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!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
