In case anyone goes there for vacation (perfectly lovely in the Fall) I found two places to feed us safe gluten free meals. We only had to dine out once so I only tried one place but it provided me with one of my best meals out in months. Gourmet all the way but it was hysterical as it's in a 'dry' county so they actually list their service fee for serving your own booze as 'brown bagging fee'. We took our own wine which went perfectly with our goat cheese/chive app. with sundried tomatos and various olives. It came with bread (on the side) so I used my own Schar crackers with it and it was to die for delish! Rest of party said the bread was nothing special but obviously I can't attest to that. My meal did not even have to be modified in any way, it was all gluten free. The Chef is very knowledgeable about gluten and everything is made from natural, fresh ingredients, so no mystery components to cause a problem. The place - The Orchard - do not miss it if you're ever in town. $66 for two including 1 bb fee, tip extra.

I am going to have to look this place up on mapquest! I usually go to hotsprings, nc for my minivacations, but I've only eaten out once (the cabins are fully equipped).

Thanks for the tip!

Yes - we were in an cabin with full kitchen too, hence we only ate out one night. If you go to Cashiers, the other place I researched is called Cornucopia which apparently serves lunch as well as dinner and it's down the street from The Ochard. I can not vouch for them though since we didn't get around to eating there. Also, there is nothing much to do in Cashiers so the shopping (if you're so inclined) is best in Highlands which was on the way to Cashiers for us. It's only about 10 miles between the two places but with the windy roads, it's almost a 30 minute drive.

If you go down the mtn to Sylva and then go into Dillsboro there are some cute shops there for shopping.

If you go down the other side of the mtn there are some cute shops in Brevard.

If you're looking for shopping, shopping...you gotta go to Asheville!

Great hiking there too....:)

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten exposure alone. Many people find that issues like low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems, other autoimmune conditions, or lingering inflammation can contribute to that deep exhaustion, so it’s reasonable to push your doctor for more thorough blood work beyond just vitamin B. As for eggs, it’s also not unusual for people with celiac disease to develop additional food intolerances over time; tolerating eggs as an ingredient but not on their own can point to sensitivity to the proteins when they’re concentrated. Some people do better avoiding eggs for a while, then carefully testing them again later. Most importantly, trust your body—if something consistently makes you feel awful, it’s okay to avoid it even if it’s technically “allowed.” Many of us have had to advocate hard for ourselves medically, and connecting with other people with celiac disease, even online, can make a huge difference in feeling supported and less isolated.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Cecile! It is common for those with celiac disease to develop sensitivity/intolerance to non-gluten containing foods. There is a high incidence of this with particularly with regard to dairy products and oats but soy, eggs and corn are also fairy common offenders. Like you eggs give me problems depending on how they are cooked. I don't do well with them when fried or scrambled but they don't give me an issue when included in baked and cooked food dishes or when poached. I have done some research on this strange phenomenon and it seems that when eggs are cooked with water, there is a hydrolysis process that occurs which alters the egg protein such that it does not trigger the sensitivity/intolerance reaction. Same thing happens when eggs are included in baked goods or other cooked dishes since those recipes provide moisture.  So, let me encourage you to try poaching your eggs when you have them for breakfast. You can buy inexpensive egg poacher devices that make this easy in the microwave. For instance:  https://www.amazon.com/Poacher-Microwave-Nonstick-Specialty-Cookware/dp/B0D72VLFJR/ Crack the eggs into the cups of the poacher and then "spritz" some water on top of them after getting your fingers wet under the faucet. About 1/4 teaspoon on each side seems to work. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and then snap the poacher shut. I find that with a 1000 watt microwave, cooking for about 2 minutes or slightly more is about right. I give them about 130 seconds. Fatigue and joint pain are well-established health problems related to celiac disease.  Are you diligent to eat gluten-free? Have you been checked recently for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Especially iron stores, B12 and D3. Have you had your thyroid enzyme levels checked? Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? If not, you probably should be. Celiac disease is also a nutrient deficiency disease because it reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the small bowel. We routinely recommend celiacs to supplement with a high potency B-complex vitamin, D3, Magnesium glycinate (the "glycinate" is important) and Zinc. Make sure all supplements are gluten-free. Finally, don't rule out other medical problems that may or may be associated with your celiac disease. We celiacs often focus on our celaic disease and assume it is the reason for all other ailments and it may not be. What about chronic fatigue syndrome for instance?

      I work as a renal RD and have a Celiac pt which has been rare for me (I might have had 3-4 Celiac pts in 15 years). I wondered if anyone can confirm that these medications are gluten free and safe for Celiac.  Ferric citrate (Auryxia)  Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (Velphoro)  lanthanum carbonate (Fosrenol) sevelamer carbonate (Renvela)   Thank you!
