Traveling To The Knoxville, Tn Area


Three Ds

Recommended Posts

Three Ds Newbie

My parents live in Loudon, TN, near Knoxville and I'll be going to visit them next month. I've only been there one other time since I started eating gluten-free, and that was when I just started. We found one restaurant in the area that had a wonderful gluten-free menu (not sure of the name, Season's maybe?). Does anyone have other suggestions?

My mom discovered her grocery store has a decent gluten free section, but I also wondered if anyone has favorites or knows of a good health food store in the area?

Thanks!

Donna

You can get gluten-free pizza at Roman's in Knoxville. Call ahead or be prepared to wait. I'm walking out the door but I'll come back and share what I know.

Awesome, thanks! I appreciate anything you can share.

Here is some information on Roman's Pizza as posted by another. I have yet to go there. I'm about 70 miles from Knoxville and we go there several times a year to a specialist. If you try it let us know.

Also I know there is an Earth Fare in Knoxville. You can go on Earth Fare's website and search locations. I'm sure there are other places, but I am not that familure with Knoxville.

Okay, so here's what I know. :)

This is a yummy place that can make most things gluten-free. It's not too expensive, either.

Go Nutrition is at 10961 Kingston Pike in Farragut. It's a small, privately owned store with a good selection and good prices.

We have a new Pei Wei in Turkey Creek. I've never been to one but you'll hear about it on this board.

This is a really new completely gluten-free place in at 5211 Kingston Pike. It's close to Wok Hay. I've eaten there once. The sandwich was okay. The dessert was great. It seemed pricey to me.

Something Savory in Maryville, 541 High Street. I haven't eaten here, but it gets RAVE reviews locally. It's not totally gluten-free but the owner is very savvy. Really, the only thing keeping me away is that it's 45 minutes away.

I haven't eaten at Seasons but my friend and her husband love it. It's far nicer than any of the places I've posted about. I keep pestering my husband to take me there!

Hope this helps. Enjoy your visit!

Thank you both for the info! It gives me a good amount to work with for our trip!

TrillumHunter, I talked to my mom and she confirmed that the restaurant we went to on our last visist was Seasons. I highly recommend your husband takes you there! :D

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
