Hi! I'm 21 years old and I have just found out that I have celiac disease. I've been researching a lot on it b/c I have never heard of it. Gluten is in all of my favorite foods, but what I was wondering is if anyone knows any restaurants in Georgia, maybe around the Atlanta area, that are gluten free or have gluten free menu items. Thanks a lot for the help!

There are a few mainstream ones. I'll have to think about more tomorrow and reply back. I am 20 and live just outside Atlanta and go into the city often.

In Atlanta, and elsewhere, PF Chang's offers a gluten free menu. I have been to the one in ATL and it is great. You can go to their website and the list which items on their menu are gluten free.

Also, Outback Steakhouse, Carraba's, and Bonefish Grill (all owned by the same company) offer a gluten free menu as well. They list it on their websites.

Hope that this is a start! (I was diagnosed while I lived in Auburn, AL so I was up to ATL fairly often). I'm sure others who live there can tell you about local eateries though! And make sure to check out Whole Foods-they have many gluten free foods! They carry Tinkyada pasta which is my favorite!

Welcome to the world of gluten free :)

Maggiano's has gluten free pasta and can prepare a lovely gluten-free meal for you... Call before you go in case they need to order the pasta, and when you are there ask to speak to the chef...

Shakespeare Tavern downtown is a dinner theater that is Celiac friendly... One of the chef's has a friend with Celiac and is very accomodating. Also, just call or e-mail the chef before you go... (I can't think clearly this morning, but they do have a web site)...

there is a Chinese Restaurant in East Cobb (I can find out the name if you are interested) that can prepare a gluten-free meal... we had one of our support group meetings there and it was amazing!

Life Grocery in Marietta has a cafe called Cafe Life that is right next to the store, many of their menu items are gluten-free... and they can easily tell you which ones. This is vegan fare and quite delicious.

I know there are a lot more, but I can't think right now. Just woke up a lil bit ago.

Do a google search with meetup.com/celiac and you should hit a group in Atlanta that gets together once a month to eat out around town gluten free. Their next dinner is in two this Thurs. I can't attend this month but there is no fee to join the group. If you decide to attend a dinner, you pay the meeting facilitator $2 and pay for your own meal. Finding this group was like a lifesaver for me since I learned that my life of eating out is not over. I learned from one dinner about two places to buy lots of yummy gluten-free foods and never to eat at Ted's Montanna Grill.

Also, Aqua Terra Bistro in downtown Buford GA has lots of naturally gluten free meals but it's a pricey place. The bartender is the chef's wife and she has Celiac and can tell you what you can order safely. Don't go on a Friday or Sat. night as they don't take reservations so if you don't get there at 6 you'll wait two hours to be seated. It is very good!

Maggianno's pasta (nini mentioned) is to die for good but as she stated, you have to call ahead and order it as it's not always on site. Tell your server to send the chef out so he can tell you what is safe. Maggiano's was my best gluten free dining experience to date. If you were never a picky orderer before, learn to be so now. Otherwise, you may as well stay home because if you don't tell the kitchen what you need to eat safely, you will surely get sick. Good luck!

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
