Mexican Or Carrabbas?

I am trying to find a safe Mexican place to eat at. My anniversary is coming up and I would love to eat somewhere that is safe but not Outback. I am in Eastern NC and am looking for somewhere more in the Wilmington or even Raleigh area. We are also going to Costco that weekend!

Also have you eaten at Carrabba's? I know they have a gluten free menu but how is the gluten free food and service?

On The Border has a gluten-free menu but their CC statement isn't the best: Open Original Shared Link. I think Don Pablo's also has a gluten free menu.

If you can post your location I'm sure someone can come up with a local option.

Depends how much you want to spend, but there is an exceptional "fine dining" Mexican restaurant here in Raleigh called Jibarra. They don't have a gluten free menu, but the chef is very up and up on what's gluten-free or not as pretty much everything is made in his kitchen.

It's different from what most people's expectation of mexican is though. Their website is jibarra.net. They used to have a menu posted, so check it out before you decide to go there. But my husband and I went there last year for our anniversary and we loved it. They have just moved, though, from N Raleigh to the downtown area. I'm not sure if they've reopened, but depending on when you plan to celebrate, it's worth a shot anyway.

SAHM, I know there is a Carrabba's in Wilmington. I have had many great experiences there. And save room for a wonderful desert.

Most nice restaurants could broil some seafood for you as request.

I'm from NY, but I actually ate at the Carrabbas in the Raleigh area just last week. I was down visiting my sister. The waiter I had was very accommodating and I had no problems. The food was delicious. Enjoy!

      potato chip cross contamination

      Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

      Dawn, yes, once the genes that give the potential for the development of celiac disease are "turned on" so to speak, they will be on for the rest of your life. It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      PS - 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. You mentioned that your bowel movements may be a bit more regular, so this could be another indication of NCGS.

      You did not mention your age, but depending on how old you are it makes a big difference on how important it is to get a flu vaccine.

      I'm 63  Thank you for the article. I have worked with Dietitian at Mayo and also had breath testing done. They felt I was following a strict gluten-free diet along with eliminating sugar alcohol and chicory root. Also don't eat a lot meat, eggs and peppers. Because I get so sick I use only gluten-free products for my skin food medicine my pet food is gluten-free and I live alone so all my cooking stuff is all brand new prior to being diagnosed.  I buy only organic certified gluten free products and if not sure  look up or just don't eat or use. The Dermatologist at Mayo gave me a list of gluten-free products that I can use. ( personal products,  laundry detergent, I use vinegar and baking soda for cleaning ) . I ask family and friends to not bring  anything  in to my home that has gluten in it. I have tried  everything and my numbers still off the charts.   So as for the pneumonia vaccine I question if it has anything in it that will react negative in me?

It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed. Eliminating major sources of gluten from one's diet is pretty straight forward but many don't realize the multitude of places and ways gluten is hidden in the food supply and sneaks its way into our eats. So, eating "lower gluten' is easy but attaining a consistently and truly gluten free state is much harder and requires diligence. I am linking this article that might be of help to you in that regard:
