We are traveling there for a week at the end of March. It will be a low-budget trip and we'll be able to bring some foods from home and do most of our cooking in the house we'll be staying in. Any information on restaurants that do well with special diets or health food stores would be appreciated. My son is Gluten-free Casein-free and mostly soy free and very limited on dyes.

Thanks!,

Marsha

Hopefully you can see this before you get to Gulf Shores. I live in Foley just north of there. There are several chains in the area that offer Gluten Free menus. Outback, Lonestar Steak House, Chik-fil-A are a few. As for the local mom and pop style places I'm still finding out myself. I just found out I have celiac last week. Just call before hand and ask the managers is all I can suggest. Most of the places are really friendly anyways.

There is a Health Food Store in Fairhope, AL (about 30 minutes away) on HWY 98. There is also a nice cafe next to it in the strip. The cafe is called the Sunflower Cafe. I like the gluten-free shrimp wraps there.

I'd reccomend checking out the shops in downtown Fairhope for a day anyway. If I find anymore places I'll let you know.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
