Hey Joshua,

I am not from Lexington but close. I live in Somerset about an hour south of Lexington. I am on my 2nd week of eating gluten free and finding it difficult to find many items in Somerset. I'm planning a trip to Lexington to visit the Whole Foods Market in Lexington Green.

Do you eat at restaruants much? Somerset offers very little, but I have heard of places in Lexington that offer a gluten free menu. What is your experience?

jennifer,

i know the somerset area and can see how it would be hard to find "safe" food. here in lex the best places to go for a night out are p.f. changs at the fayette mall, carabas grill which is next door and the bonefish grill in the hamburg area. these all offer alternative menus/meals. if you like sushi try tomo in chevy chase (no soy sauce). just remember that when you eat at a restaurant there are many hands in the same dish and still a chance of a "safe" eat being contaminated. swim at your own risk. however, i still love a good asian dish. as far as the groceries go i would plan your trip for an early saturday morning and go downtown to the farmers market then off to whole foods or the good foods co-op on southland drive. lately i have been going to the krogers on leestown road, they have a great little natural foods section and its between home and work for me. well, i hope this helped. have fun on the trip.

The Lexington support group has a person with the title of "Restaurant Liason". He can be contacted through their website. I was planning a trip to Lexington a while back and e-mailed him. He was very nice and got back to me with detailed suggestions for restaurants.

I live in Lexington :) I've only been gluten free since May, though, and don't have an official celiac diagnosis, but I am gluten intolerant. I don't have much experience eating out, though, and the places you mentioned in this topic so far are the only places I know of that have gluten free menus around here.

katsby,

i really don't eat out much either anymore. sometimes the risk is too much but at least some places are trying. how do you know you are intolerant? i had to go through 7 different medical practitioners until i found the answer to my troubles. have you been doing better since may or have you had some trouble?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
