I believe that my sister (samking72 on here :) ) has celiac. She is going on the gluten-free diet to see if she feels any better. Is there anyone in the Orlando area that can help her out like:

where good supermarkets are located

where there are good places to eat etc.

I would be doing this but I live all the way in NY. Thanks everyone :)

In Orlando have her try Seasons 52. They have a gluten free menu, don't serve bread but offer low cal. healthy gourmet dining. They will open in Perimeter and Buckhead in Atlanta this year.

I'm in Sebastian. Some of the Publix supermarkets have a fair selection of gluten-free foods, but they are spreadout throughout the store. Wild Oats in Melbourne has a good selection (and a gluten free product list that you can pull down from their web site) - and they just opened a new store in Tampa. P.F. Changs is located at the Mall at Millenia (Conroy road, O-Town) and in Winter Park (and Tampa, and Jax, and . . . ). Flemings Steakhouse is in Winter Park. Carrabba's Italian Grill has a couple locations in Orlando, plus Kissimmee, Winter Springs, Altamonte Springs . . . . All of these restaurants have gluten-free menus.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
