Colleen,  here I sit  in Pittsburgh, Pa  thinking  not much here to offer a gluten-free  person!.. I do like  the  Raisin Rack in Canton..... & Columbus  has a big Whole Foods not  that  WF has  a lot  of  gluten-free....We also like  Jungle Jim's  in Cinnci....

Do you know  of any  extra tasty  gluten-free  restaurants  in  Columbus? Don't  know  if  you live  in that area....

I really don't know of any.  I only head to Columbus for Dr. Appts. at OSU.  I'm an hour north.  On facebook, look up the Gluten Free Gang (GIG) Ohio.  These peeps know everything gluten-free in Columbus and Surrounding areas.  I'm in a relatively small town that has nothing gluten-free to offer outside of the grocery stores which I'm ok with because I dread leaving the house...lol.  You can find me on FaceBook also, I'm a member of "The Gang".

Hi Colleen  I'm not on fb...  I  do have  the places  "the gang"  suggests  just  thought  you may  know  of  newer  ones....I don't  sit  in a big  gluten-free  mecca  area either.... so  while  I'm in a  big  city  I  buy  lots of things  I  can't  find  else  where...

We  don't  have  stores  like  Anderson's  , Jungle  Jim's, meyer's  so  it is a treat  to  check them  out for  things  other  than  gluten-free  food  ....we have  small Whole Foods  about an hour  away...

      Baking cooking keeping costs down?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I have seen alot of great recipes but when it comes to gluten-free flours its pricy for 3lbs of gluten-free flour. I also noticed increase in sugars in gluten-free products recipes. What have you been using to lower sugar contect and keep costs down in purchasing gluten-free ingredients to bake/cook yourself.

      Salads the safe bet? Chick Fil A grilled chicken

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It appears when ging out with friends to a restaurant that doesn't have Gluten free menu salads appear the safest bet worst case scenario. I also read CHick Fil a Grilled chicken is gluten free and you can ask for a gluten-free bun.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks so the blood test will tell if I need to take endoscopy to check damage done? The villi grows back over time. I am on elimination diet and don't feel like eating gluten for 6 weeks to take the blood test since I have vacations planned with my family and would love to feel good for the summer then after I will go for it. Eating 10g of gluten for 6 weeks I know I will have the running to bathroom moments again and cant probably deal with it easier during that time frame. I didn't realize cross contamination and have been really watching. Since I wnet for physical my blood was fine as far as vitamins etc. So I think I don't have malabsorption of nutrients vitamins.  I have been taking a protein shake from Revive for years to increase protein, fiber vitamins nutrient intake so I feel that has been helping. Thanks for the insight. Do you feel different when taking gluten-free cross contaminated? I have read about some items claim gluten free but may bother you when out at restaurants especially so I am trying to see if I encounter a cross contamination or a gluten product that said gluten-free. Thanks

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks I figured that much as a dietician won't be of much help. Since summer is coming and in 6-8 weeks I will be on vacation with my family I think I will maintain my gluten free diet and not get tested yet as it appears eliminating glute is helping me and for a test to say your right isn't going to hep me much. Does eating gluten vs. cross contamination do you feel any different? Reason I ask is to see if I ate something cross contaminated or that had gluten. I have been using FODMAP to track everything I eat which is an excellent app tracks your feeling, bowel movements etc. I remember I could go out and eat french toast without any issues then somedays eat regular oatmeal and maybe right after go to the bathroom or 2hrs later need to go. Since elimination gluten from oatmeal much better. however in 3 weeks that I eliminated gluten I had 2 instances of diarrhea and unsure if contributed to increase in fiber intake. I am also lactose but have eliminated dairy for yeas as well.
