I Need Some Help I'm Traveling To Arizona


Alicia

Recommended Posts

Alicia Rookie

I am going to Arizona to visit a friend and wondering if anyone knows of any restraunt's that have a gluten free menu there?

I will be in the Tuscon area are there any good health food stores around there?

Oh does anyone know if In and Out( I think it is a hamburger place) has gluten free items?

This is my first traveling experience gluten free so a little nervous about it all.

Hi there! I've been living in AZ for several months and have found a few places that are good. Check for Mt. Hope Stores, they carry alot of gluten-free foods and are super helpful.

Also I just went to an On The Border in Scottsdale & they were fantastic! not toomuch to choose from but I got a steak & they made me special veggies & it was soooo yummy!

Also, do a search for Gluten Free Restaurants in Arizona & you'll find a fairly long list.

Hopefully you've talked to your friend about cross contaimination issues with you being in the house. That way you can cook there and not have to worry so much. Lots of organic foods out here but from what I've sen in the stores, not too many options with fruits & veggies in the standard stores.

I know Thyphoon (or Thaiphoon) in Scottsdale has a delicious Asian inspired menu and a gluten-free menu. It's soooooo goooodddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget about Picazzo's pizza. They are in tempe, scottsdale and sedona. They have the best gluten-free pizza I have ever had. www.picazzos.com Open Original Shared Link

I live in Tucson. For gluten-free groceries, you can go to Trader Joes, Sprouts, Sunflower Market, Wild Oats, and there is also a health food store on Broadway & Craycroft (can't remember the name, but the manager is celiac, so she carries a good variety of gluten-free stuff...maybe it's called New Life?)

As for restaurants, many mexican dishes are naturally gluten-free if you use corn tortillas. My husband also enjoys PF Changs and Carrabbas.

Hope you enjoy your stay in our fair city!! Better come before it gets too hot;)

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: 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/
