Anyone know of good gluten-free outdoor dining options inside the city limits of Knoxville (or just outside)? Thanks!

Benefit Your Life is a dedicated gluten-free bakery/restaurant. The restaurant menu is limited to sandwiches and salads but they do have a place to eat outside.

I love to stop at Good Golly Tamale on my way through town which is gluten-free and delicious. It is in the Old City and they are great at takeout but I've had trouble finding outdoor space. Last time I got takeout and went to Lakeshore Park for a scenic picnic.

I'm around and through Knoxville frequently but haven't found a place that I feel comfortable for a sit down dinner. I'm curious to see if anyone else chimes in.  I am Celiac and rarely eat at restaurants but have had very good experiences at both of these places.

Thank you very much @SW_Virginia_USA, those sound like excellent suggestions. Much appreciated.

I live in Knoxville and have struggled with finding decent places to eat that are celiac safe.  I have never been to the Good Golly Tamale restaurant, but have bought tamales when the cart has been at the farmers market and can confirm they are delicious. I did a Google search and found that Good Golly, along with Mama C's and Donut Theory are dedicated gluten free, even though I have never tried the latter 2 places, but definitely will in the future.  Petro's surprisingly, although fast food, has decent gluten free options and I feel pretty safe ordering from there. The downtown and Powell locations have outdoor seating.  Most restaurants offer gluten free options, but are only gluten friendly at best.

      By the way, you need to repost those numbers in your first post and add the reference ranges. Different labs use different reference ranges so the test scores by themselves aren't very helpful, especially when the values may be borderline positive. It would need to be in a new post window as the edit function times out quickly such that you can't go back and make changes to the original. What symptoms do you have? What has led you to investigate the possibility of having celiac disease?

      I ate two pieces of toast each morning for three weeks prior to testing. The rest of the day I ate whatever. I am going to increase the gluten for four weeks and ask my doc to retest. I did read that false positives are possible, so I think it’s reasonable to retest. But I am very new to this, so not feeling confident.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Cat M! Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten for a significant period of time (weeks/months) before the blood draw and test results you posted? I ask because you say you would like to be retested after consuming gluten for a few weeks. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks. But I would go for longer than that to be sure, say 4 weeks. Testing is invalid when people have been gluten free or even skimping on it.

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be grateful for your thoughts.

      I was diagnosed with celiac in 2019 but was never told how serious this all could be! I have not taken this diet serious due to it being brought to me as optional if you get sick deal with it or go gluten free! I would like to know how to stick to a gluten free diet fully worried I’ve already caused to much damage
