Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on gluten free restaurants and/or health food stores in Miami, Florida? I'm going to be visiting the area (specifically South Beach) soon and wanted to make sure I knew of some gluten free places beforehand.

Thanks!

I am not very familiar with the South Beach area, but i do know that there is a Pizza Fusion in teh North Miami area that has gluten-free pizza. When I you coming to Miami? I will try to get more infor from our local celiac support group. you can email me directly at ticap13@bellsouth.net

It has not been my experience that South beach is very celiac friendly, but maybe some of this has changed more recently? In fact, even before I went gluten free, I was never really impressed with much of the food on Lincoln road and some of it on Ocean Drive. However, all of the Publix grocery stores that I've been to have had at least some form of gluten free section, if you'll have access to cooking facilities. If you have a car, as the last poster suggested, Pizza Fusion in North Miami is good, and it's right next to a Publix grocery store. Also in North Miami/Aventura is a P.F. Chang's and a Houston's, both of which can accommodate celiacs. Also, if you'll be staying there a while, there's a Whole Foods just north of the Aventura mall (about 30-40 minutes from South Beach depending on traffic). Also, in Miami Shores (which is north of South Beach), there is a great little restaurant called the Village Cafe--you may want to call ahead to see if they can still accommodate celiacs, but when I was living in Miami Shores, I used to go there all the time for lunch and dinner, and they seemed very knowledgeable about gluten-free issues, and I never got sick eating there.

I heard that "Pasha's" in Miami beach has a gluten-free menu. Other than that I was told the usual- ask the waiter, speak to the chef, steak houses are usually a good option, etc... If I come across more information I will keep you posted.

      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?

      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:
