Hi, I'm new to the celiac world and just trying to learn more about safe rest. I wondering if anyone new of any local restaurants in Tampa, Fl that are gluten free, have gluten free menus, or natural items that are gluten-free on the menu? I have only been gluten-free for about 3 1/2 weeks and have no really ventured out to restaunts yet. I love Italian food and would really love to be able to find an Italian restaurant in Tampa.

I actually currently live in Northern NJ so any insight on any no chain gluten-free restaurants in NJ is much apprecaited as well.

thanks in advance for the help! :D

Hi! I am from Tampa so I hope I can be of some help. Tampa has the typical chains with gluten-free menus: Outback, Carrabas, Bonefish, PF Changs, Maggiano's (great gluten-free pasta!), Chipotle (a bit risky), and Chic-Fil-A (also a bit risky). There is also a local restaurant called CDB's. The owner has a Celiac family member and will be able to talk you through the menu and feed you safely. Call ahead just to make them aware. Also, if you give them 48 hrs. notice, the owner will make you a gluten free pizza! I haven't tried it yet, but it is nice to have that option. Other than that, Publix, Whole, Foods, and Abby's are grocery stores that carry some gluten-free products. I hope this helps.

Yes, CDB Southside is owned by the same person as CDB's. I ate at CDB Southside the time I went there. Enjoy!

You should check out Leeroy Selmon's. I visited Tampa a couple weeks go and had a great meal there! They have a gluten-free menu with plenty on it. It's my understanding they're owned/operated by the Outback ppl.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
