Hi Ya'll

I was just wondering is there any gluten-free restrauants in or any restrauants that offer gluten-free in the DFW area preferrably the Arlington area.

Thanks Donna in Arlington TExas

I live on the OTHER side of the world of DFW-out by Plano. This place is in Plano and everything in the resturant is gluten-free and a lot is Dairy free. It was the best sandwhich and well worth the drive from Arlington if you have the time. The staff is also very knowledgable about food allergies and such and were very good. You can also order from them online if you have a special event.

The second link is my life saver.

I hope this helps you some. I really like Delicious-n-fit and with it being local owned, I like to try to support them any way I can.

red hot and blue has many gluten-free things, theres one on collins and 30.also, logans by the northeast mall is great, i always get a plain steak with no seasoning or anything and a baked potato. They also don't use crutons in their normal salad, and as long as you get it without cheese or bacon you're good. and, chipotle on collins!

Hey Donna,

I have visited Delicious-N-Fit in Plano on two Saturday afternoons for blue cheese hamburgers. It was so satisfying to be able to bite into a real burger on a real bun (albiet a somewhat unorthodox one) that someone else cooked.

It is a small unassuming place with a surprisingly ambitious menu. They also have a separate room stocked with various gluten-free products such as flour mixes, cake mixes, cookie mixes, etc., and frozen items that they bake and offer for sale.

best regards, lm

LM,

I just noticed you are in Wylie. I live out that way also. There is a Taco place on Highway 78 called Tacos y Salsa. All their tacos come on corn tortillas. We ate there all the time before I was gluten-free, because it was the one place that "didn't make my stomach hurt" I still eat there at least once a week without problems. The owners is extremely nice and usually there and willing to answer any question you have about the food.

Bad me, I have never actually checked the ingredients, (I should I know) but I have never gotten sick from eating there.

Kat,

And the best part is, they have a very nice selection of 100% agave tequilas! I'm a big tequila lover. It's actually more than a taco place. I was surprised how big it is inside. But I understand they expanded a while back.

I talked to the manager at the new Asados (between Wyle and Sachse), and he assured me they use corn tortillas also for their enchaladas and no wheat flour in the chili sauce. We haven't tried it yet, but my co-workers have been there several times and like it. They have a nice menu, with items such as quail, etc.

If your ever over on Greenville Ave in Dallas, I highly recommend the enchaladas at Cowboys Chicken. They are very different, more of a southwestern taste than a tex-mex, and are to die for. Three corn tortillas filled with their rotisserie white meat chicken (cooked in an open brick oven), and covered with a delicious white/light green sauce. A little spicy, a little tangy, and a lotta flavor! I don't know what kind of sauce it is, it may have cheese ?, avocado ?, cilantro ?, I don't know. The chef assured me there is no wheat flour in it and I have had it twice lately with no reactions.

best regards, lm

That is good to know on Asada's-I have heard it is really good. And I am excited about Cowboy Chicken-I work right off Greenville and used to enjoy it before.

The story behind the "Taco Place" is when they first opened two years ago, it was literally 3 tables and the salsa bar-about a 1/4 of what it is now. He has actually done two expansions, and at least one menu expansion.

What is your favorite tequila? I am a Don Julio Repasado fan and when in Los Cabos-Cabo Wabo B) Is Taco y Salsa's margarita mix gluten free? I have been craving me a margarita........

Also, if you like fish-Fish City Grill will cook anything dry.

Don Julio is good, I was given a bottle of the repasado for my birthday (can't bring myself to pay $40-$50+ for a bottle of anything). I've aquired most of the really good stuff as presents.

I discovered "real" tequila about 10 years ago while making numerous working trips to Mexico. The 100% agave tequila was still mostly undiscovered by the general public here then. Of course it was much cheaper then, especially in Mexico.

My favs are El Tesoro, Chinaco, Centinela, Don Julio, Casa Noble, Heradura. I've recently bought a bottle of La Cava De Don Agustin reposado that I enjoyed. Also aquired three bottles (one of each type) of Fina Estampa. Not available here (or Mexico), it's imported by an Oregon Co. I got it from a New Jersey distributer (pm for details). It's very good.

Have you tried Sotol? It's different, I use it in margaritas (mixed with other tequilas). Nicely packaged, yet very reasonably priced. It's technically not tequila as it's made from wild harvested agaves. But it is 100% agave. Goody Goody has it for $23. Hacienda De Chihuahua Sotol reposado (also blanco & a

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
