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?

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Taking more is fine. I had to bump mine up several times when first starting. It's a matter of finding what...

      Insomnia help

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

      Hi @knitty kitty Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially w...

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.

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