If you live in Knoxville, Seymour, Sevierville, or the Smokies (or are familiar with this area)...I need your help!!

My husband and I will be traveling to the Knoxville/Smokies area this August for a second honeymoon. Because of my dietary limitations/restrictions, we are trying to plan ahead but unfortunately aren't finding the information we were hoping for.

If you can provide me with some information/recommendations on gluten-free dining/grocery shopping in the Knoxville - Gatlinburg area or direct me to further resources please post a response! I am especially interested in gluten-free options in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area.

Any and all help that you might be able to provide me with to help me have a safe, healthy, & happy second honeymoon is deeply appreciated!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...GO VOLS!! :D

There's a Whole Foods in Knoxville. As far as restaurants I really don't know but they might at Whole Foods have some recommendations. Good luck.

we were just in Knoxville & Pigeon Forge area and had great success. Eating out is always risky...however, we did go to Outback, Nascar Cafe, TGI Fridays & Hard Rock Cafe with great success. Hubby never got sick once & we left one of our dining out cards at every restaurant so they would have it on hand for the future.

The managers were very accomodating, especialy at Hard Rock & TGI Fridays. We made sure at every stop to speak to the manager & told them exactly what hubby could & could not eat. They would even bring out their supply book so I could see the ingreadints. (sorry can't spell). The only place we didn't have any luck (but never tried) was at the track in Bristol. Even the hotel we stayed at, Knoxville Marriot, was great at the restaurant. The chef came out to talk to us and told us everything on the menu he could eat. Can't say the same for the room service - they won't let you do substitutions but he could have the salad.

Good luck & have a good trip

While I have been to Knoxville a few times I have not tired eating out. Downtown can be pretty slow on weekends, at least when I have been there. Enjoy your time there.

P.F. Changs has an entire gluten-free menu, as does Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish grill. I'd stick with those!

We're getting one though in a few years in Nashville near the Wild Oats on Franklin Road.

Sorry I can't help. Last time I was there, I wasn't dxed with Celiac and really can't remember much about the food there anyway. I can tell you there are Wild Oats in Tennessee though.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
