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 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.

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part....

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.
