I will be going to Tampa, FL for the first time in a few weeks. I'm staying at a hotel near the airport. Does anyone have any suggestions on Celiac safe restaurants nearby?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Cindy!

There is a PF Chang's at the Westshore Mall which is maybe 3 minutes from the airport. We also have Pei Wei, Outback, BoneFish and Carrabas nearby. Very close to where you will be. If you have $$$ and want a really nice place the Capital Grill at International Mall has a gluten-free menu. Or Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

Enjoy your stay!

Almost everything at Chipotle is also safe. Just stay away from the tortillas and chips and ask them to change their gloves before making your salad or burrito bowl.

There is a restaurant called CDB's Southside Italian Restaurant. The owners niece, I believe, has Celiac. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They do not carry gluten-free pasta, but will make any meal gluten-free. Also, if you call a day in advance, they will make you a gluten free PIZZA!!!!

Maggiano's also has a gluten-free menu. They carry gluten-free pasta. Also, if you go at non-peak hours, you can bring your own breadcrumbs, etc.... and they will make you whatever you want. The chef ALWAYSl comes out to your table to talk to personally take your order and to make sure he understands your specific needs and desires. They always make me something that's not even on the menu! (I really like my pasta with a ton of veggies! ;- ) )

I hope this helps a little. Enjoy your trip!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
