:angry:

My wife was recently diagnosed by Dr. Spellman (Providence, RI) with Celiac Sprue disease. Does anyone have any ideas or links?

Also, does anyone in the Providence, RI, area know of any good restaurants we can go to?

:blink:<_<

Hi - Welcome to the board!

This is a great place to learn, and to find fellowship in what you and your wife are going through. Read through the messages or serch for answers to specific questions. I know it is all so overwhelming at first, but it will get easier. :o

I'm in Maryland, so I can't help you with your local restaurants. Even if you do find a restaurant that has a gluten free menu, or states that they can make your food to order - be careful. Contamination is a big issue. The food can not be cooked on the same grill or in the same fryer as food containing gluten. Education is important too - even getting a plain salad can be hazzardous. Remember to tell the waiter NO CROUTONS. If they forget, don't just pick the croutons off - send it back. Some salad dressings are not gluten free.

Feel free to ask any questions that you have. Everyone here is in this together. I have only been diagnosed since April and have learned so much. Without my friends here, things would have been so much harder.

Thanks everyone! :)

This entire website is a "one stop shop" it's all you really need in the celiac world to get you started. There are links all over this site to other useful sites and lists. So, you have started in the best place possible!!! You have this great message board support group and the rest of the website with the gluten-free shopping mall to order products and articles to read and many many useful links.

Glad your wife finally got the diagnosis she needs to get better. I was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago and according to my husband, I am now a completely different person (for the better)...

Welcome! And get your wife involved in posting on this site too, it is an invaluable resource!

:) Hi, I'm from Colchester, Connecticut, but work in Providence a couple times a week. Yes, your lucky there are three restaurants in your state that serve gluten free meals. Carrabba's, Legal Seafood, and The Outback. I think all are in Warwick.

It is a good idea to go on-line to get their gluten free meal choices before you go. I was just diagnosed this past October and my husband and I have been to The Outback and to Legal Seafood. Both were great.

How are things going? It has been tough for me to make the huge adjustment in diet. My husband, Richard, has been bery supportive. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 8 months ago. We worked together to beat his chronic disease and he's doing very, very well. We've learned support from your spouse can make a huge difference in making it through.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
