Anyone have any recommendations for Port St Lucie or Ft Lauderdale, FL?

We're going next week to take in a couple of Spring Training games.

Thanks

Hey there,

I'm going to PSL this wknd! I dont know any specifically gluten-free places but i do know i am going to a place in Palm Beach Gardens one night called Seasons 52 - it is supposed to be a "healthy" restaurant so i'm sure they can accommodate. Other than that, i plan on going to Publix and stocking up on snacks, as i'm sure i cant eat anything at the ballparks.

Have fun - i love spring training!

Oh and go mets :)

Try Pizza Fusion in Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach Gardens and two other locations -

Seasons 52 is in Lauderdale too and its great, its at the Galleria which is on Sunrise Blvd, right near the beach. Also at the same mall is a PF Changs and a Capital Grill, I've eaten at all 3 with no problems.

The pizza at pizza Fusion is just ok.

I've had dinner in a lot of places in Lauderdale and most with no problems at all. 3030 which is in the Harbor Beach Marriott on the beach is fantastic and they understand gluten well. The Catalina is cuban on Federal Hwy is excellent and when I was there in January the manager listened to what I needed and said let me bring you a tasting of my choice tonight, wow we got about 10 small dishes, each one better then the last. Flemings on Los Olas was easy. Chima is brazillian and fab. Johnny V's on Los Olas is excellent. Canyon on Sunrise is southwestern.

Most of these are more on the expensive side but all wonderful.

We ate at Smoky Bones on Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale successfully. Good prices too.

We also ate at Pizza Fusion. My daughter loved that she could actually have a restaurant pizza. It was pretty expensive, but worth it for her.

Do NOT eat at Outback Steakhouse, Federal Highway and 62nd Street, Fort Lauderdale They did not know what they were doing and my daughter was glutened there, without a doubt, on a trip a while ago.

      Thanks so much for the useful information. What do you mean by invasive, expensive procedure that has some medical risks attached to it, what risks? It appears to be like colonoscopy just other end but never had one so curious in case I need one what to expect thanks

      The other thing to understand is that if the blood antibody testing is negative, it is most likely that the endoscopy/biopsy will also be negative. The blood tests are checking for antibodies from the damage caused by celiac inflammation. The biopsy is checking optically for the same damage. If there are no antibodies being produced then there is no damage happening. In either case, a gluten challenge would be necessary.

      Technically speaking, the blood test is not required before the endoscopy/biopsy but you may have a hard time finding a physician willing to do an endoscopy/biopsy without it having been preceded by positive celiac blood antibody test scores. Positive antibody test scores provide the justification for going forward with an invasive, expensive procedure that has some medical risks attached to it, especially since the gluten free diet is the antidote for both celiac disease and NCGS. We sometimes do see endoscopies/biopsies to check for celiac disease without positive biopsies but only when there is obvious failure to thrive for no other apparent reason and the patient has deteriorated to the point where it has become life threatening. We also see it sometimes done incidentally when checking for other GI-related medical problems. In your case, there is no obvious reason to suspect celiac disease as opposed to NCGS as all your general lab work values are fine. You just have some GI distress associated with gluten. There is no evidence at this point to suggest that you are suffering from malabsorption. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

      @LeeRoy83, what RMJ is referring to is the test for IGA deficiency, often called "total IGA". It is not a celiac diagnostic test per se. However, if this test score is low (i.e., you are IGA deficient), the celiac IGA test scores cannot be trusted as they will be artificially low which may include false negatives. Possibly, RMJ is correct. But I'm looking at the list of terminologies employed for the various tests as laid out in this article:  For the IGA deficiency test, here is the list: Other Names for the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Total IgA Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test None of those match very well with the test score you posted which is the "Tissu (Sic) transglutaminase IgA" which lends itself to the acronym, TTG-IGA.

      In general, and I've visited many boutique cheese manufacturing facilities here in Sonoma County, CA, there is no wheat anywhere near them. Dairies generally don't process wheat products, and in cheese making cleanliness is next to godliness--they tend to keep things very clean to the point of sterile so their cheeses won't get contaminated with bacteria that might ruin them.
