No, but I have been told that Zeppoli's Italian keeps gluten-free pasta on hand. Haven't been there to test it or called them, though.

I don't think there are any gluten-free pizza places in Blacksburg, I might be a little hesitant to even order one if it is made with regular pizzas. The best gluten-free pizza I have ever had though is at Eats health food store in the frozen section, made by Glutino, it is amazing!

Hi. I'm new to the gluten free walk. I think I cried a little when it looked like I would need to give up so many good foods. Are there good and less expensive places to get gluten? I'm afraid to eat anything any more. I hope this gets easier in time.

It definitely gets easier, although the eating out and socializing thing will always be something of a challenge. I've been gluten-free for 8 years now.

When eating at home, there are so many things that are just naturally gluten-free. Meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, plain rice and so on. Quite a few processed foods are also gluten-free. And many things you would think you'd need to be afraid of -- hot dogs, sausages, prepackaged deli meat, bacon, cheeses -- are almost without exception gluten-free (read the ingredients or call the manufacturer).

Yes, eating out is tougher. I'd take it easy eating out until you heal, but later you can check out Five Guys burgers (no bun), the Low Carb Thickburger at Hardees, BBQ places (no bun), El Rodeo (tacos, enchiladas, guacamole), and even the food bar at Kroger (talk to the main chef). At Tech's dining places you can even find food ingredients online, although I'd guess the chance for contamination is fairly high because of the volume they cook.

Feel free to ask me any other questions.

good luck

richard

I started my gluten-free diet when in Blacksburg, Virginia. I graduated 2007 from Tech (yes same time as the shooting) and then have since left. I don't remember any gluten-free pizza places. It was nice that most of the Krogers have separate little health sections which is where I found some frozen gluten free items, like Amy's rice pizza and her cheese enchiladas.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
