There is a brave man, known as "gluten guy" to the students at FSU's School of Hospitality Management. I would like to thank you for all that you have done to educate the resturants about gluten-free through your bravery. I bet you are a big part of the reason why chain resturants are offering gluten-free menus. If you are out there, Thank You.

I too am in need of 'the gluten guy of Tallahassee's' help. I've never heard of him before reading this post but my Mother is getting tested for Celiac next week and if she has it, I need to point her in the direction of help down in FL. If no one knows 'the gluten guy' from Tall., do any of you know if there is a support group for Celiacs there? Or even in Panama City, FL?

Hey floridanative, I am in Destin, FL. I've been hoping there would be anyone close to me posting but there hasn't yet. I know there are celiacs right around me by the new availability and sale of gluten-free products at the supermarkets and a the healthfood stores here. I don't know of glutenguy, but my son (not celiac) will be starting school at FSU soon so I'll be there a lot. Is there a group there? Hey, and I am a FL native too!!

Hi KG - as far as I know there still is not a group in Tall. The woman who ran one previously apparently moved. Very few people in town are dx'd with Celiac as far as we can tell. We rarely eat out when in Tall. but if we do, we go to Bonefish or Carrabas which at least offer decent gluten-free menus. Sorry not t be of more help but since you're in Destin, do you know of any places to eat in Orange Beach, FL? We're going down for a few days before heading to New Orleans, and we're hoping not to cook every dinner in the condo while at the beach.

Where do you shop for gluten-free food? Do regular grocery stores (Albertson's and Publix) have gluten-free food? I've been spoiled with Whole Foods....

I am also a celaic in Tallahassee.I am 56 years old. I have found no group meeting in Tallahassee, but might be interested in helping one get started.

After fighting for almost 25 years and in failing health [before the dx if celiac], I was finally fired from state work about a year ago.I was a Professional Geologist. I would love to hear from other Celiacs in this area.

Eating out in Tally:

* La Fiesta (on Appalachee Parkway) is safe for those with only Celiac. Stick to the corn stuff (chips, tortillas, etc). Ask if anything is breaded before you order it, they're up front with you. Tell them you're allergic to wheat, and that nothing you are served must have touched anything wheat. I've never had any problems there, and they do Happy Hour almost every night of the week, so even if you just want to go for drinks and chips/salsa, it's a great place to go.

That's the only non-chain restaurant I've been willing to try, but if you're looking for some GREAT Mexican food, it's the place to go. :)

WOW! Did not see that coming when I started to post on here. I was going to ask if you all were still meeting in Tallahassee. That is awful. I just happened across Rock Hammer's posts on the web and was thrilled to see someone trying to get a group together. I'm sorry for your loss to all who knew him.

If there is still going to be a group, I am interested in meeting with you all.

My regards,

Yes, I think there's still interest. It may be hard to rustle up people during the summer, but I know of at least 5 Celiac students at FSU, so maybe we should plan a date once the students come back to town?

And if anyone just wants to get together for dinner one night this summer, PLEASE contact me! (I'm dying for some Outback...)

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By RMJ · Posted

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana

      The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer

      By Lori Lavell · Posted

      Julia530 - I have the same gene structure and most of the symptoms you have experienced plus more.....I agree with you whole heartedly!! There are approximately 10 (NOT TWO) genes that can predispose a person to having Celiac Disease. I read in Pub Med that HLA DQA1:05  can result in Celiac Disease in approximately 1 in 875 people. While it is obviously more rare it is NOT BENIGN and should not go unnoticed. Go get the book "NO GRAIN, NO PAIN" and I highly suggest you read it cover to cover. It is written by a Chiropractor who quit his medical education when the VA wouldn't allow him to treat the Veterans with debilitating arthritis with a grain free diet. I have been grain free for over 10 years now.....the facts are we are being lied to! There is a form or gluten in every protein in every grain on the planet of which there are 1000 or more. Just because all they are testing for is the Gliadin in wheat is no excuse to report only partial facts.
