Gluten Free In Ft. Lauderdale


Daxin

Recommended Posts

DW and I are heading out on our winter getaway, and have 2 days in Ft. Lauderdale before we head out to sea. We are staying on Seabreeze Blvd and I am wondering if anyone here can tell me if there are any good places to eat near by. I know there is a PF Changs a short way away, but am wondering about other places in the area.

We will not have a car, so will be relying on taxis/water taxi/bus to get around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, can't help with your question so I hope you'll forgive my posting but please post a review when you get back. I love to cruise but haven't gone since going gluten free. I love to read about others experiences so I can make a good cruise line choice when I venture out on the high seas. What cruise line are you going on?

Thanks!

Holland America. This will be our second cruise with them since I went Gluten Free. They are more than understanding and the staff were very helpful. I was brought the dinner menu at least 24 hours in advance so I could make my selections for the following evening. If we ate at the other cafes etc, we just told them, and my bread/noodles were brought up to that table rather than to the main dinning room.

I did not get sick once. All gluten-free meals were available in the main dinning room, and they had gluten-free bread on the breakfast buffet and sandwich bar so I could go there at lunch as well. I only had to fill out a request form ahead of time. The allow me to choose enough bread/pasta/brownies/etc for the duration of the cruise and they had more than enough. There is a small charge if you go over the allowed numbers, but it is minimal.

If you want to know more, feel free to PM me and I will be happy to chat with you.

My family lives just north of Fort Lauderdale in Pompano Beach. When we go there, we have eaten successfully at Pizza Fusion and Smokey Bones. They are both on Federal Highway and would require a taxi ride, though. I'll see if I can find anything out about what's near you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...
