Right outside of Nashville is a great place that serves delicious gluten-free pizza Open Original Shared Link

Support group for the area: Open Original Shared Link - they should have resources for you if you contact them.

All the restaurants at the Opryland Hotel can feed you quite wonderfully, too.

You can also find chains like Maggiano's and PF Changs, and a Whole Foods grocery store.

Enjoy!

They do the gluten-free diet wonderfully there, so it was probably just a person who didn't know much about Celiac. I ate gluten free at the reception (prepared specifically for me), one dinner at a restaurant in the hotel, and the brunch (which I definitely recommend!) The staff couldn't have been more helpful in finding safe food for me to eat, and even made my dinner/dessert to order in the restaurant. You'll enjoy it....a beautiful place for a wedding, and the gluten free dining makes it even more enjoyable. The Opryland is a one of a kind place! You'll have to let us know how it goes!

Matteos is about 25 minutes from Opryland. It is is Franklin. There is also a Garlic Jims in Franklin and they have wonderful gluten free pizza but that might be a trip for ya'll. Green hills is an area that is closer to opryland (10-15 minutes), they have carraba's, pei wei, zoe's kitchen, trader joes, and that is where the whole foods is located. I hope you enjoy the opryland hotel it is wonderful. Im from the area if you have any more questions, I am a member of the nashville support group also so just let me know if you need anything!

Thank you both for your great ideas about where to eat/shop while in Nashville. We are looking forward to our trip. It's only been just a year since we found out about my daughters celiac disease, and so traveling still worries me a little bit! So, thanks for the information!

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
