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.

Thanks! I came across the CDB Southside restaurant, is CDB Southside, the same restaurant or by the same owner? Anyway I couldnt click on menu from the website to check it out, but I will try again.

thanks

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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
