Key West Gluten-free?


Mtndog

My husband and I are leaving next Saturday for 5 nights in Key west and although I'm sure I can stuff myself silly with grilled seafood, wondering if anyone has been there recently and has suggestions.

I'd like to take day trip by boat to snorkel and usually they serve sandwiches etc so I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions about where to get a lunch to bring along. I can bring gluten-free bread and do a pb&j but would rather have something tastier.

Thanks in advance!

Well now that I've gone and come back I can answer my own questions!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Places in Key West that were accomodating:

1. Mangoes (Duval Street)- Ate there twice. Super accomodating and DEE-licious! Had grouper for dinner and they made a delicious grilled chicken, monterey jack and bacon wrap with mango chutney into a salad for me. They have an insane stuffed baby iceberg salad- bleu cheese, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, vinaigrette. Will dream about it!

2. Fogarty's on Duval- Went there for Superbowl. had a Southwestern salad. They were gluten-free savvy.

3. Martin's and Banana Cafe (on Duval street) for breakfast- great omelettes at both!

5. Skip Jacks (Duval again)- had amazing scallops with very flavorful rice, asparagus and a mango beurre blanc sauce.

6. Strip- at the Reach Resort. We stayed here and I had salads and for dinner one night, boneless spareribs with garlic greenbeans. Yum!

7. La Trattoria (Duval)- best meal we had. I had shrimp and Florida lobster tail with rice and vegetables. It was by far the best meal we had there. My husband doesn't really like fish but decided to try the snapper dish and LOVED it! I don't know what they use for spices, but my mouth was doing the happy dance!

Fora wrap to go, Help Yourself, a little stand, has gluten-free wraps!

Overall, Key West gets two thumbs up for gluten-free!

I've been gone, but I love key west! glad you got to go!

I was not gluten free when I went, but would like to recommend Blue Haven, they were very accommodating for our party. Many restaurants on the island have reals chefs who use fresh, real food without all the additives artificial ing. most places use & they are very friendly people down there.

      Thank you both for your input! trents: yes I completely agree, it's simple anatomy. The walk-in doctor I saw even said to me, "you cannot get exposure or get sick if it only got in your respiratory system" to which I replied, "If I inhaled it, it's in the mucous I swallow that leads to my gut." I was honestly baffled I had to explain that to her. Thanks for your comments! Scott Adams: Thanks for your advice, yes I agree I think that's ultimately what I have to do especially while times are getting tougher in this current economy! Hopefully I find something new and equitable or better, in a quick manner! Please send prayers and best wishes for me to find a new job quickly, I wore the N95 masks today...

      Parent-to-parent, I hear your exhaustion and worry loud and clear – what you’re describing goes far beyond typical toddler troubles. Your daughter’s screaming night pain, terrible bloating, stalled growth, and constant infections are textbook red flags for celiac disease or another serious gluten-related condition. While her blood test came back negative, there are critical reasons not to rule it out yet. First, celiac tests are notoriously unreliable in kids under 3 – their tiny immune systems often don’t produce enough antibodies to register on standard blood work, especially if she wasn’t eating consistent gluten beforehand (which you mentioned was a struggle). Her iron deficiency alone is...

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
