Travelling To Knoxville

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. :)

Thank you both for your help. We leave on March 22nd and the anticipation (and worry) is really starting to build. We love to travel so this will be our first real test.

I LOVE Knoxille !!!

Can I go, to ????

Please ??????????

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!

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.

      yes it was very notable during the pre diagnosis of coeliacs in fact it was all the time.
