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.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
