Gluten Free In Clayton, Georgia?

I will be staying in this town for several days soon and was wondering if there were any gluten free restaurants and/or cafes in the Clayton, Georgia area. Unfortunately, I seem quite sensitive to cross contamination, so places that have gluten-free food but don't really understand the diet or have staff who are not educated about the gluten-free diet probably won't do.

I will also be in Asheville, NC and Sylva, NC.

Asheville will be no problem. I haven't been to Clayton in several years but seem to remember it's a very small town and unfortunately I wouldn't expect to find much...I'm sure there are a few restaurants in Highlands.

We were in Clayton some years ago before going gluten-free and all I remember was country fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, veggies with corn bread, grits and gravy, etc. I wasn't looking for gluten-free food at the time so it's possible it's there.

We were in Hendersonville, NC about a year ago and I had a wonderful lunch at a little bistro-type place. You may have to look for the more touristy places rather than the diners and family-style places. This was a little place near all the art shops.

Asheville shouldn't be a problem at all.

I'm sure Asheville will be easy. I heard that there is a Dairy Queen in Clayton. Not that that is much, but can get a safe ice cream as far as I know. I love Southern food but I can't seem to find any gluten-free Southern food! Bummer.

A lot of fast-food places in Clayton have gluten-free menus. Don't know if that's your cup of tea or not. And yes, the Dairy Queen is an option there too.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
