Thanks Mateo,

After being a bit stunned by the property tax we're probably not going to retire in Texas. However we are planning a long vacation down there, maybe early next  year, to visit relatives so will still get to check out Austin and SAs gluten free options.

The Omni La Mansion hotel looks like a terrific place to stay so we may do that.

I live in Houston and travel around Texas frequently.  I have family in Austin and I would agree Austin is the top spot for Gluten-free dining.  There are options in more place than not!  Its a bit surreal at first since we are always second class citizens everywhere else.   Everyone in Austin is so accommodating and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions.   

I would say San Antonio is a close cousin and close second to Austin in Gluten free options.  The best gluten-free breakfast I ever had was at Las Canarias in the Omni La Mansion hotel on the Riverwalk.  They had Gluten-free waffles, pancakes, crepes, sausage, and even Mexican breakfast choices and desserts.  

I would say Houston is probably third on the list of Gluten-friendly cities but many options are growing.  It isn't difficult to find good gluten-free choices for dining, even in the outskirts of town.  However, we lack a lot of the boutique gluten-free bakeries that Austin and SA have.  

I used to go to San Antonio every year for my birthday since I got celiac, and my family had a collapse....sort of my way to get away since no one else cared. Anyway, I must say most restaurants only accommodate gluten free in the fad sense there...most thought it was a joke. I DID find one Asian retraunt sushizushi and I got some sashimi and something called a dashi Tamagoyaki roll sort of a seasoned egg dish made with stock, eggs, mirnin, and rolled up. And I stopped at one other place and had some breakfast dish with greens and eggs, called 5pointslocal other then that I mostly cooked in my own room but I figured I had to treat myself for my birthday. -_- going to miss taking the train down there this year, just do not have the money to travel or give gifts this year.

      Immediate Reaction

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi. It has been a while since I have been Glutened but I have had reactions to soy in the last year. But yesterday I ate 3 crisps that stated it contained just dehydrated sweet potatoes. They are not certified gluten free but I thought they would be safe. Immediately I felt like they were stuck in my throat and I had acid reflux with indigestion. I had breathing problems too. Brain fog then followed and I have today got all the aches and pains, tinnitus, nausea, sickness, D, low mood, weakness and neuro symptoms. My question is does anyone else have an instant severe reaction like this to gluten. I used to have a period of 12/24 hours before having symptoms. This was quite a shock to be so severe and come in so quickly. Thank you

      By Ashley Marie · Posted

      I have celiacs disease,  and am highly allergic to gluten. I ate Sweet Baby Ray's Original Barbecue Sauce throughout the last couple of days and have more than 10 canker sores in my mouth which is only gluten does that to me. As well as major belly pains ect. There must be trace amounts in my opionion. Which sux, cuz I love the stuff. But it just isn't worth the allergic reactions.

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @CarolTN I haven't been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis but as @Scott Adams says, like a lot of coeliacs I do suffer from itchy skin, and now adult onset eczema. The latter started during one of the lockdowns.  I find my skin is often itchy if the temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot, that seems to set it off. This time of year is bad,  I also get an itchy throat, so maybe pollen is having some effect. I am not sure where you live but here I'm mentioning the products I buy in the UK that help me - they may be available where you live? For my scalp, I have used with some success Neutrogena T-Gel, but I think Philp Kingsley's products for flakey, itchy scalps are amazing. I've used the shampoo and the toner. For the rest of my skin, I use something called Adex Gel after I have showered, and then any really itchy patches I treat with Betnovate, a steroid cream, 20 minutes later, as suggested by a doctor. I currently have some very stubborn patches around my waist, no idea what they are - Canesten anti-fungal cream makes them worse, so does Betnovate.  But when I rub the patches, they disappear, i.e. blanch, which apparently classic for dermatitis.  It's a constant challenge! When I first got eczema I had given up chocolate and was eating cakes which contained almonds.  My blood tests showed the markers for eczema were elevated at that time - the  IgE.  I felt there might be a connection. So you  may find something in your diet isn't helping the situation, other than gluten? Cristiana
