Most of the chain restaurants that are mentioned on this site have locations in the area. A local chain - Austin Grill - serves Tex-Mex and they have a gluten free menu.

Do you know what area you'll be staying in. I'm not familar with the Maryland suburbs but someone might have specific suggestions for that side of town.

We will be staying in Arlington, close to the Rosslyn Metro stop.

There is a Chipotle in that area (many threads here on the pros/cons regarding cc). There is also a BBQ place called Red, Hot and Blue that doesn't have a gluten free menu but I've survived work lunches at their other locations by getting one of their all meat platters - not ideal.

Assuming you are going to take the Metro and do the tourist thing. The American Art museum and National Portrait gallery are just a few blocks north of the Mall. They are open later than the other museums (until 7 on weekdays). One block from there is both a metro stop (Verizon Center/Chinatown) and a Legal Seafood.

P F Chang's chinese and Outback Steak house are 2 chains with gluten-free options. Although I wouldn't trust the fortune cookies or condiments that PF Changs gives out with the gluten-free options.

Thanks! I will suggest one of those places to some friends. Luckily I will have use of a kitchen for all but one night.

One question about PF Changs, (we don't have one in SWVA), will there be any shellfish or peanut cc issues I need to consider?

What part of SW Va? I frequently visit family around Abingdon and am always looking for gluten free option there or along I-81.

Roanoke, it's 2-3 hrs I think from Abingdon. We have Abuelos, Caberra's (Italian), and there's a restaurant in downtown Roanoke called Nico's. If you get reservations, they will prepare a Gluten-free meal.

I am not sure p-f changs will work. My son was diagnosed with more allergies this week. We added chicken, fish, rye, and barley. Ha, ha. The doctor was surprised but I wasn't. I knew a long time ago that he reacted to rye and barley. She said there was no way he could be celiac, but tested him anyway.

As for our trip, I will be staying in a hotel. Grandma doesn't understand even the allergies.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
