Hi,

We're going to Atlanta next month and I was hoping to get some opinions on any Gluten-free friendly restaurants in the Midtown area. We will be staying on Peachtree St N.E. at 17th (around the High) and would love to find places within walking distance. A couple of nights we will drive to dinner, but any and all recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Debbie :)

Hmmm, there isn't much in the city. The Four Seasons' restaurant is EXCELLENT, though (and not far from the High but expensive). They will make you anything pretty much. My Mother and I went there (both Celiacs plus I am a vegan) and had amazing meals, ask for the Chef.

Most food for us is outside the city but here is a link to a list of some restaurants that have gluten-free options that the dinner club has gone to Open Original Shared Link. If you drive, go to one of the Sugo restaurants, so good, but call ahead! Cheese Burger in Paradise is also a drive and worth it! I like Three Bears Cafe in Marietta, it's a health foodish place that's a bar at night but is really yummie and they make anything really but do not have a gluten-free menu. Since they are about healthier food they get the job done but it isn't a weird place. The other reason to head there is if you are into the Civil War, like house museums, or are interested in Southern history- you can see it all there and it is near the Kennesaw Mountain Battle Field. There are a few P.F. Changs in driving distance, as well.

Pizza Fusion should open late next month, as well. It will be somewhere downtown. I eat a lot of Chinese food (sans soy sauce) so that is always a delivery option. The Whole Foods downtown isn't close to the High but they offer gluten-free goods.

Be careful around the city at night. It isn't very safe. Near the High is okay but a few blocks from it you'll find creeps, prostitutes, and who knows what. I spend a lot of time in the city at night and still get the willies! Plus, it is not pedestrian friendly in most areas. I hope you enjoy the city and feel free to PM me with any other questions about food or attractions!

I like Open Original Shared Link. It's close to 17th and would be a short cab ride.

I've lived in Atlanta for years.....I'm not really sure it's right to say that the city is full of "creeps, prostitutes, and who knows what", a lot of the city is pedestrian friendly AND safe, obviouslys it's a big city so you're going to have the normal big city issues....but I never have felt unsafe here. There are more places in the city than you realize, check this list out

Open Original Shared Link

Chow Baby is great, so is Hot Stix if you like stir fry. PF Changs and Wildfire are at the Perimeter Mall. Maggiano's in Buckhead and Blue Ridge Grill in Buckhead as well as the Atlanta Fish Market all have gluten free menus. Whole Foods, Kroger and Publix all have gluten free options. Ecco on 7th Street has some great gluten-free options, just talk to the person when you make a reservation. Gordon Biersch also can accomodate. A place called Metro Fresh on Monroe Ave is a great option as well.

Look at that list and you'll see that there are PLENTY of options in the city as well as around it. Good luck and if you need anything please let me know! I stay in Midtown.

Wow! Thanks for all of the wonderful responses. Now I have so many choices.

Gordon Biersch is our one 'regular' spot we go to every year. We go Saturday for brunch and call it 'beer & eggs' They are always super accommodating.

We used to love the City Garden (closed down sushi/Chinese/Thai restaurant) and were hoping to find another place like that. I can't wait to check out some of your suggestions.

modiddly16,

Are there any options you know of that does late night delivery?

Thanks! :)

R. Thomas doesn't do delivery but it's an awesome late night choice. I think they are open 24 hours.

Right, R. Thomas is the only late night choice that I know of. I'm actually unaware of any delivery places really....I know once Pizza Fusion opens they'll deliver but I don't know about late night.

Sorry!

The Open Original Shared Link sounds like a great place, and they're veggie friendly, too. The fact that they're open 24 x 7 makes them look even better since we are always out late when we go to Atlanta. I really hope that pizza place is open and delivers by then. I have never had Gluten-free take away pizza anywhere.

When I was there a few months ago I went to Nickiemoto's, 990 Piedmont Ave NE. It's a sushi place. I got a plate of sushi and a veggie noddle dish to share. Food was great and I have no problems with being gluten-free. It's also got this outdoor patio that's fun.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
