Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on gluten free restaurants and/or health food stores in Miami, Florida? I'm going to be visiting the area (specifically South Beach) soon and wanted to make sure I knew of some gluten free places beforehand.

Thanks!

I am not very familiar with the South Beach area, but i do know that there is a Pizza Fusion in teh North Miami area that has gluten-free pizza. When I you coming to Miami? I will try to get more infor from our local celiac support group. you can email me directly at ticap13@bellsouth.net

It has not been my experience that South beach is very celiac friendly, but maybe some of this has changed more recently? In fact, even before I went gluten free, I was never really impressed with much of the food on Lincoln road and some of it on Ocean Drive. However, all of the Publix grocery stores that I've been to have had at least some form of gluten free section, if you'll have access to cooking facilities. If you have a car, as the last poster suggested, Pizza Fusion in North Miami is good, and it's right next to a Publix grocery store. Also in North Miami/Aventura is a P.F. Chang's and a Houston's, both of which can accommodate celiacs. Also, if you'll be staying there a while, there's a Whole Foods just north of the Aventura mall (about 30-40 minutes from South Beach depending on traffic). Also, in Miami Shores (which is north of South Beach), there is a great little restaurant called the Village Cafe--you may want to call ahead to see if they can still accommodate celiacs, but when I was living in Miami Shores, I used to go there all the time for lunch and dinner, and they seemed very knowledgeable about gluten-free issues, and I never got sick eating there.

I heard that "Pasha's" in Miami beach has a gluten-free menu. Other than that I was told the usual- ask the waiter, speak to the chef, steak houses are usually a good option, etc... If I come across more information I will keep you posted.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
