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

I know my mom knows people who have Celiac Disease. Hopefully we may start a group soon in Stuart, Florida. Its about an hour drive from West Palm Beach and the Gardens Mall.

I live in Stuart. In Martin County. Next to Port St. Lucie. And an hour from The Gardens Mall in PGA.

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.

steveindenver Contributor

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.

Cheri A Contributor

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.

RKB-MD Rookie

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?

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
    • Scott Adams
      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily 
    • trents
      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?
