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!

Guppy's on Gulf Blvd. in Indian Rocks just added a new gluten-free menu. I am going there for vacation in July and can't wait to eat there! :P

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.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
