Gluten Free North Carolina - New Bern/beaufort/greensboro

We are heading to New Bern, NC in two weeks and I have contacted a few people in North Carolina but they really weren't too up on gluten-free restaurants in the area.

Does anyone know of a good place near New Bern, NC? We will be there for a week...

We will only be in Greensboro for an evening and I'm sure there is probably an Outback somewhere around that we can drive to, but I was hopeful I might find some experienced diners in the area that could offer an alternative from the limited menu's at many chains and maybe a good ice cream place.

We have found some great places in our area.. North Indianapolis/Noblesville, IN and know of a few in other states where we have traveled before.

Of course, we'll be packing the coolers for the drive but was looking forward to being able to dine out as a family on vacation... (So I don't spend my vacation cooking which is no different then being at home... :D)

We lived in New Bern for a year, up until September of '08. Not too many options (other than Outback and the usual chain options) that I can remember. There's a health food store called Nature's Basket with the usual options. If you are going to be somewhere with a kitchen, you might be able to get enough supplies there to help you out (Bob's Red Mill). Otherwise, I did find the people to be very helpful, so you might want to contact local restaurants like The Cow Cafe, a downtown ice cream shop, beforehand and ask about ingredients.

The truth is, there were so few options that we are considering moving back to Eastern NC and starting up a bakery with good gluten-free options!

Good luck.

Don't know if this will help you or not but, there is a fun site called Lame Advertisement. You just put in the area you are going to and get restaurant review for the area. They are not a gluten-free site, I have written to convince them to do this, but several of my reviews have gluten-free information on them. Their are also some yelpers that are following suit in their area's.

Also, google gluten-free restaurants and that area, usually something comes up.

[Hi, hope I am not too late. I couldn't remember my password when I first read this. lol Suggestions for Greensboro.. Bonefish Grill on Highpoint Rd. in front of Four Season Mall. gluten-free menu. Wonderful food, service, ambiance etc. gluten-free dessert too. Also, PF Chang's in Greensboro. Just ate there for my daughters b-day. Very good. Hope this helps.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are not an accurate measurement of vitamin stores within cells where the vitamins are actually utilized.  The brain will order cells in tissues and organs to put their stored vitamins into the blood stream to supply the brain and heart.  Deficiency symptoms can appear before there's a change in blood levels.   The eight B vitamins are water soluble.  That means they can get flushed out of your system easily with that Russian Roulette Running.  Some vitamin deficiencies have gastrointestinal symptoms that mimic Celiac Disease.  Thiamine deficiency has gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhea.  Vitamin C is also water soluble with gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea when deficient.  Symptoms of a deficiency in Niacin B3 include diarrhea, and a blistering reaction to sunlight.  Have a nice vacation and keep us posted on your progress when you get back! P.S. There's not a difference between being glutened and being cross contaminated.  You'll get your usual symptoms.  The digestive tract has a limited vocabulary.

      Yes that's why I'm holding off on getting tested until after the summer so no Russian roulette bathroom escapades then I will reintroduce and get tested. The vitamins aren't a supplement they are frozen fruits and vegetables that you blend with water so it's natural fruit and veggies that I have used for 5 years daily. I don't take supplements I did full vitamin bloodwork and all great levels for what I need.

      any advice would be helpful

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There's a Vegetarian version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. There are vegetables that can provide Calcium...broccoli, kale, lentils, tofu.  Talking to a nutritionist can help identify vegetables that can provide you with the minerals and vitamins you need.  Getting dietary advice is part of proper follow up care for people with Celiac disease. tTg testing is used for diagnostic purposes.  It should not be used to signify compliance or healing.

      Ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks or longer is needed to get antibody levels up high enough so that they can be measured in the blood stream and intestinal damage can be seen in the small intestines.   HOWEVER,  only THREE grams if gluten is needed to produce symptoms...like running to the bathroom.   Some people have much worse symptoms after reintroducing gluten, even with amounts of gluten much less than three grams.  So...getting glutened or cross contamination is a real concern.   You'll be playing Russian Roulette on your vacation.   If you got vitamin levels tested while taking a nutritional shake with vitamins, you've simply measured the vitamins from the shake.  You need to be off vitamin supplementation for eight weeks prior to vitamin testing.  Were more than Vitamin D and B12 tested???  "Normal" levels of these two vitamins don't mean that you're not deficient in the other eleven essential vitamins.  Vitamin D and B12 can be stored in the body a lot longer than the other vitamins, especially the other B vitamins like thiamine. Enjoy your vacation!

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Mostly because of the inconsistency/irregularity of your symptoms with regard to gluten consumption and other dietary factors. Their doesn't seem to be a real pattern. Histamines are produced by our bodies themselves but they are also found in the foods we eat and the air we breathe (pollen). Certain foods, for example, fermented and aged products, are very high in histamines. Other foods, like bananas and avocados, may be high in histamines but they also may stimulate the body's production of histamines. The body (in the gut) produces a histamine regulating chemical called DAO (Diamine Oxidase). Some people, and this is more common in the celiac community because of damage to the gut lining, don't produce enough DAO to adequately regulate histamine levels in the body. This results in histamine "storms" that produce a variety of symptoms such as headaches, acid reflux and diarrhea. So, I'm just wondering if your symptoms are tied to fluctuating histamine levels that get pushed passed the tipping point at times by various things you may be eating. Anyway, you might want to research it. I also wonder if you have IBS.
