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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
