So at the end of June I am off to a conference in Orlando. My husband and I will have 2 free days to ourselves and we are not doing the Disney kind of things. Any gluten free dining places or stores around that area? Thanks!!!

Winter Park is nice. A set of in-laws live in Mt. Dora which is a neat little town about an hour north of Orlando. There is an Italian restaurant in town that will prepare gluten-free food. I think it's Vincent's. Mt. Dora is pretty small and I think there is only 1 Italian place in town. We eat there quite a bit and I've never had any issues. I only order the fish and don't know if they carry gluten-free pasta but I was going to discuss that with the owner next time we are down there.

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that Chamberlin's Natural Food stores carry LOTS of gluten-free food items. They have 6 locations in the Orlando area. The largest store is in Winter Park. Let me know if you need more info. :D

I know you said you're not doing Disney BUT if you want a fabulous first-class meal go to Downtown Disney (free admission, free parking) and go to the Portabello Yacht Club. They have excellent food AND they carry gluten free pasta. It's very easy to get to. I would recommend getting reservations though. Downtown Disney isn't actually very Disney at all and it certainly isn't super kid-oriented. That's one of our favorite places to go in Orlando. Have fun in Florida!!!

Yeah you should actually consider doing some Disney things. Most of the restaurants in the Disney parks can do gluten free food. You should call ahead and make a reservation and tell the phone reserver about your allergy

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).

      Decreasing tTiga?

      If was eating less gluten between tests, it could account for the change in test results to false negative, but given all you shared celiac disease is the most likely explanation.

      Decreasing tTiga?

      Thanks for the information. I get not using a biopsy to diagnosis. In fact, when we had the original biopsy done, my husband and I were very hesitant and didn't understand the need for it. The doctor kept telling us it was the only way to diagnosis Celiac, yet also said there's no other diagnosis that would have given her positive EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA results...

      Gluten free flours

      It’s tough when dietary needs collide like this—you’ve mastered gluten-free baking, only to hit another hurdle with your husband’s potato allergy! Since you prefer smoother textures (and oat flour is hit-or-miss), here are a few potato-free flour/blend options to try: Cup4Cup (Multipurpose or Wholesome blend) – Their standard version is cornstarc...

      If was eating less gluten between tests, it could account for the change in test results to false negative, but given all you shared celiac disease is the most likely explanation.   I also would try to avoid an endoscopy done on a child, especially given the positive blood test results along with symptoms when she eats gluten (tiredness is definitely one of many symptoms). If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, this is another indicator that she likely has celiac disease.

      Thanks for the information.  I get not using a biopsy to diagnosis.  In fact, when we had the original biopsy done, my husband and I were very hesitant and didn't understand the need for it.  The doctor kept telling us it was the only way to diagnosis Celiac, yet also said there's no other diagnosis that would have given her positive EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA results.  So, we didn't understand.  Her biopsy came back negative, but because she wasn't even 3 at the time, the dr said she didn't want to go too far down into her system, and it was possible the damage was there and just not biopsied.  So, still no clear answer, which was frustrating. I'm confused now though with these results.  Why did her EMA-IgA results suddenly come back negative after the first 3 tests all showed positive?  And why is her tTG-IgA going down?  Could it be as simple as lab error?  Does the actual number matter, or the fact that it is so positive tell us everything we need to know?  I don't want to scope her again.  She has no symptoms that we can pin point to Celiac, but also aren't sure of what we don't know.  Is her tiredness a symptom that we just aren't paying enough attention to?  If we decide these results are enough, and start taking away all gluten products, how will we know if it is truly Celiac?  Another bloodtest in 6 months with lower tTG-IgA numbers could mean the diet is working, but couldn't they also decrease on their own like they did this time?

      It’s tough when dietary needs collide like this—you’ve mastered gluten-free baking, only to hit another hurdle with your husband’s potato allergy! Since you prefer smoother textures (and oat flour is hit-or-miss), here are a few potato-free flour/blend options to try: Cup4Cup (Multipurpose or Wholesome blend) – Their standard version is cornstarch-based, but avoid their ‘Plant-Based’ blend (has potato). Better Batter Original – Rice- and tapioca-based; great for cakes/cookies. Anthony’s Goods Cassava Flour – Neutral taste, works well in blends (try mixing with a bit of xanthan gum). Namaste Perfect Flour Blend – Tapioca/sorghum base, though some find it denser—might work for heartier bakes. If you’re up for DIY blends, arrowroot starch + sorghum or brown rice flour can mimic potato starch’s binding. Texture preferences are so personal, so it might take some experimenting—but I hope one of these clicks for you! Would love to hear what works if you give any a try. We also have some recipes for your own flour mixes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-flour-mixes/ Happy baking!
