Does anyone have a recommendation for a gluten free dining spot in Sarasota, FL? I'd love to find a couple places, so I can book a hotel by them.

Thanks,

We flew into Sarasota and stopped at a Friendly's near the airport. They lived up to their name - very Friendly! The waitress asked the cook about the mashed potatoes and he brought out the box so I could read the label. I ended up going with a bunless burger and it was very good, and the sundae that followed was tasty too. We also ate at a Bennigan's but I didn't realize the steak came with fried onions all over the steak.. I sent that back only to have it come back out with fried onions under the mashed potatoes. argh! We ate at Whole Foods too, and they made me a yummy sandwich (no bread), as well as had quina salads and a freezer full of baked goods. We stayed in Venice and went to the Crow's Nest... yummmmmy!!

We went to the Florida Aquarium, a very cool place to visit... and they made me a sandwich on lettuce instead of the bread. Everyone there was helpful, you'll have a good time!

Hi, I live in Sarasota and have just started this process... there is an Outback steakhouse on Rt 41 and a Carrabas on Stickney point Rd into Siesta Key (corner of 41 and Clark rd) BUT... last weekend I went to a very fine restaurant called Zoria's on Main St in downtown Sarasota and they catered to me very wonderfully. The sous chef and owner both came out to meet me and discuss my options. Their menu is online and they have a raw food menu that is perfect for appetizers, but I think they would be happy to give a main course option as well... they serve Haagen-dasz vanilla ice cream as a dessert option and the owner was very excited about a raw food option that involved a ton of chocolate, as well... it was great. I ordered a filet with steamed asparagus and the chef made a red wine sauce especially for me, obviously gluten-free.

Any of these place are within 10 minutes of Siesta Key, if not less.

I wanted to mention that there's a fantastic gluten free bakery on Siesta Key....right behind Capt. Curt's restaurant. It's called Island Ice cream and Gluten free bakery and their desserts and breads are delicious. The key lime pie is the best I've ever tasted! The only ice cream that's gluten free is vanilla, but all their baked goods are gluten free. The owners are so nice and fun to talk to and really understand since one of them is gluten intolerant. As far as restaurants, there are quite a few chains that have gluten free menus. I ate at the Outback and had no problems, the staff was very helpful. Hope you have a great time on your trip!

Hi!

The Selva Grill in Sarasota is a fantastic restaurant (it ranks in the top 100 restaurants in the US.) It serves Latin American food, which includes many dishes that you can safely eat. Ceviche and dishes that have manioc.... Enjoy!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      I’m glad you have a clear answer. Some endoscopes have enough magnification for the doctor to see the damage during the procedure.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
