Before going gluten-free on December 3, 09, I ate out ALLLLL the time! But every time I tried to eat at my usual places, I got glutened (ick!). So now that I'm starting to venture out again, I'm finding some good places that have dedicated gluten-free menu items. And I thought since Orlando is a highly visited area, maybe some of you all might have be able to use the info I'm finding - as well as share your finds.

So I'm going to start posting places as I come across them. Hope you enjoy them too!

--- The Drunken Monkey ----

A small, eclectic coffee bar/restaurant that specializes in homemade soups. Super yummy gluten-free soups change daily. They usually have around 6 soups... and today 5 of the 6 are gluten-free! They also have three categories of soups: "Vegan, Vegetarian and Meat" They are not your average soups... every one I've ever tried has been SUPER tasty and I've NEVER been glutened here. And they have great coffee and chai...

For an example of the types of soups they have, here are the current selections. Gluten Free has the *

Vegan: *Spicy Bean

*Curried Leek

Vegetarian: *Loaded Baked Potato

*Creamy Tomato Basil

Meat: *Old Fashioned Vegetable Bee

Cream of Shrimp (the only one that's NOT gluten-free)

(I'm actually sitting on one of the mismatched, comfy sofas using their free wi-fi right now! There are also tables.. it's like a little cafe...And I can say that the Loaded Baked Potato soup with a little real bacon on top is ROCKIN'!!)

Open Original Shared Link

Remember the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld? Well, this soup must've been what the Nazi's was like -- only the Drunken Monkey staff is really nice!

So if you go, tell 'em Noi sent you. I'm here a lot now. See you soon!

----- Pizza Fusion -----

Yes!! Good gluten-free pizza!! Yeay! I go here like once a week now. It's great food and I've never had any gluten problems here. The menus are VERY easy to navigate and tell what is gluten-free. They detail how they prepare the food to be truly gluten free. They take lots of precautions and I always know I'm safe when eating here.

They also have gluten-free beer (and the liquor store next door sells 6 packs of it!), decent gluten-free brownies, and they can make some appetizers (like the flat bread dippers) gluten free too.

It's located on Sand Lake Road, so it's convenient to the attractions areas.. So if you're visiting and crave some good pizza, check it out!

This is what they say about being gluten free on their website: pizza fusion (dot) com

--------

Pizza Fusion was created in the best interest of the individual and the environment. When originally designing the menu, Vaughan Lazar and Michael Gordon, founders of Pizza Fusion, wanted everyone to enjoy the good taste of their delicious food. So they did their research and sought out tasty alternatives that'd allow individuals with food allergies, selective diets and digestive intolerances to indulge at Pizza Fusion. The end result was a menu to be enjoyed by all that has made us especially popular amongst our vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose intolerant friends alike.

Gluten-Free Pizza

We cater to many customers with gluten intolerance with our gluten-free crust. We use a mixture of garbanzo bean, fava bean and rice flour to make our gluten-free pizza crust, and our sauce and cheese are gluten-free as well. Our gluten-free friends are always happy to know that they can order almost any topping, excluding only barbeque sauce and sausage. Our gluten-free pizza is one of the best on the market. Its great taste is a reflection of our dedication to using quality ingredients and spending the time and energy to perfect our products.

We also serve a variety of salads and melt-in-your-mouth gluten-free brownies to accompany your gluten-free pizza, as well as offer a gluten-free beer made from Sorghum instead of barley. There are many options at Pizza Fusion that fit the special dietary needs of the gluten-free community.

* Our Gluten-Free crust contains the following ingredients: Bean Flour, Rice Flour, Tapioca Flour and Starch, Xantham Gum, Salt, Yeast, Egg, Cider Vinegar, Sugar, Canola Oil, Calcium Propionate.

Oh! They just got gluten free BBQ sauce last month! So now you can get my current fave: BBQ Chicken Pizza.

Oh! That reminds me: on football game days, they have a special - if you buy two large pizzas (big enough for 2-3 adults) you get a third free. So I currently have a whole BBQ Chicken Pizza in my fridge for lunches all this week. Yum!!

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      I suppose it's all in how you ask the question. I just asked ChatGPT how much it would cost to resolve my gut issues the way hookworms have, and ChatGPT's response was "$15,000–$30,000/year for the most plausible UC biologic/small-molecule route, or $10,000–$40,000+/year for omalizumab-style allergy modulation". That assumes such medication actually wor...

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      My question to ChatGPT: Is purposeful Hookworm infection a reasonable treatment for those who have many food intolerance issues, including those with gluten intolerance who want to eat gluten?

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      It sounds like you have an allergy or separate intolerance to quinoa, but there is the slight possibility it was somehow cross-contaminated with wheat, even though it was certified gluten-free.

      1 Year Elimination Diet journey

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It has been a year since I started my Elimination diet from gluten. I have learned alot w/o being diagnosed (going through eating gluten for a test isn't happening) The first month or so were learning curve and I have learned to READ LABELS which are tricky as not just gluten but possibly wheat may affect you or other Gluten containing ingredients that are spelled out. I have found great protein bars w/o sugar alcohols as I noticed those increased gas. I have taken vitamins as suggested by members on this board. Started baking gluten free, when going out I have found gluten friendly restaurants. I have felt so much better since eliminating gluten/sugar alcohols. It is hard to find sugar free products but I limit myself to gluten free snacks as they have high sugar etc. I have been using Bobs Red Mill gluten-free oatmeal and One Degree Farmers oatmeal but I am looking to try some new breakfast ideas like Buckwheat or a great gluten-free cereal. Journey still continues and learning more and more.

Since you mentioned cats, it’s also worth asking about possible flea bites, mites, ringworm, or other pet-related skin issues, and checking with a veterinarian if your cats have itching or hair loss. Also, please tell your doctor about the topiramate change, meningioma, and the garlic, especially since you were told not to eat garlic. Even if your husband doesn’t see what you see, your symptoms are real and deserve a careful medical evaluation.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
