Going to Worcester, MA for the holidays. Other than chains restaurants, wondering what restaurants and markets are gluten-free around there? Thanks! :P

Check the web for Outback Steakhouses in the area, and Wholefoods has all of their store locations by state listed on their site. That's the best way. Look up Henry's, Boney's, and Trader Joe's, as well. When you get in touch with one place, ask them to direct you to other health food stores in the area.

I live in worcester-hopefully this will help:

1) outback in auburn 10 minutes away

2) two restaurants: 111 Chophouse and the Sole proprieter (sp) are owned by the same folks and have done well by me when I explain my needs. Most (all?) or the salads at the Sole dont come with croutons anyway. I get the greek salad, a piece of grilled fish (no sauce), sweet potato, and veggie (no sauce). They have a flourless choc cake which I dont get b/c i dont know if the pan if floured. I get the flan.

3) Living earth health food store at intersection of park and chandler has a lot of gluten-free stuff

4) shaws supermarkets in this area have a natural foods section and tend to have gluten-free stuff

more ?'s let me know!

I got glutened a couple of months ago in the Outback in Auburn - be careful!

My daughter goes to school at Holy Cross in Worcester and we eat there a lot. 111 Chop House and the Sole Proprietor are good, but pricey. Try Brew City - it's right across the street from the 111 Chop House. It's more of a neighborhood bar/restuarant, but the food is good and they have always been very good about listening about my gluten-free problems.

Usually broiled scrod, but tell them you're on a gluten-free diet and that they should leave the bread crumbs off. I think last time I had steamed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes with it. I've eaten there four or five time since I was diagnosed and I've never had a problem.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.
