I will be going to Tampa, FL for the first time in a few weeks. I'm staying at a hotel near the airport. Does anyone have any suggestions on Celiac safe restaurants nearby?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Cindy!

There is a PF Chang's at the Westshore Mall which is maybe 3 minutes from the airport. We also have Pei Wei, Outback, BoneFish and Carrabas nearby. Very close to where you will be. If you have $$$ and want a really nice place the Capital Grill at International Mall has a gluten-free menu. Or Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

Enjoy your stay!

Almost everything at Chipotle is also safe. Just stay away from the tortillas and chips and ask them to change their gloves before making your salad or burrito bowl.

There is a restaurant called CDB's Southside Italian Restaurant. The owners niece, I believe, has Celiac. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They do not carry gluten-free pasta, but will make any meal gluten-free. Also, if you call a day in advance, they will make you a gluten free PIZZA!!!!

Maggiano's also has a gluten-free menu. They carry gluten-free pasta. Also, if you go at non-peak hours, you can bring your own breadcrumbs, etc.... and they will make you whatever you want. The chef ALWAYSl comes out to your table to talk to personally take your order and to make sure he understands your specific needs and desires. They always make me something that's not even on the menu! (I really like my pasta with a ton of veggies! ;- ) )

I hope this helps a little. Enjoy your trip!

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
