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.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
