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.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
