I just did a posting on Gatlinburg but totally forgot that we are going to Atlanta, GA on vacation before that. Anyone know of a good website that lists any gluten free restaurants or of any specific places in Atlanta or near that offer gluten free food. We are going to Stone Mountain for a few days but will be really close to Atlanta. Thanks for any help you can give us.

I was just in Atlanta at the end of March to see my sis and went out to eat a few times. We went to Stone Mountain and did eat at Miss Katie's Sideboard Restaurant. They had very little for me to choose from, but I did have a burger, no bun and some green beans. I am not completely convinced the green beans were safe (lots of flavorings) and they didn't have a clue as to what I was talking about. PF Changs was great....very accomodating. Ted's Montana Grill was so-so in Buford, but I have eaten at others that were wonderful. It could have just been the server. Chik-fil-a is great for fast food...waffle fries are okay, chargrilled chicken salad and ranch are all okay. There is a Harry's (Whole Foods) there, but I found that Kroger also had just as much gluten-free to offer as they did (and they were cheaper).

That is all I can remember for now. If I think of anything else, I'll post back. Have fun! :)

There isn't much in Atlanta to eat at. Do a search on here to find a few threads about this city.

I live in Lilburn which is next to Stone Mtn -

the only place I've eaten at with success

is the Longhorn Steakhouse on Hwy 78/Killian Hill Rd

in Stone Mtn/Lilburn. The manager knew what

I was talking about when I gave the server my dining

card. I have many food allergies too and they

were very accomodating. There are a few places

in the Midtown/Buckhead area of Atlanta but as

a rule I typically don't eat out. There also is an

Outback Steakhouse on Hwy 78 in Stone Mtn. that

you might want to try but I've never been there.

Hope you have a good trip!

Well, I was hoping to hear something wonderful. We were hoping that there was a place or 2 in that area that someone may have had luck with or that understood what celiac was. I know you all know, we just get a little tired of eating at the same places even though those select few are awesome.

I can't vouch from personal experience, but there is a local group here that I just joined that eats out together on a monthly basis and publishes info about the places they ate on their message boards, including the gluten-free menus. Join the group at Open Original Shared Link, search for Celiac and use zip 30050. Go to the message boards and you will find the gluten-free menus. Some of the restaurants are: R.Thomas, Blue Ridge Grill, Cedar Creek Grill, Carrabas, Cheesburger in Paradise, Smokey Bones, On the Border, PF Changs, and Outback. PM me if you have any problems. :)

Hope you enjoy your trip! B)

The person to ask about this is Floridanative. She knows a lot about the restaurants in that area.

Sorry I missed this....on vacation when you posted. We eat out about once a week and there are the usual chains but I've found the higher end places are much more Celiac aware than most chain places they supposedly know what gluten is.

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population...

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      Good, balanced analysis. I liked the comparison of the different platforms in this context. Fwiw, the same essay largely would work if you substitute any of many contemporary topics. As a moderator of this site, have you stepped back and considered how this site fits into this essay? Personally, I don't think I have enough visibility into the comments...

      Test interpretations

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also h...

But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.

      Since you compromised the validity of the antibody testing by experimenting with gluten withdrawal ahead of the testing, you are faced with two options: 1. Reintroduce significant amounts of gluten into your diet for a period of weeks, i.e., undertake a "gluten challenge". The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of testing. Note: I would certainly give it more than two weeks to be sure. 2. Be willing to live with the ambiguity of not knowing whether gluten causes you problems because you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we have tests for it. Celiac disease has an autoimmune base. NCGS does not. GI symptoms overlap. In the early stages of celiac disease, other body systems may not be showing stress or damage so, symptomatically, it would be difficult to distinguish between celiac disease and NCGS. Both conditions require elimination of gluten from the diet for symptom relief. Some experts feel that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.
