Hi,

I am from the UK, but will be visiting Kissimmee,FL for Xmas, doing all the tourist stuff! :)

Last time I came to the States, I was an undiagnosed Coeliac (Celiac in US?).

Do any locals in the Kissimme area have any tips for eating out a supermarket shopping in the area?

Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Many thanks :)

Dave

I am going there in Feb. I found out there is a Whole foods market one exit north of Orlando in Winter Park. Also there should be a Outback steakhouse, Carabbas, and PF Changs in the area. They all have gluten free menus. Whole Foods has a big deli/restaurant in there store. Their items are labeled clearly with all ingredients.

My parents just bought a house and its in Kissimee... We shopped at Publix.. which they didnt seem to have much.. so we went to super Walmart the next day.. They had tons of stuff, clearly marked.

Where my parents house is... 3 miles from Disney... There is a Carrabbas, Outback, Red Lobster (not too sure about them though) all on one corner. I had no problem getting any type of gluten free food.

I did, however, bring my own pancake mix down, a loaf of bread, and breadcrumbs for an amazing chicken parm dinner.

good luck! and have fun!

Thanks for your responses!

I will check these places out.

I do remember a Publix from our last visit.

out on SR192 I think (the main east-west road?)

We are staying in Indian Ridge which I gather is just across the road from where we stayed

last time in Indian Ridge Oaks.

Thanks again,

Dave

Thank you... we rent it out when we arent there. It is so central to all of Disney. We shopped the Publix like I said.. but I didnt find too much gluten free, except the obvious fresh meat, fruit and veggies. The produce section was rather limited too.. I would recommend trying the Walmart if you can and find the time with all you are doing there.

Have a fun trip!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
