Hello,

I just found out that I will be moving to Washington, DC in the summer for at least 2 years, but probably longer. I will be spending most of my time at/near Georgetown U, but I will be most likely living in Virginia or Maryland.

Does anyone have any experience in eating on Georgetown's campus or the surrounding area, or any recommendations on any locations with cheap, safe food. (and preferably cheap rent :rolleyes: ). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

There are a ton of great restaurants that are gluten free. As for cheap rent, not so much.

1. Jaleo/Austin Grill/Oyamel/Zaytina/Cafe Atlantico all have a special gluten free menu

2. California tortilla has some gluten-free options as well

3. lots of the sushi places are really helpful

hope that helps!!! i find when i call ahead most of the restaurants are willing to help

I second Lilit Cafe! It's so nice to be able to sit down and order pizza and beer just like everyone else!

Just to update anyone moving to DC, here is what I found--

In Georgetown: SweetGreen, Qdoba, Chipotle, 5 Guys, and the Tombs were my staples. The Tombs is amazing with allergies, I highly recommend it. The same people (I think) own Clydes, so I am sure they would be easy too.

In Rosslyn/Court House: Silver Diner, Pho 75, Baja Fresh, California Tortilla, Chipotle

Bethesda: Original House of Pancakes, Austin Grill, Chipotle, Baja Fresh, and supposedly Lilit Cafe...

I tried Lilit Cafe, but they messed up my take-out order/I was recovering from norovirus, so I have nothing really to report :o .

My gosh, is the Tombs still open. That's where we went, when we skipped Mr. Barletts government class, to hang out. (but don't tell my mom :ph34r: )

Flemings in McLean/Tysons Corner, VA is very accommodating. The waiter was fairly knowledgeable about wheat and I explained to him that it included barley and rye as well. He was pleasant and understanding and wasn't afraid to ask me questions back, which I appreciated.

Ted's Montana Grill was really great and have a gluten-free menu. The one I went to was in Crystal City (Arlington) and is a very short walk from the metro. I know this may not apply to the original poster but it may apply to those still looking lol

BTB, does anyone know if you can get to that Lilith Cafe from the DC metro? I am living in Crystal City / interning in DC for the summer and both were right off the metro so I didn't feel the need to have a car with me.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
