Hi Everyone,

We are travelling to the Knoxville area at the end of March. During our stay we will be in Bristol (for NASCAR race) perhaps Nashville and may even travel to Charlotte NC. Where are good places to eat? We already have a few places written down like Bonefish Grill & PF Changs but would love to hear some other places to try.

Thanks in advance for your help everyone

I live in Knoxville, TN. PF Changs is great. I don't have alot of things to offer. I do eat at a resteraunt here called McCallister's deli. You can get a very nice baked Potatoe. More like two baked potatoes. I eat there alot and get this. It is pretty plain the way I get it, with butter, sour cream and green onions, but they have awesome sweet tea. Also, I don't eat meat, but a lady told me she gets Samon at a restaurant called, BRAVOS. It is Italian, but she says she really likes it there and goes alot.

That is all I can offer you at this point. There are tons of restaurants, but haven't tried them for gluten-free yet.

In Bristol we have an Outback and a small local health food store that has a few gluten-free items as well as a Kroger that carries some.

Also, in Johnson City there are a couple of locally owned healthfood stores that carry some gluten-free items. Johnson City has an Outback and Carrabba's. I got sick at Carrabba's in Johnson City. I suspect it was cross contamination with the soup. I had eaten there presiously and did OK.

I really would like to go to Knoxville again. We haven't gone in several months but I've eaten at PF Changs. In Knoxville you will find Carrabba's and many Outback's. They also have Bonefish Grill in Knoxville that I've heard is awesome! The last time I checked they had a gluten-free menu online. :)

I'll even bring some Deby's stuff with me, then you won't have to worry about food.

I lived in Knoxville from 1982-1986, when I attended and graduated from UTK.

WHere do you live now? I am just curious, because my husband is a resident at UT med center here in Knoxville and we are trying to decide where we will settle. We really like it here ,but are considering other areas. I would like to plop myself at the beach, but cost of living is higher on the coast.

I live just outside of Knoxville and wish I could give more help...I'm new to all of this myself. As for restaurants, we usually go for Chik-Fil-A, they have several items to choose from. We have many options to buy food. Some of our Krogers and SuperTarget carries gluten free items. Plus, there is EarthFare and Go Nutrition. Hope this is some help and enjoy Knoxville! It is an awesome place to live!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
