Places To Eat In Atlanta...

My oldest is going to Celiac camp next month - she's so excited to not have to think about food for a whole week!!

 

I will be driving her to Atlanta and dropping her off the next day.  It's a ten hour drive (no stops) so I'll pack food for the car - we can wing it.  My husband and I will drive out again to pick her up on a Friday and spend that night and all day Saturday in Atlanta then drive home on Sunday.  So, several meals worth of time.

 

Anybody from the area (or traveled there) and can give me some decent places to eat that are safe for my girl?  I'm not sure which area of town we will stay so many options would be great!

 

Thanks!

Fox Brothers BBQ is downtown and they offer gluten free (no gluten in their sauce). We have eaten there safely and it is really good. Lots of people there. My brother goes there all the way from the suburbs. Fishhook Grille (very casual) is gluten-free friendly. Nothing on the grille ever has gluten. Stoney River is gluten-free friendly, but pricey. Of course there are all the chains like PF Chang's, Outback, etc. I will try to think of more! I reside on the West Coast, but have family in GA.

Thanks!  If you think of anything else please let me know!

 

We used to always have a rule that we wouldn't eat at chains while traveling - always preferred the "mom and pop" places.  Yeah, that's out the door now that the kids' diets are restricted!

Same with us! Now we are just happy to find a place that will not gluten us!

Thank you so much - we *loved* Fox's BBQ!  We are living in the midwest so we eat way too much BBQ, but I'd never had smoked corned beef.  So good!

 

We also tried Legal Seafood (eaten there before going gluten-free) and it was painful.  Their frier was down so they were pan frying.  Not a problem until they tried to pan fry my food twice - burning it both times - before coming to tell me that they couldn't do it.  The issue was that my 8 y/o was there and starving because we sat for an hour before they came to tell me this.  So disappointing!

 

We also tried Your Pie.  A chain in the area.  SO GOOD!  Seriously, the best pizza we've had in a year.

DaVinci's Pizza has several gluten-free items great gluten-free pizza (well done suggested) and they don't have anything with gluten that goes in the fryer, so wing and fries are great all salad dressing made in house and gluten-free. 

Owners mom has Celiac so they're very empathetic. Cheers. And enjoy. I eat there all the time and have NEVER had an issue. And if someone just touches bread then prepares my food its all over for me 6-8 hrs of reaction for me. Also Jimmy Johns @ 17th and Peachtree Street also great just tellm'to change glove and ask for the paper to be placed on the sandwich board before they make it. Also never had an issue but I have only had the Italian style lettuce wrap.

If you want to drive, try Good Grubs Subs in Alpharetta.   They have a celiac in the family and are all set up for celiacs.  They have over 50 reviews and are 100% approved by celiacs on Find Me Gluten Free.     It's just sandwiches, but so nice to order and NEVER worry!  Thanks for the other recommendations.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
