Headed out there next month. Wondered where is good to eat. Not a huge fan of the national chains...at least not the ones out in Utah. I don't eat out much anymore, though. Too many foods to avoid. Although I have had nothing but good experiences at Bonefish Grill, and hear there's one in Destin.

I will be bringing my toaster oven, have a fridge for gluten-free breads and snacks, probably got breakfasts covered. Just wondered about those in between times. We're staying at the Courtyard Marriott, and will be attending a convention at the Sandestin Hilton. I guess this is the Miramar Beach/Four Mile Village area.

Any feedback of places to hit up or avoid would be great.

Last time I was there was years ago and I was not a vegan, yet, so I took advantage of the sea food and ate a lot of plain, fresh fish wherever we went. Sorry I can't be more specific! Have fun!

That's probably a good plan. I love seafood thankfully, so I'll just have to take advantage of that :) Thanks!

Hi Sweetfudge,

I am here visiting Destin right now! There's PF Chang's and Bonefish, which are chains, I know. I'm about to try Fleming's tonight (also a chain, but more upscale). All three have gluten-free menus. I have heard good things about Another Broken Egg (breakfast & lunch) and have had a great experience at the Marina Cafe, where the chef is very accommodating. I'll fill you in if I find more before I leave.

Avoid O'Charley's. They claim to know what they're doing, but I was glutened there last year.

Have fun!

There is a great BBQ resturant in SanDestin called Jim 'n Nicks. If you go on their website they will email you an extensive list of your options. Open Original Shared Link We also ate at Pompano Joe's and they had wonderful seafood and were very understanding. Plus they were right on the water, so it had an authentic feel! Have fun!

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By Wamedh Taj-Aldeen · Posted

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be grateful for your thoughts.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      By LynnM · Posted

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.
