Chain restaurants - Carrabfa's carrabbas.com , Outback (there's always an outback around), PF Changs (there is one on Biscayne Blvd pfchangs.com Pizza Fusion (they use Still Riding Pizza's crust) Lame Advertisement

I have heard that The Melting Pot in some locations does Gluten free but I have never tried it. There is one on Biscayne. check meltingpot.com and call the location

NON-chains - FOGO DE CHAO (Brazilian in SOUTH BEACH) I have not tried them yet, I think I read about them on this forum.

I don't remember where I got this one from but want to check it out next time I go:

"While not in Miami Beach, Kris Wessel's new restaurant Red Light has just opened right on the Little River in the Motel Blu (77th and Biscayne Boulevard, Miami). His food is stellar, prices very easonable.. and he understands gluten-free -- and will make a number of gluten-free items upon request. I have already eaten there a few times. He's still in the "first-opening" stages, but he anticipates in the not too distant future to being able to offer some gluten-free breads/pastries to his menu"

Good luck and have fun.

Also, for casual (fast food but very good) on A1A (Collins Ave) in Sunny Isles - POLLO TROPICAL

check their website, it's grilled chicken, almost all their stuff is safe. Great to take to the beach too

(I've been to Sunny Isles for a few vacations)

      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.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
