I just e-mailed them a little while ago to see if any of their soups are gluten-free (and will ofcourse post the response when I get it); but does anyone happen to have any info.

I'm starving, and craving hot soup for lunch.

Last week I was in Hale & Hearty Soups in NYC. I spoke to the manager and he told me to look at the card on the back of each soup which lists ingredients. I had the white bean with spinach because all of the ingredients looked fine. I also think the tomato with rice was OK. I look forward to seeing what the company reply is.

P.S.

Ruby Foo's restaurant (Bway & 70's) has a gluten free menu. I ate there and apparently the cook's mom has celiac.

OMG seriously, Ruby Foo's has a gluten-free menu!! That's hysterical. I work about a block or so from there. To be honest working in Times Square (or NY in general) we make fun of all those places but sometimes you just have to give in. I smell a group lunch at RF tomorrow!! LOL!

I haven't heard back from H&H yet but will post when (if) I do.

I'd love to hear which Hale & Hearty soups are gluten-free too! And I'd love to hear about experiences eating out at Ruby Foo's. (I too work in the Times Square area.)

Keep us posted, please!

Ok so here's the response from Hale & Hearty. While Andrew was very polite he doesn't seem to know much about what we can and can't eat.

Response from Hale & Hearty Soups

Thanks for your email. I checked with our chef and although I cannot guarantee which soups do or do not contain gluten, I can tell you which soups would have specifically wheat, barley, rye or oats. As for wheat, I think flour would be the main issue and the only soups that contains white flour are our gumbos. We do use corn flour in some soups (typically soups that also contain corn) and I believe any soup with pasta should be avoided. There are also a number of soups that contain corn starch, which I do not know if it is a problem. As for barley, soups that contain barley are labeled as such (wild mushroom barley, chicken barley, etc.) Lastly, rye and oats are not specific products we use in any of our soups, although I guess it is possible that some ingredient could contain them. You can always ask a server for the list of ingredients in any of our soups. I hope that was helpful. Thanks again.

wow, you guys, that sounds great! I live in NYC too, and have enjoyed their soups. Plus, I never had a reaction (or one that I am aware of).

speaking of food and restaurants, have you tried Peters?????? I found this place and LOVE it. Theres a gluten-free Menu. I have had their pancakes, and I eat the chicken cutlet parmisan (Not the correct spelling, forgive me!) with pasta, sauce and garlic bread. Amazing. I eat there regularly with my fiance and he eats off the gluten-free menu too and loves it. The owner knows us.

Any other good places in NYC?

I've been meaning to try Peter's but haven't made it there yet. I've been to Risotteria a few times, which is awesome. A few of us are meeting there next Friday, Dec. 9th after work around 6:00. You should join us.

I know Sambuca has a gluten-free menu and I actually loved that place before finding out I had celiac disease so that's another one I've been wanting to get to.

Check out this link for restaurants that have gluten-free menus.

I find most places to be really accomodating.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten.

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
