I am from Weatherford & am having same challenge. I go into Ft Worth a lot & have to make the trip count for as much as I can, so I have to eat while there. I can handle it at home but I keep getting glutened when I go out, even though I try to be carefull.

Good Luck,

Deb

Hi! What part of Dallas are you in? There's a restaurant called Laura's Bistro in a market called Delicious-N-Fit, which is in Plano. The WHOLE restaurant is Gluten Free, and they have a GREAT chocolate cake. They also sell glutten free cooking necessities. If you're in the area, it's on the Northeast corner of Alma and Parker.

Hi Lollie,

Three months here. We don't eat out at restaurants often anyway, but lately I've been getting the urge to. I'm guessing it may have to do with completely eliminating fast food, pizza, donuts, etc. and changing my diet so much at home.

Had my first meal out last week and OMG it was good. One of my BC favs, Cowboy Chicken's special enchiladas. They're quite different.

I also recommend the monthly meetings of the Lone Star support group (dfwceliac). Many of those people eat out all the time.

best regards, lm

p.s., oops just realized these are new posts responding to your year old post!

Donna,

Central Market is at I30 and Hulen on the Southwest corner. It's worth the trip to see the store, but they don't have much gluten-free. Healthy Approach in Colleyville has the best selection I know of if you haven't been there, I highly recommend it.

Hi Wendy

I was just asking a coworker the other night about Central Market it is closer to me than Colleyville, I have a tendecy to get lost if I go past DFW, I35 and such. I will make a trip to CM to see it but Whole Foods is pretty good with there gluten-free items.

Thanks

Hi there, the monthly meeting are with the NorthTexas Glutne Intolerance Group there is a web site just look up northtexasgig.com sorry I don't know how to put up the web link but anyway you can sign up on there for the daily newletter which are free I did that for a while until I got upset with my doctor and told her to stop because I was negative which now I think was stupid of me because she gave very good info and warnings and stuff. anyway they do have monthly meetings in the HEB area. I just looked at there web site and the next meeting is July 7 from 9-12 Celiac 101 and 10-12 group meeting. I think that this is very informative web site. Betty Barfield is the president manager@northtexasgig.com. I have never gone to a meeting, i think that the first one is free to attend and then you have to start paying after that, anyway I hope that this will help.

I am from Keller, TX. Was diagnosed in May. I am doing fairly well but have been glutened in restaurants which is very aggravating. Anyway, I do belong to NTGIG and have gone the meetings. Need to know safe places in Keller and Southlake.

Any good places to eat in Fort Worth? It was hard enough getting vegetarian foods that didn't have chicken broth or something in it. I used to go to Spiral Diner. Are there any sort of meetings in Ft Worth?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
