Gluten free in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge Tennessee


Corrie

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I will be traveling to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in a few weeks and am looking for gluten free friendly places to eat. I can find the chain restaurants on my own but am hoping for recommendations for any smaller independent type places. Thanks!

It has been several years since I was there but I ate successfully at:
 

The Pottery House Café and Grille, I believe I only had a salad here though.

The Old Mill

Calhouns

and the Alamo

We cooked in several nights due to a Rod Run being in town and traffic being insane and had one night where I got glutened at Johnny Carino's.

we were just there in january (stayed in pigeon forge) and there are 2 mellow mushrooms in pf, one in gatlinburg.  ate at both in pf and was safe (one on the island and one on the parkway <the one on the parkway had a bigger menu) margaritaville on the island was delicious and safe (the manager even came out to our table and asked if there were any other dietary issues the kitchen should be concerned with) and we also ate at hurricane harrys on the parkway <also delicious and safe) 

i know these are sort of chain restaurants, but we were on a schedule, so, no time to explore off the beaten path.  there was a candy store in gatlinburg on the strip that had gluten-free candy (caramel!  yum!) and i bought some yummy mustards from a place called 'all sauced up' lolz  look on find me gluten free app - there were a few places i wanted to try/had good reviews, but were not open or we weren't able to fit them into our schedule when they were open.  one was the pigeon forge deli, the other was crystelle creek (gatlinburg).   if you try any of those, please let us know how they were!  i had a good, safe visit. 

welcome to tennesee :)

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      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.
