Wanted to post a few things about some awesome Gluten Free / Caesin Free foods I found around Austin. I'm pretty excited about them because its so hard to find somewhere that will cater to food allergies. So if you're ever in Austin these are some GREAT places!

Whip In

-This place has the largest selection of beer in Texas. Seriously. They also have a small selection of gluten-free beer from time to time. They always have Gluten Free Cider in stock, though, and mead, so I have options when I go there. It's awesome for some groceries too ( cheese, hummus, chips, instant soups; mostly snack type foods ). They carry wine, mead, cider, sherry and bubbly too. It's a mom & pop store since 1987 and their son has a store right next door with other types of alcohol available.

Whip In is now serving Indian Food in take away containers. Currently they are awaiting their permit to serve alcohol and wine by the glass with dinner, but for now you can nuke it at home! Their first menu is labeled "June 2008" so maybe it will change with the months or seasons, which would be nice. They also cater to vegan and vegetarian crowds. I was able to eat the vegan options with no reactions, so I was happy. Thomas ate with me and he felt it was great as well.

My only complaint was the stew that is on their menu is not very stew-ish. It was served with rice, like the other dishes, but it didn't have liquid in it. I know stew is thicker than soup, but there was no juice or whatever. It was still very good. Plus side? The veggies weren't soggy at all! Tasted fresh.

-Didn't call before we went (which I should do w/ allergies) but they were still just as catering to our group. We ordered a vegetarian sampler plate called Atakelt Beyaynetu which is all their vegetarian dishes. Everything there is served group style, so it makes for great date food or good for families and friends.

What I really like about this place is they use spices differently than we do. Cinnamon is a perfect example. We use this on toast, in pies, cereal - mostly sweet applications. They made Fasolia Wott

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
