:rolleyes: A new ALL GLUTEN-FREE restaurant opened ten minutes from my house! It is located at Central Expressway and Parker Road in Plano, Texas. (Plano is in the north-east corner of the Dallas area.) The restaurant is called Laura's Bistro. I had the California club sandwich and chips. The gluten-free bread was awesome. I went back with the kids. We had fried shrimp, French fries, and fettuccini. Everything was wonderful. Check out the website at www.delicious-n-fit.com. She has baked things too -- cake, pie, cupcakes. We didn't try any because we were stuffed, but we will be back weekly!

It was Delicious n Fit when it was on Parker road. Laura just moved locations next to the Pancake house on 75 the name changed to Laura's Bistro. I haven't been to the new location yet, but we went to the old location on a regular basis. She always bakes my birthday cakes every year and I buy graham crackers in bulk during the holidays for pie crusts. The entire staff is also good with additional intolerances.

I love to encourage all Celiacs in DFW to support her business. She is also very kind on top of a great cook.

It is so sad, Laura's has closed....I never got to go. I think it is really messed up that in the DFW metroplex there was really only Laura's that was completely gluten free. I have found Sublime Bakery in Fort Worth that does make some gluten free items daily, but you have to either call ahead or get there early to get anything.

I am sad, as well, that Laura's has closed. But I don't believe she's down for the count.

She's still offering baked goods on a special order basis, and I truly believe if she can find a way to come back, she will.

A case of very bad timing. I recently bought a $50 coupon for Laura's Bistro for $25 through an offering linked to our local gluten-free group. Was so excited Saturday before last on the way there, only to find it closed.

Damn the bad luck!

best regards, lm

Larry, email Laura and see if she'll honor that coupon in some way. She's still doing 'special order' type baking, just not running the actual bistro anymore.

That is such a bummer they closed down!!!! I went there once with both my daughters - we loved our meal!!! It was a good hour drive though - so not somewhere I could go frequently. I was just telling my co-worker that I wanted to go back.

:(

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
