Ms SS--Darn, if I lived in Florida, I would join your club! We could meet on Sunday nights--around 7:30 and then stick around and have a Sopranos party afterwards :D

Really--good luck with it!

I'm from South East Florida. I believe me and my mom might start one someday. We would form one right away but for now my mom is busy taking care of my papa who has a brain tumor.

So I know there's one In Boca you could go to, I would go to it if it weren't so far away.

Didn't you go to the doctor? Hope it went well. I would go to your group but too far away. Have you ever looked into the SCD? LL

My parents live in Miami Shores, but I live in PA. Let me know if you start a group in Miami because I'd like to attend when I go home to visit them in the summer and over holidays.

I recently got diagnosed with Celiac and i feel as if i am the only person inn South Florida with it. Its so unfair that i see other cities have full dedicated websites and posting and restaurant options and there is nothing for south Florida. I would love to Join a group. :) and feel there i am not the only one, get helpful advice, exchange ideas, etc.... maybe even star up a website as there is one needed.. :rolleyes:

Does anyone have a list or suggestions of places to eat in and around the Boca area? I'm heading down there in March or April to visit my mom, and I've googled for suggestions, but can't find any. Other then the typical PF Changs or Outback, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Legal Seafood at Town Center Mall has a gluten Free menu. There is a new pizza place in Deerfield beach, called Pizza Fusion that has gluten free pizza. Another Pizza Fusion will be opening in Boca, Powerline and Palmetto in April. If you bring your own pasta to Sweet Tomatoes, they will make it for you, but if you are highly sensitive, I would be careful.

I'm heading down there in April to visit my mom in Boca area. I hope the new Pizza Fusion is open by then, as I eager to try it!!! If not, we're driving to Deerfield.

Definitely visit Pizza Fusion!! I was in South FL visiting family over the holidays and took my dd there for pizza! She loved it and even got a brownie too! One word of warning, though... give them a call before you go there because they need a little notice for the gluten-free crust.

We will be coming to Florida in April07. Disney for a week then we will go down the East coast. First stop is Junipter, hopefully the guys can get out on a head boat to do some fishing. Then I ask that we stop to try Pizza Fusion. I sure hope it is worth the stop over.Then we are going over 75 to the gulf side. Stopping in Port Charlotte, then onto to Palmetto.If anyone knows any good eating places on this route,Please let me know.

Oh yeah, fishing head boats too???? I forgot we want to stop at Cape Canaveral.

If there are any good gluten-free shopping on our route please fiil us in on that too. I'm always on the look-out for new gluten-free foods that will knock our socks off... I don't get that where I live......

thanks

The Southeast Chapter (CSA affiliated) meets too far south for me as I'm in northern Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County Chapter (CDF affiliated) meets in the Delray area - again, too far away for me, especially during the work week.

I'd love to have a support group in the northern part of the county; anybody out there want to get involved?

I too am in South FL (Miami) and was recently diagnosed with Celiac. I have done numerous searches on the internet and have found nothing available in this area as well. My search is continuing and I will let you know if I find something!!!

I live in Boynton Beach and am a Celiac. I do go to school in Connecticut but I am here on breaks and would be interested in interacting with other Celiacs.

I am possibly moving to Pembroke Pines area in August and would be interested in meeting some others. Is there a WF nearby that has a monthly meeting?

      gluten-free British Virgin Islands Travel

      By Joel K · Posted

      A year later, I can say (1) I've sailed around in the BVIs now twice since my original posting on this subject and found several restaurants that were safe for me.  I was happy to see most of the larger restaurants had at least someone who could answer questions if no mention was made in the menus.  And (2) I was sad to see that none of the bars or restaurants in Cane Garden Bay, Tortola, were safe for folks with celiac disease, especially since I used to live there quite a while back but had not yet been diagnosed. For the record, Road Town in Tortola had two places I could eat relatively safely in public: The Village Inn Marina restaurant, because the kitchen is outside and I could speak directly with the chef (servers aren't much help in knowing, but are helpful if you ask them to ask the chef), and Capriccio di Mare, which is a short hike from Village Cay.  Again, servers, not so much.  But the owner/manager is very visible and accessible and she's got celiac down to a tee.  She even makes sure there are gluten-free desserts available! As for the other British Virgins: Virgin Gorda: There's a place in Leverick Bay and another at Saba Rock resorts where we can eat safely.  I didn't make it down to Spanishtown on either trip due to weather.  Above The Baths was another place supposed to be another place, but I have that on hearsay from one of my non-celiac disease shipmates. Marina Cay: Lots of gluten-free options and I felt quite safe eating there. Jost Van Dyke: Foxy's had someone who knew what I could have safely, and they included most everything on the menu.  Some weren't, but the lady could tell me which. Norman Island: The Pirate's Bight restaurant is about as safe as it gets down there.  Servers are clued in, food was marked on the menu and plates when they came out.  Leave it to BVI to have the safest gluten-free restaurant on an unhabited island! No problem, mon. Anegada: We ate at the Lobster Trap and at Potter's.  Good stuff, Maynard! I have to say, most of the restaurants make real food rather than processed, out-of-the-packet/box food down there.  So as long as you stick to whole foods, you're more than likely fine.  I did use my GliadinX product the first time I went down there last November in all the places I ate ashore.  But not the second time in April.  Especially in the places where the locals remembered me.  I actually felt safer in most places down in the BVIs than most restaurants in my own hometown in New Hampshire.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      By Beverage · Posted

      My college aged step grand daughter, diagnosed with Celiacs 2 years ago, did get a reaction after kissing her new boyfriend. It was driving her nuts trying to figure it out until I asked her if she'd been kissing anybody. She went beet red. They did some testing of the situation, and thought that was the source.  For her, having him drink something and rinse out his mouth didn't do enough.  He started carrying a little toothbrush and toothpaste around with him.  I noticed he started kissing the back of her hand instead of her face from time to time, so dang cute.  She hasn't had the problem since, and still with that nice young man that was so considerate and willing to do a little change for her.

      Caribbean Sailing with Celiac

      By Joel K · Posted

      Thanks, and I'm excited about it.  I just hope I get some interest in it here and quickly.  I'm planning on trying to go to contract soon with BVI Yacht Charters in Tortola, whom I've contracted with before.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I contacted nuts.com and they responded with: They are not shared on processed lines or contaminants. They are on an exclusively gluten free line.

      Rigorous exercise + inflammation/fatigue?

      By Parkrunner · Posted

      I am following the COMB study as documented in the NIH PubMed web site. This involves calcium, magnesium, strontium,  DHA, vitamin D, and vitamin K2-MK7. If I don't consume the nutrients in my diet I take supplements.  My second bone density test showed significant improvement without taking drugs as my GI doc predicted. My case is several standard deviations from normal, so common medical advice for osteoporosis doesn't apply.
