Just curious if anyone has a list of gluten-free restaurants in Durham and/or Raleigh that they could post. I am familiar w/ the bigger chain restaurants (i.e. PF Chang's, Outback, Carraba's, Pei Wei, etc.) but I am trying to locate some other options.

I've come across the following but have not tried or called about either yet, so if anyone knows anything about either, please share your experience:

Mellow Mushroom in Durham is now serving 100% gluten-free wings??

Jibarra is a more upscale mexican/tequila lounge bar offering gluten-free food??

Hello from Raleighwood!

I have not gone to the Mellow Mushroom in quite some time... if they don't have gluten-free pizza I'm not so interested.

I have, however, been to Jibarra a time or two. They don't necessarily have a gluten free menu, but if you ask about it, your server will likely go and ask the chef. That's what they did for me. And they make just about everything there, so it's pretty easy for him to know. There was something he told me not to get b/c they didn't make it there and he couldn't say for sure. (was some sort of cheese) So, I would imagine that he could prepare something differently if necessary.

It is NOT your typical mexican restaurant. It's Oaxacan fine dining. So, if you go, it is fantastic. But be prepared to spend a few bucks. I think it's worth it though. And their drinks are FAB!

I also like to go to Neomonde. It's a Lebanese/Mediterranean restaurant. They have an assortment of salads and stuff, and some hot foods. Most of the stuff is freshly made (like made that morning). There's one off Hillsborough St and one out in Morrisville off of Hwy 54. I eat pretty well there and haven't gotten sick.

Hi,

Check out solas in Raleigh, on Sth Glenwood. We were there this week for a gluten free wine dinner. The food was awesome, the wine was delicious, and the folks there did such a nice job. Cliff Vogelsberg the executive chef really takes care if you let him know you are celiac.

Can't rave enough about it. I think everyone should know about another option for gluten free, fine dining in the triangle.

regards

At the Celiac Support group in Raleigh this past week, two reps from Bella Monica Restaurant came and brought samples of their gluten free food. They were wonderful and are very interested in expanding their line of gluten free foods. And, they asked a lot of questions about which pastas they should use and what gluten-free items the members would like to see on the menu. It was wonderful to hear that they wanted to have patrons who can not consume gluten come into their business and feel comfortable eating what they've prepared.

Here is a link to their site ... Open Original Shared Link

My family is planning to check the restaurant out in the next week or two!

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
