I Need Some Help I'm Traveling To Arizona


Alicia

Recommended Posts

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.

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;)

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
