hey nyorkers.... any good stuff going on city--exhibits etc? free or cheap stuff? my mom have some shows etc booked, but want some good activity ideas from the locals. we are going at end of month--25-29th.

The Sony Wonder technology lab is pretty cool. It's free, it's designed for kids, BUT there is a ton of interesting history on technology and electronics. My borther and I (31 and 22, respectively) really like it. It's a fun way to spend time. It's in the Sony building, but I don't remember the cross streets.

Staten Island ferry is free and the best way to get good photos of the skyline and the statue of liberty from a distance.

The Central Park Zoo is cheap, and it's my favorite zoo in the whole wide world! They have A LOT of penguins :) (my favorite)

Also in Central Park- Belvedere Castle is pretty cool, and free

Bike rentals in Central Park aren't too expensive.

Even the Met (metropolitain museum of art) isn't very expensive, and you can easily spend your whole day there. A whole week even.

I'll try and think of some other stuff :)

Thanks Chelsea--good ideas. Sony would be fun! I was thinking about the CP zoo too--so you think its pretty good? For about 4 years from HS to college, my mom and I got to go to NYC once a year...but its been 5 or 6 years now since. We have tickets to Wicked, can't wait! My mom just wanted some nice cheaper alternatives too so we weren't spending the dough constantly :)

The Met is where I got engaged :)

So ofcourse I suggest this. LOL!

Fudgie! Fudgie! Fudgie!

They look monstrous, but you simply MUST get one while at Risotteria. Worth the trip alone.

I've been to lots of zoos all over the country, including the san diego zoo, but my favorite by far is the Central Park zoo. It's not the biggest zoo, and it's not the most impressive, but it's got so much charm! They have polar bears, a big rainforest building, seals, lots of penguins. I've been there a million times and I never get sick of it.

I got engaged in Central Park, maybe that's why I'm such a fan :wub:

Um, beware the carriage rides early in the day...you'll smell like horses all day! :P

DH proposed on a carriage ride at 11am...by 6pm at Tavern on the Green, we were still a bit "horsey" :lol:

Totally! But even better if you pry the cookies apart, sprinkle a little salt in, and put them back together and eat it that way.

Get one to go, too! If they have cake when you're there, I'm going to be wicked jealous, though, because they never have when I've been there. The brownies are moister than they look, but as someone somewhere here said, taste a little more like a blondie (ie just not very chocolatey).

And the breadsticks - if you get those to go, you can take them home and have bread and cheese for days (if they go a little tough the next day, stick them in the oven and they crisp right up). The first time I bit into one of those breadsticks, I did a double-take like you wouldn't believe, because I couldn't believe it was really gluten-free and was looking to see if I could see any signage about it. My friend was like "is it awful?" and I was like "nooooo, I just...he did say it was gluten-free, didn't he?"

Anything interesting or good restaurants in Brooklyn? I think we are going to church at Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday...

There is a restaurant in downtown Brooklyn called Gage and Tolliver. One of the oldest restaurants in NYC. I have always loved it -- very old school, gas lighting, dishes like Oysters Rockefeller etc. Anyway, it turns out that they are celiac friendly. Check it out!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back u...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
