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!

      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!

      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
