I heard you, Lisa!!! I can't remember if you ever visit the Roanoke area?

It's not gluten-free heaven but it's much better than it once was, that's for sure. But I also think the original poster might want more than just gluten-free info.

I am really looking for an idea of what the area is like.

I since I would be visiting often (possibly moving there at some point )I would be interested in outside activities (hiking trails ect..)

My daughter is mainly interested in the housing market and schools ( she has young children). She is looking into the college in Lynchburg for her self.

Of course gluten free restaurants ( she is also gluten free) and the best places to shop .

Any information about the area would be appreciated :D

I can't really tell you a whole lot about Lynchburg. My sister lived there for several years and really didn't like it at first but it grew on her. Being the home of Thomas Roads Baptist, Liberty University, and Jerry Falwell, it has quite an evangelical flavor, but you also find all kinds since there are three other colleges in the immediate area. I can't tell you much about eating gluten-free there, except that there is a place that has gluten-free pizza. They also have Kroger, which seems to carry more and more gluten-free stuff.

The Roanoke area has tons of hiking opportunities since it's on the edge of the Appalachian Trail and the Jefferson and George Washington national forests. The Blue Ridge Parkway also runs through the area.

I don't know where your daughter is coming from but the Roanoke housing market is inexpensive compared to many areas. We live in the city and were perfectly happy with the schools, but a lot of people flee the city once their kids get through elementary school. There's more poverty and kids with extreme needs in the city. I'm not wild about the city's middle schools, but I'm not wild about middle schools in a lot of places. That's a tough time for kids in general.

Lynchburg has some decent shopping while Roanoke has the largest mall in the area, Valley View. Neither one compares to what you'd find in a larger urban area. I know some folks are excited that we just got a Kohls. Gluten-free wise, Roanoke definitely has the edge shopping, and it has a number of restaurants that I trust to do a gluten-free meal. If it matters to you, both towns have Single A professional baseball, although it sounds like the Lynchburg one might be leaving. Salem, which borders Roanoke, hosts a number of college Division III national championships.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
