What are some good options for gluten free eating in Houston, TX?  I had my first dining out experience since diagnosis, at Outback.  It was a good experience! Just curious as to others? Thanks :)

I don't live close enough to Houston to know which restaurants are good, but I know they have an active gluten intolerance group, and there is this awesome place there called Gluten Free Nation.  Open Original Shared Link  They are a dedicated bakery that also sells tons of gluten-free stuff in their store, they sell their products in HEB's and I have yet to try something bad.  I shop at HEB primarily here and I like their pie crusts.  Also, if you haven't checked out HEB's gluten-free selection, they have a good number of private label gluten-free mixes, brown gluten-free shelf tags that are easy to see, and any HEB brand item that is gluten-free will usually have the brown gluten-free logo on it.  In the meat section where they have precooked entrees, they have a handful of those that are gluten-free, it is really nice for when you aren't able to cook.

I'd recommend Fuddrucker, Pei Wei, Ruggles Green, Spaghetti Warehouse downtown, Katz Deli (New menu), El Tiempo Cantina, Glazed the Donut Cafe and Johnny Carinos to name a few.

Nearly forgot Russos New York Pizzaria and most of the Landrys branded restaurants have a separate menu or will accommodate (Saltgrass has a good menu). Hate to be a troll but I don't care for gluten-free Nation's products. A few stores carries Sami's breads and products but I think they are shipped in from FL. They have a better bread than even Udis.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Thank you for mentioning that.  My main reaction to gluten seems to be related to the skin and breaking out.  So, I'll definitely take that under consideration when trying to figure out how to better supplement calcium.  I'm trying to use lower oxalate and lower histamine greens like broccoli, baby bok choi, collards and Lacinto kale.  Recently, I've been getting migraine reactions to spinach, possibly from the histamine.  I do use Malabar spinach (not related to spinach) but only a leaf or two in foods and I don't think it has a high calcium content.  I should check into longevity spinach and Moringa again.  Some gardeners in our area grow them.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I tried algae based calcium supplements, but because I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis I broke out with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters.  Do be careful.  Iodine, whether in iodized salt or seaweed or some types of fish, can stimulate dermatitis herpetiformis. I stick to cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale and other green leafy veggies), but I avoid spinach.  Many people have problems with oxalate formation (kidney stones) with spinach and calcium supplements.   Do remember to take Vitamin D and Vitamin C with Calcium.  Talk to your doctor and dietitian about supplementing with Vitamin A and Vitamin K, and Boron and Magnesium as these vitamins and trace minerals are important to bone formation as well.

      Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified plant milks or juices, canned sardines or salmon with bones, tofu made with calcium sulfate, dark leafy greens like kale and collard greens, and almonds. If you still feel you need a supplement, your research on algae-based calcium is spot-on; it's often praised for its bioavailability and balance with other trace minerals, which may help with proper absorption. While the cost is higher, you might find it's worth it as a targeted solution, potentially taken every other day or a few times a week alongside your dietary efforts, rather than a full daily dose. It's great that you're already so mindful of your nutrient sources with the Brazil nuts and seaweed—this holistic approach is the best way to build a solid nutritional foundation.

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.
