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

      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!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
