze you friends, and of course, sample every one and meet some cool celiac people... oh, and the knife skills class also is a gluten free menu!

3. if you ever find yourself in Georgetown (where I lived) Wildfire is a restaurant on the square that is pretty celiac friendly and very good. also there is a healthfood store in town there called the Herbery at 2411 williams that carries kinnikinik breads and such (mmm, donuts!).

4. whole foods is pretty good for staples like tinkyada pasta, Bobs red mill cereals and flours, and bake house muffins, and I bought bread about once a week at wild wood, but mail order is great, too... right now I'm loving 123 gluten free brownies and cause you're special cakes. mmm.

happy gluten-free living in Austin!

I live in Austin and have found a few good restuarants! Wild Wood Art Cafe ROCKS! I order all my bread and pizza crust from there. I also found Iron Cactus to be very helpful. THey made sure there was not any gluten even touching my food but they had great AHI tacos with corn tortillas. I also like the new RICE thai and sushi bar. Great selection of gluten-free meals. Its on 2222 and 620. Just opened!

Any other resturants ideas? Please let me know if you found any others!

Thanks,
Lindsay

I live about 1-1/2 hrs away, towards Houston. So not too far away! If any of you have any Celiac daughters, my dd would LOVE to meet her! She is 8 and feels like she is the only Celiac kid in the world!

I am new to Austin area. I've been hit by this celiac deal for about two months now. It is definitely hard to swallow but I am trying to turn the corner on it and see the positive light. It would be nice to meet someone who is going thru same stuff. Feel free to email at nickjc055@aol.com

Well this is an old old old topic but I'm also in Austin. The only other person I know that is gluten-free is an exboyfriend's new girlfriend. Not too keen on shopping trips with her.
