We are taking a long road trip from NY to Florida along I-95. Does anybody have tips as to what kids of stops I will have along the way and what gluten-free options will be available? Thanks a bunch!

I would imagine there is Outbacks along the way.

There are some Outbacks along the way, but they don't generally advertise on the highway, so they can be a bit difficult to find. If you take the time to map out Outback locations on their website, please forward that on. We make the trip from PA to FL every year. We generally stop at Wendy's on the way down to Florida. We also eat the side salads from McDonalds and the apple dippers. I believe there are also a few Chik-fil-A's, they have some gluten free menu items listed on their website I believe. I believe there are a few Chili's, but I can't remember if they advertise along the highway or not. You may want to pack a cooler full of premade cold food... We pack macaroni salad (made with Tinkyada), nacho and cheese lunchables, lunch wraps made with oscar meyer cold cuts and GV or Kraft american cheese, cheese cubes, string cheese, glutino pretzels and jif peanut butter, lara bars or kind bars, fresh fruit and veggies, pre-popped popcorn, a bag of lettuce and Kraft dressing, and some other stuff. Definitely pack all your munchy food so that you don't end up having to eat Lays potato chips the whole way down. :) Have a great trip!!!

Oh, one more thing, many real truck stops (the kinds with showers like Flying J's) have fresh fruit for sale. That's a nice treat if you run out of fruit in your stash.

In PA on 95 South, you can take the Woodhaven Road Exit to Franklin Mills Mall and there is a Mexican Post (no gluten-free menu, but somewhat accommodating) and a Bugaboo Steak House (gluten-free menu available).

I can give you other options in the Philly area, but it depends how far off the 95 corridor you want to travel......

Thanks for the info...I don't really want to travel too far off of 95, fast food things would be the best. I am going to look into what fast food places are available on the road that have gluten-free menu's.

I know this thread is ages old, but I just came across it.

In Ft. Lauderdale there is a pizza place not too far from the highway that makes actual, delicious gluten-free pizzas. Just call a little ahead to let them know you are coming.

Here's the link:

Next time you make the trip, keep it in mind.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
