Has anyone been through Dallas Fort Worth Airport? I don't know which terminal but whichever is the international one. Did you find anywhere to eat? (I see there's a Wendy's on their website)

I haven't been through there in a while (and never for an international flight) but it looks like Terminal D is where most international flights originate.

Looking at the interactive map, you might have good luck with Blue Bamboo Xpress (japanese food, sushi), Cool River Cafe (steaks and seafood), or perhaps one of the BBQ places. Of course it would be wise to call ahead and ask questions. :)

Here's the Open Original Shared Link I was looking at.

Are you flying in or out? (Or both?)

Thanks ohsotired, I hadn't managed to find the interactive map, that's handy!! :)

I'm just changing at Dallas but I have at least 2 hours and it will my first ever experience of America, lol! so might as well make it a good one :)

You're doing the camping trip, right? Sounds like a great time!

Glad I could help with the map! When are you flying to the US?

Just thinking I might have some time in the next few days to make some phone calls for you, so you don't rack up those international charges. ;)

I'm just floored at your generous offer!! American hospitality already?! Wow. Yep that's me doing the camping thing. It is very exciting!!

You know, after researching all the likely looking restaurants I think I'll make a beeline for Wendy's & try their gluten-free menu, sushi & japanese makes me worried (soy sauce, rice wine), although Cool River Cafe at least mentions allergens on its menu (you have to look at the small print right at the end) so if anywhere that might be worth a go. Thanks anyway ohsotired, I owe you :)

I'm flying in June & flying with American Airlines so I don't know what to expect, I have requested a gluten-free meal, I hope it shows up because I've got a lot of miles to do.

Wendy's may be the best choice; at least you know you could eat a baked potato or a salad.

If I can make any phone calls for you, please let me know! I live in Dallas so it's a local call for me. :)

I've heard good things about American Airlines (my hubby travels with them all the time), but just to be on the safe side, you may want to pack lots of snacks in your carry on.

They just opened a location in the DFW airport

I don't know much more about it but I'm wondering if you can eat there even if you aren't flying in/out of the airport

Thanks to both of you for your help and suggestions. The grill place does look good. I was meaning to ask actually how people find flying with American Airlines, gluten-free-wise, do they often forget your meal or anything I should watch out for? I will try to carry snacks but it is a long time to fly from the UK to california. I'm going to behave like a camel and gorge when I can!

U Food Grill was great. I've eaten there a few times in the past month or so and haven't had any problems at all. You can get there taking their little trolley system if you're just connecting to a flight - it's all the way at the end of the terminal, but well worth the hike. I hope they expand to multiple airports soon - it's a lifesaver to have someplace safe to go when you have long layovers or flights.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By oyea · Posted

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      Yes. And then it will become part of her medical record, which was my point.
