Does anyone have a recommendation for a gluten free dining spot in Sarasota, FL? I'd love to find a couple places, so I can book a hotel by them.

Thanks,

We flew into Sarasota and stopped at a Friendly's near the airport. They lived up to their name - very Friendly! The waitress asked the cook about the mashed potatoes and he brought out the box so I could read the label. I ended up going with a bunless burger and it was very good, and the sundae that followed was tasty too. We also ate at a Bennigan's but I didn't realize the steak came with fried onions all over the steak.. I sent that back only to have it come back out with fried onions under the mashed potatoes. argh! We ate at Whole Foods too, and they made me a yummy sandwich (no bread), as well as had quina salads and a freezer full of baked goods. We stayed in Venice and went to the Crow's Nest... yummmmmy!!

We went to the Florida Aquarium, a very cool place to visit... and they made me a sandwich on lettuce instead of the bread. Everyone there was helpful, you'll have a good time!

Hi, I live in Sarasota and have just started this process... there is an Outback steakhouse on Rt 41 and a Carrabas on Stickney point Rd into Siesta Key (corner of 41 and Clark rd) BUT... last weekend I went to a very fine restaurant called Zoria's on Main St in downtown Sarasota and they catered to me very wonderfully. The sous chef and owner both came out to meet me and discuss my options. Their menu is online and they have a raw food menu that is perfect for appetizers, but I think they would be happy to give a main course option as well... they serve Haagen-dasz vanilla ice cream as a dessert option and the owner was very excited about a raw food option that involved a ton of chocolate, as well... it was great. I ordered a filet with steamed asparagus and the chef made a red wine sauce especially for me, obviously gluten-free.

Any of these place are within 10 minutes of Siesta Key, if not less.

I wanted to mention that there's a fantastic gluten free bakery on Siesta Key....right behind Capt. Curt's restaurant. It's called Island Ice cream and Gluten free bakery and their desserts and breads are delicious. The key lime pie is the best I've ever tasted! The only ice cream that's gluten free is vanilla, but all their baked goods are gluten free. The owners are so nice and fun to talk to and really understand since one of them is gluten intolerant. As far as restaurants, there are quite a few chains that have gluten free menus. I ate at the Outback and had no problems, the staff was very helpful. Hope you have a great time on your trip!

Hi!

The Selva Grill in Sarasota is a fantastic restaurant (it ranks in the top 100 restaurants in the US.) It serves Latin American food, which includes many dishes that you can safely eat. Ceviche and dishes that have manioc.... Enjoy!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
