Gluten Free In Miami, Florida

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.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
