Does anyone know of good restaurants in Jacksonville (especially at the beaches) that are gluten free? I know like Outback and Carrabbas but any other good "hidden treasures"? :) I LOVE mexican food, so any of those suggestions would be great too!

I dont but I would also be interested to find out! Let me know if you get any information, I also live on the southside by the beaches and would like to know if any of the restraunts that way are gluten-free.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one from area code 904 here! :rolleyes:

Other than Outback and Carrabba's, Bonefish Grille and PF Chang's (there's a PF Chang's in the St. John's Town Center) both have gluten-free menus. In fact, all four of those restaurants are owned by the same company, I believe. There's a Buca de Beppo near the Avenues mall (consequently, near my house, in Mandarin), and they can provide you with a list of menu items which are (or can be) gluten-free (you can also find different versions of this list on the internet).

Many Publix stores (including the one I work at, on Old St. Augustine) and a few Wal-Mart stores sell Anheuser-Busch's Redbridge beer. The Native Sun grocery store near my house (on San Jose) has an entire aisle dedicated to gluten-free food, too (I assume all of them do).

Oh, by the way, I'm not a celiac. ;)

Tommy's Pizza on Southside Blvd. just added gluten-free pizza and beer to their menu. They were written up in the Times-Union a couple of weeks ago. I haven't tried them yet, but one of my friends has and said it was fantastic. They're just north of Tinsletown on Southside. Edit - their number is 904-565-1999

Is there just a simple listing of restaurants compiled that offer gluten free options in Jacksonville on this site. I go to several places on a regular basis like Bostons, Mellow Mushroom, Ted Montanas as an example, but a list could be helpful. Thanks

Mellow Mushroom has gluten free pizza just off of A1A, 7 blocks north of Beach Blvd. Also European Street Cafe on Beach Blvd in Jacksonville Beach area, can make any sandwich with Udies Gluten Free bread. Both have been sentive to my needs when I told them I was a celiac and could not have wheat. Tony

Are you sure it's Udi's? I was told their bread was made by the local gluten-free bakery, The Cookie Momsters. They also have gluten-free vegan desserts, appetizers, and entrees from Shakti Life. The flax crackers with "cheeze" were surprisingly good.

Other places with gluten-free fare not mentioned - Maggiano's will create any entree for you with gluten-free pasta (or a custom entree), Olive Garden, Longhorn, Boston's (gluten-free pizza), BJ's Brewhouse (gluten-free pizza and beer). Pollo Tropical is fast food and has several choices that are deicious. I've heard Chipotle's has some gluten-free stuff too, but haven't been there.

Do be aware that Bono's barbecue is NOT safe, which was a big surprise. There is gluten in the rub they put on all barbecue except turkey. The turkey is cooked in spots where the other meats have been, so it will be contaminated. Most of the sides are flavored with meat from their grill too.

If y'all know of anything good in the St. Augustine area please post too. My parents live on the island and we go every summer. I know it's about 45 mins. away but I know lots of people go there from Jacksonville.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have taken the vitamins for a week. Haven't noticed any major changes but I will give it more time to see.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor. I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      @Charlie1946,  Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit.  Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over.  Have you been checked for SIBO?  There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO.  I had SIBO, thrush (Candida) and lichen planus and other problems while I was on Omeprazole.  I had to stop taking it.  It was a horrible time, so I understand how painful and frustrating it is.   You change your microbiome (the bacteria and microbes living inside you) by changing what you eat.  They eat what you eat.  Change the menu and you get different customers.   I changed my diet.  I cut out dairy because I was reacting to the casein and lactose.  I cut out all processed foods and most carbohydrates. I ate meat and veggies mostly, some fruit like apples and mandarin oranges.  By cutting out all the excess carbohydrates, lactose, and empty carbs in processed gluten-free foods, the opportunistic microbes get starved out.  SIBO bacteria send chemical messages to our brains demanding more carbs, so be prepared for carb cravings, but don't let the microbiome control you!   The skin and digestive system is continuous.  The health of our outside skin reflects the health of our gastrointestinal system.  Essential B vitamins, like Thiamine B 1 and especially Niacin B 3, are needed to repair intestinal damage and keep bad bacteria in check.  Niacin helps improve not only the intestinal tract, but also the skin.  Sebaceous Hyperplasia is linked to being low in Niacin B 3.  Lichen Planus is treated with Niacinamide, a form of Niacin B 3.   Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  We must get them from our food.  If our food isn't digested well (low stomach acid from Omeprazole causes poor digestion), then vitamins aren't released well.  Plus there's a layer of SIBO bacteria absorbing our vitamins first between the food we've eaten and our inflamed and damaged villi that may have difficulty absorbing the vitamins.  So, taking vitamin supplements is a way to boost absorption of essential nutrients that will allow the body to fight off the microbes, repair and heal.   Doctors are taught in medical learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.  The importance of nutrition is downplayed and called old fashioned.  Doctors are taught we have plenty to eat, so no one gets nutritional deficiency diseases anymore.  But we do, as people with Celiac disease, with impaired absorption.  Nutritional needs need to be addressed first with us.  Vitamins cannot be patented because they are natural substances.  But pharmaceutical drugs can be.  There's more money to be made selling pharmaceutical drugs than vitamins.   Makes me wonder how much illness could be prevented if people were screened for Celiac disease much earlier in life, instead of after they've been ill and medicated for years.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.   Interesting Reading: The Duration of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy and the Risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12250812/#:~:text=The long-term use of,overgrowth dynamics is less clear.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.
