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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too. I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy). Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis. I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs...

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.
