Anyone know of any specifically gluten-free restaurants in ATL? I know there is that one in NY city, though I have forgotten the name. I wish that people would take advantage of our market and buying power. I miss eating out :( I refuse to eat at restaurants now - too many bad experiences. But, a dedicated gluten-free restaurant would really ease my mind.

Thanks for the threads, but I was hoping for a restaurant that only makes gluten-free food. That way, no asking for a special chef, no explanations to the waiter. Just go in, and its cool, people know what they need to do .......... But, I do appreciate the heads up.

Hi bobcatgirl-

I live in Atlanta and run a website about the city, and I think we are out of luck when it comes to dedicated gluten-free restaurants here. As you already mentioned, totally gluten-free places in NYC are still rare, and it will probably take Atlanta awhile to catch up.

I write restaurant reviews as part of my freelance writing career, and I have continued to do so even after receiving my fecal test results that confirmed by gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, and severe malabsorption issues. Just yesterday, I attended Harvest Midtown, the sidewalk food/wine festival. Talk about navigating a minefield! It's not easy, but it's worth it to me, as dining out is one of my main forms of entertainment, not to mention, part of my livelihood.

I would love to know the population size of those with celiac disease or other food sensitivities/allergies in metro Atlanta. I'm working on putting together a guide of local gluten-free resources for my website.

Hi Kimjoy, I am in Marietta and belong to a support group here, I can't give you specifics of population of celiacs in ATL but maybe if you contact some of the local support groups, that will give you a better idea.

Thanks nini, in my research I did come across at least a couple of metro Atlanta support groups. I do need to follow up with them.

Most of the places in NY do gluten and gluten-free cooking. I enjoy going there so much because of the gluten-free menus. The only things we have here are the ones in the other threads. I have my Ritters menu somewhere but other than there and PF Changs no where else in Atlanta has a gluten-free menu. If you picked a favourite spot and worked with them then you can have a gluten-free place. Most of those places in NY were started by one individual going in and makeing it happen. Some used the gluten-free restaurant set-up packets to help them learn to be gluten-free.

Thanks for the tips. Wish I had the business know-how and I'd start one myself - likely to go out of business in a year b/c of lack of business, but, hey, at least I would have made my point.

I was thinking (I know, this can be dangerous :P } That those of us in the Metro ATL area should really put our collective resources together and really start contacting as many local restaurants as we can and educating them as to the needs of the gluten free community!

You should bring that up to Markee and at the next meeting people will have to step up and volunteer and it could be good. I don't ever eat out much in Atlanta but I'd like to have places to eat out.

I'll make an attempt to come to the meeting as well. Informing people would be a good thing.....make our lives a little easier, and there's no complaining there.

I just returned from a business trip to Atlanta and had WONDERFUL meals at Rathbuns, Trader Vics and Citiclub. I did alert Rathbuns and Trader Vics that I would be coming, but the Citiclub was totally unaware. In fact, I was their first Celiac and they were very interested and asked for lots of information. I will be returning in April for 10 days and am optimistic that I will have a great time and not be glutened. What a cool city!!! :D

Hi! I am so glad that I am not the only one in Atlanta with celiac disease. I haven't joined a support group because I am too busy!!! I have heard that PF Changs is good, and they do have a gluten-free menu (check their website). There are several Atlanta locations. I also am able to eat at Longhorn's. I haven't had a problem there, just make sure that they don't add croutons to your salad, and I usually just use the olive oil for dressing. I ask them not to season my steak. Otherwise, it's great eating. There is also several gluten-free food stores, that carry prepackaged foods. I just found one on the internet that I plan to shop at next week. It's in Dunwoody- Atlantis Natural foods. Check their website too: atlantisnaturalfoods.com.

Good Luck!

Sonja

Did any of you make it to the gluten-free product tasting at Harry's on Powers Ferry today??? We went and took my hubby and he was really excited to try new stuff... He absolutely loves the Whole Foods Gluten Free Bakehouse line. My daughter was too excited to be able to try anything and everything in the room!

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
