Key West Recommendations

I am traveling to Key West in April and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where to eat? I'll bring some food with me for the hotel for snacking (cheese, rice crackers, nuts, peanut butter), but for daily lunches or dinner, just wondering if anyone has recommendations? The few postings I found on this topic were quite old. I appreciate your help!

We are going in May and I was wondering the same thing! Please let me know what you find after you get back. We are renting a house w/ a kitchen. Good luck!!

Google Key West Restaurants...but do it quickly. Google will shut down at will tomorrow in protest (watch your news tonight) B)

Try - TripAdvisor.com they have a few restaurants listed with reviews. Also on the way down there is a Public's food store in Marathon and just before Islamorada. Let us know how your trip goes. We are going later this year for a week.

Key West is our favorite vacation destination on the planet! We LOVE it there. That being said, I haven't visited since I've been diagnosed but in all honesty I don't think you'll have ANY problems. There are SO many good restaurants and so much seafood available. I know the next time we go I don't even feel the need to research beforehand where I can eat.

For happy hour to go Alonzo's A & B Open Original Shared Link which is right on the water. During happy hour the appetizer list and drinks are 1/2 price. We also LOVE the Schooner Wharf Bar Open Original Shared Link The last time we went our favorite place was Mangia-Mangia. They make their own pasta, but I just looked at their menu and there are plenty of gluten free options available too Open Original Shared Link

You can also go to the Eaton Street Fish Market and order whatever you want out of the case and they will prepare it for you. Last time we were there I got several stone crab claws and pink shrimp and took it back to our room and stuffed my face. Open Original Shared Link

If you're looking for a place to stay I can't recommend the Key West Bed & Breakfast highly enough. We won't consider staying anywhere else. My husband has stayed there at least a dozen times over the years. Open Original Shared Link

Hope that helps!

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply and links, Wheatwacked. Definitely some food for thought. However, I would point out that your linked articles refer to gliadin in human breast milk, not cow's milk. And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies also indicate the amount of gliadin in human breast milk is miniscule and unlikely to cause reactions:  https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-peptides-in-human-breast-milk-implications-for-cows-milk/ I would also point out that Dr. Peter Osborne's doctorate is in chiropractic medicine, though he also has studied and, I believe, holds some sort of certifications in nutritional science. To put it plainly, he is considered by many qualified medical and nutritional professionals to be on the fringe of quackery. But he has a dedicated and rabid following, nonetheless.

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
