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!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
