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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
