I know there is a Bonefish Grill in Tampa...Actually on their website there are some by Clearwater and St. Pete. Smokey Bones doesn't have a gluten free menu but their BBQ and sauces are gluten free, so is their cole slaw, broccoli, asparagus, apples and green beans. I have NEVER had a problem there and they always seem to be extremly helpful and accomodating. Hope these help! I know how it stinks to eat the same stuff all the time.

I'm new to gluten-free and so far the only places I've tried eating out are Tijuana Flats and Cold Stone. This is what TF sent me when I asked what they had:

"-(Chips, Hard Tacos, Tostadas, or Taquitos) are gluten free but are fried in the same fryer as our flour and wheat tortillas which may cause contamination.

-The Dos Enchiladas are gluten free but are pre-dipped in the oil as well.

Here is a list of some menu items you might want to try:

-Dos Enchiladas (request not to be dipped in oil)

-Salad with out the shell

-Rice bowl no shell

-Fajitas with corn tortillas

-Dos soft tacos with corn tortillas

-Meats, beans, rice, and queso are gluten free!

-None of our food items contain MSG!"

I haven't been to a local one, but grabbed some out of town on Wednesday and they were really great, and understood what I needed, asking if I wanted rice, etc (I just got the salad minus shell and some queso). Hopefully the one in Oldsmar or Largo (I think it's Largo, maybe P. Park) will be just as wonderful.

I've written Evos, but not heard back yet -- same with Five Guys, though another thread on this board okays them.

So far not found anywhere non-chain that could accommodate me with anything but veggies, but I haven't been looking very long.

I miss Fortunato's. :(

I do well at Sukhothai. They have 2 locations (Carollwood and New Tampa). The food is VERY good too. :)

OH and Sami's Bakery is NOT Gluten Free. Read their labels. And at my Celiac Support group in Tampa, the leader warned everyone again. People have gotten sick off of their food.

Well my husband loves fine dining. BERNS Steakhouse really goes the extra mile. When you make your reservation, let them know and they will prepare special french onion soup, potato crisps, regular butter for the baked potato and prepare your steak accordingly also. Flemmings has been sooooo good to us! they always work with us and make us feel right at home. Roys is presently working on a Gluten Free menu but the chef prepared a delicious dinner for my son! I hope this helps!

Very yummy pizza!! My "normal" friends also enjoyed their meals.

I'd be interested to get information on the Tampa Support group ... I'm north in Citrus County, but it would be nice to have some friends like me ...

Roy's gluten free menu is great and they don't cross contaminate. The menu changes periodically and you can sit at the chef's table and watch them prepare the food-FUN! We've been there twice recently and have had a great time.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
