I have sent an email out to the festival. I am waiting on a response. In the meantime, I was wodnering if anyone knows of any items at the Texas Renaissance Festival are gluten free?

We love to people watch and eat less than healthy foods this one time of the year. There is nothing on their site that lists anything involving gluten free. This could be a stretch, but thought it might be worth a shot to see if anybody knew on here by chance.

Thanks so much!

Where in TX? Curious...

My husband and I were at Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg recently and I did find a few things there that I could have (had quite a few snacks in my backpack, just in case). They had some GREAT fried potatos that they were slicing fresh and frying right there on the spot, no additional ingredients, just the potato with dedicated fryers. And then I found another place that was selling burgers and they were very helpful with even the lady at the register walking back to the guys on the grill, being very specific that my burger (100% angus beef, no fillers) could not touch ANYTHING and he grilled it specially and walked the wraped burger straight to me. And then that night, we all four (we were there with another couple) went out to dinner. The chef even came to our table to talk to us and she understood Celiac VERY well. She put together an 'off the menu' salmon salad for me with a made from scratch citrus dressing. It was hands down THE BEST salad I've ever had in my life!

Good luck and have a great time!

The TX Renfest is in Plantersville. About 45 minutes outside of Houston.

I appreciate your input. A lot of times, I am told, these festivals use the same vendors or setups. So I will keep an eye out for some fresh cut french fries or chips. Yum.

I will also post my findings if the Renfest emails me back a response.

This lady posted another Renfest in TX with the gluten free options, so I am hoping for the same choices here near Houston.

Thanks!

Too far for me from BFE San Angelo... The potatos were wonderful (spiral cut, they were using power drills!) so if they have those, go for it! Looking forward to your report.

"The Queens Pantry Booth 8 does have gluten free food"

just in case it helps anyone.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
