I'll be visiting Cincinnati for 4 days and was wondering if anyone could recommend any restaurants/cafes/dining for gluten free options. Also any natural/specialty food stores. I look forward to hearing from you!

I don't live in Cincinnati but my parents do so I go there pretty often. There's a Whole Foods in Hyde Park and a company that makes delicious gluten free cheesecake and other cakes nearby. They are called Moondance bakery. There are chain restaurants like Maggiano's and PF Chang, of course. My mom (who Aldo has celiac disease) says she's had good luck eating at Joseph Beth Bookstore's cafe. They have a cook there who eats gluten free. That bookstore is in Hyde Park- near Whole Foods. If you don't live in an area with Wendy's, it's a fast-food restaurant with a pretty good amount of gluten free options. Their website has nutritional info. I hope that helps some. Have a good trip!

I second the need to visit Jungle Jims. It's a really cool store, but be sure to pick up a map to help you find everything. They have an extensive gluten free section, but there are lots of gluten free items in the international section as well. I was thrilled to find they carried a gluten free oyster sauce in the asian section the last time I visited.

Open Original Shared Link provides an overview of dining gluten-free in Cincy. For chains, I have been to the Bonefish, Maggianos, PF Changs, Unos, and First Watch in that area and they were all very educated in gluten free preparation. The only other place I have eaten in Cincy are Doc Greens and Encore both of which I really liked. You have to be into salads to like Doc Greens though.

I live in Cincinnati area and would like to hear more about Doc Greens. I've never been there but it looks very interesting. Are any of the meats gluten free?

I concur with all the restaurants listed. I always enjoy Cheeseburger in Paradise, PF Changs, and most of the Mexican Restaurants are good. I love the Tacos Rincon at Rincon Mexicano in the Eastgate area Open Original Shared Link

I am not ultra sensitive but have never had problems with their Rincon tacos or chips and salsa. There is also a Thai restaurant in Eastgate that has good Pad Thai... the steamed edemamme are excellent as an appetizer too. Montgomery Inn is another good choice.. I order ribs, saratoga chips or sweet potato, and a salad no croutons. I also eat at City Barbeque Open Original Shared Link quite often. All their sauces are gluten free. I order the pulled pork naked, fruit cup, greens, or salad. We have a lot of Chipotles and a fair number of Chick-fil-ets... I love their breakfasts.. I order fruit cup, hash browns, and sausage patty plain. I eat at Penn Stations regularly too... I order the club sandwich no bun on a bed of lettuce and a side of their awesome fresh cut fries. I also eat Skyline Chili's chili cheese fries. Hope that helps!!

Hello all!  Last night I went to Montgomery Inn - The Original based on the reviews from this site, and had a bad experience.  I took a team of 10 business members in and we sat down to order.  I asked the waiter about gluten free options, and he (loudly) snickered, "if you're gluten free, you're in the wrong place."  Luckily, I ordered the saratoga chips and salmon, so didn't get glutened by accident.

Not someplace that I'll be taking my business again.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten! Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten. I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store. The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions. I find the histamine release...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
