Kerri, I am from south Union County (need northern Central NJ) and find that there's nothing available. We are planning our 25th Wedding Anniv. party and two big catering places turned us down when I asked if they could provide a gluten-free meal for my husband, the man with the 25th Wedding Anniv. I finally found a place that can do a buffet for everyone but him. He'll get his own baked plain chicken w/plain mashed potatoes. The party is in July so hopefully they will come thru as they promised.

We used to go to a diner each weekend but that's has stopped when he got the celiac disease diagnosis. I spoke with the owner and he's not too eager to get involved. He never heard of celiac disease; we might try a fish restaurant in Cranford as they seemed interested in serving the meal properly (Marino's). My husband isn't anxious to go out to restaurants as yet, he's newly diagnosed and scared that they'll make a mistake.

Some people in this forum say that Outback Steakhouse is celiac disease friendly. So you might want to go out to the highway (Route #22) and check them out.

Where are you in Central NJ? Do you go to a support meeting? We'd like to go but it's too far (Dover -Morris County or New Brunswick). It's not that it's far, but the back up on Rts. 280, 10 & 46 for Dover and Rt. 18 area for New Brunswick is terrible when you are traveling from my place. The traffic, as you know, takes up the travel time.

Thank you so much. I am sorry that your husband hasn't been able to find any places to eager to help him. I am in Old Bridge Township. So I'm about 30 minutes from New Brunswick. I would like to go to the support meetings but like you the commute is horrible!! I guess I will try the Outback and see. We go out to dinner usually once or twice a week. I know I will not be going out that much anymore but it is nice to know that there is somewhere I CAN go. Thanks for the info!

Hi! I'm originally from Union but now live out in Somerville. My son has celiac disease. We eat out pretty often. Houlihan's is always great. He gets a cheeseburger no bun of course & instead of the french fries they give him corn chips & tomato slices. He loves it! We've been pretty lucky usually when we eat out & explain what he needs, the waiter/waitresses are very helpful. I find it's best to go at off times when the restaurant isn't so busy. Then the wait staff can focus more attention on our special needs! Good Luck!

A little further south in Mercer county, there is a PF Chang's near Princeton and an Uno in Hamilton, both of which are chains with gluten-free menus. Otherwise not much. The Blue Bottle Inn in Hopewell marks their menu items when they are gluten-free and they know what it means. Brothers Moon in Hopewell usually has some things that are or can be gluten-free. As for shopping, there is DeLiteful Food on Quakerbridge road with all kinds of foods for special diets (gluten-free, Weight Watchers, diabetic) and a Whole Foods, Wegman's, and Trader Joe's on Rt. 1 near Princeton. And a Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Ewing!

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
