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?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
