I wanted to Thank everyone who turned me on to Risotteria in NYC! What a great place!! :D

We had the mozerella, ham, and asperagus pizza. :P Yum!! I do have to say however that I was looking so forward to having a pizza cooked in a pizza oven. I just knew it would taste like regular pizza and I would know I wasn't missing anything. It's definalty better than homemade, but still not as good as regular. But.......I don't care, it was yummy. We also had a pannini sandwich that was out of this world good! And the carrott cake was nuts great!!! I couldn't believe it. My husband said it was the best carrott cake he's ever had, and I must say I agree! :D

Also, to my great joy.....I had a gluten-free beer. Rampano I think was what it was called. SOOOOOOO good!! :lol: It was sweet, kinda like a cross between a beer and a soda. But the aftertast was definatley beer. I loved it. I think it may be my favorite beer ever. I used to drink Corona but I think I like this better. :)

Again, Thanks to those of you who recomended it!

Wendy

P.S. We ate there 2 out of the 3 days we were in NYC!!!

I'm totally obsessed with Risotteria, and whats even better- i have gotten several of my friends addicted too (none of them are Celiacs) so i get to go even more often! :D

My best friend recently moved away from Manhattan, so I've lost my best reason to go into the city, and therefore to Risotteria. But I think I'm going to go in just to eat there sometime in the next week, and of course I have a freezer full of their pizzas (I buy the frozen cheese ones and add my own toppings at home). But when my friend was there, it was SO great because even though she's not celiac, it became her favorite pizza place in the city. Or so she claimed to me. One of these times I'm going to try something besides pizza. And salad.

I've never had any of their desserts but the cookies and fudgies, so I'm looking forward to trying something else sometime.

I do wish they salted their food a little more. The cookies are excellent (I love the texture especially), but would be better with a little salt to bring out the flavor. Same with the pizzas, though those you can compensate by salting a little at the table. Minor complaint, though.

I was there last week and didn't get to try enough of their food! I had pizza and breadsticks and I wanted the carrot cake but was just too full. I have low blood pressure and use a lot of salt so I agree with the salt thing, I actually had to ask for a salt shaker and my waiter watched me salt up my pizza like I was committing a crime!

But the food was great.

That happened to me, too! I actually asked for the salt for my salad, and then shortly after my pizza arrived the waiter asked for the shaker back! It's like, people! Salt is a flavor enhancer! In salad, it brings out the tanginess of the dressing. In pizza it brings out a range of flavors. In desserts it brings out sweetness and other subtle flavors. It's not a crime!

Seriously, since then I just bring some packets of salt in my purse.

But this is a minor, minor complaint and I'm totally going an hour into the city tomorrow JUST to eat at Risotteria.

I dont think they do it but you could always get a panini instead...or risotto.. i wish they would make more dairy-free stuff though (like soy cheese or something on the pizza)

Where is this place in the city? When I come in, I take NJ transit into Penn Station. I would love to go there. I only live about 40 minutes outside the city and would love to go.

Take the 1 or 2 Train from Penn Station to Christopher Street. It's a few blocks after you get off the subway. I forget the cross streets, but when you get off the subway walk towards Caliente (this large Mexican restaurant on the corner a few blocks up) walk down the same side of the street that Caliente is on and Risotteria will be block or 2 up.

One taste and you'll be addicted!

OMG I'm so full!! We went to Risotteria for lunch today. I ate an entire pizza, a ton of breadsticks, a meatball and I brought a cookie back to work which I just polished off. I think someone is going to need to roll me home tonight!

jen- not sure what exhibits will be around that time, but will let you know as it gets closer... If you are looking to save a few $, the MOMA has free admission on friday afternoons- but you will have to get there early as the line obviously gets pretty long...But the MOMA is awesome. If its nice out while you are here, its always fun to spend some time in the park- theres always stuff to do there and its free :)

I cant think of anything else right now but remind me as it gets closer, im sure i can come up w/ some more ideas for you. (and obviously you know you should go to Risotteria at least once a day, right :P )

You can also take the A C or E from Penn Station to West 4th Street. Risotteria is 270 Bleecker Street, at Cornelia Street I think.

Heck yeah once a day!! I think my mom is concerned that we are going to be running all over the city all day going from one gluten-free menu to another!!!! I am making up a spreedsheet with all the names, info, addresses of restaurants I want to go to--so I'll be very organized :)

MOMA is definitely on the list...thnx for the admission tip. I'd love any more ideas once you hear of things going on that weekend. Anything interesting or good restaurants in Brooklyn? I think we are going to church at Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday...

I think there's also some sort of gluten-free, veggie restaurant thing... Kristina (Mysuicidalturtle) went to a restaurant when she was in NY, which I believe was in Brooklyn... you should ask her about it, I don't remember its name, nor have I been to it.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
