Colleen,  here I sit  in Pittsburgh, Pa  thinking  not much here to offer a gluten-free  person!.. I do like  the  Raisin Rack in Canton..... & Columbus  has a big Whole Foods not  that  WF has  a lot  of  gluten-free....We also like  Jungle Jim's  in Cinnci....

Do you know  of any  extra tasty  gluten-free  restaurants  in  Columbus? Don't  know  if  you live  in that area....

I really don't know of any.  I only head to Columbus for Dr. Appts. at OSU.  I'm an hour north.  On facebook, look up the Gluten Free Gang (GIG) Ohio.  These peeps know everything gluten-free in Columbus and Surrounding areas.  I'm in a relatively small town that has nothing gluten-free to offer outside of the grocery stores which I'm ok with because I dread leaving the house...lol.  You can find me on FaceBook also, I'm a member of "The Gang".

Hi Colleen  I'm not on fb...  I  do have  the places  "the gang"  suggests  just  thought  you may  know  of  newer  ones....I don't  sit  in a big  gluten-free  mecca  area either.... so  while  I'm in a  big  city  I  buy  lots of things  I  can't  find  else  where...

We  don't  have  stores  like  Anderson's  , Jungle  Jim's, meyer's  so  it is a treat  to  check them  out for  things  other  than  gluten-free  food  ....we have  small Whole Foods  about an hour  away...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine. Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years. Doctor recently said to not stop. My 25(OH)D is around 2...

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respectfully disagree. You cherry picked a small section from the page. I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on ...

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
