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

Noreen

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!

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
