I received replies from four persons in response to my request for  
information about Little Rock, Arkansas and Mountain Home, Arkansas. I  
appreciate the responses.  The Central Arkansas GIG website (referenced  
below) was also very helpful, providing information about local stores  
and Outback Steakhouse restaurants, and their phone numbers.  I think  
we will probably call and see how much food we can buy locally before  
we head out to Mt. Home in order to have more room in our suitcases.

This is only the third trip we have taken since our daughter was  
diagnosed and will be the longest (6 days!).  I will also be cooking an  
Xmas dinner in my father-in-law’s not-celiac-friendly kitchen.  Pretty  
scary!

Summary of responses:

There is a small restaurant in western LR called Lillie's Dim Sum.  It  
has a separate menu labeled "celiac friendly".  Their food is Asian and  
wonderful.  There is also a good-sized market with a fairly good stock  
of gf foods.  For directions it probably would be easiest to call when  
you get there if you don't know the area.

**********************
There are some local resources that can be found at our GIG website  
www.centralarkansasgig.org  The two grocery stores are Wild Oats and  
Drug Emporium. DE carries Kinnikinnick products among other things.  
These stores are about a mile from each other.

I don't eat out much. There is Outback and I have had safe meals there  
but don't expect the wait people to know about cross contamination.

I have heard that two restaurants Jasmine's and Goucho's both have GF  
foods and that the owner understands GF. I have not talked with the  
owner and have not eaten there yet. These restaurants are in the same  
building.  For Jasmine's go to

I am in Arkansas, and most of my gluten free products I find at Kroger.
They have a large selection of Amy's products, and some other gluten  
free
items as well.
