An Englishwoman In New York - And Philadelphia

Hi, I regularly visit NYC and Philadelphia for business reasons, but this is my first time as a sufferer of celiac disease (well, actually not the first as a sufferer, but the first since my diagnosis) I know a few good restaurants that would probably work to accomodate me, but any recommendations on shops that sell gluten free foods as well as restaurants that you know are accomodating would be deeply appreciated.

I am also happy to offer advice on gluten free survival in the UK for anyone who might be visiting!

Marianne--Welcome! I live in New Jersey, outside Philadelphia. I know that there are several Whole Food Markets around the Phila. area. Are you going to be staying in the city? If you let us know the approx. area you will be visiting, we can steer you to the nearest store :)

Hi Patti

I am staying at 17th and Walnut in Philadelphia, I guess fairly central. I have been recommended to a gluten free bakery in south Phila, but any further advice would be gratefully accepted!

Thank you so much!

Hi Kathy

thank you very much for the restaurant recommendations - one of my great joys in lfe has been eating out in NYC!

Yes this is very late response to your post but I'm going to Philly this weekend and was just browsing the internet for some good gluten-free spots. I found Mr. Ritts Gluten-free Bakery at 709 E. Passyunk Ave in the heart of South Philadelphia. The website is www.mrritts.com. I've never been but look forward to stopping by when I'm in town this coming weekend. I was hoping I could find a place that does vegan Philly Cheese steaks without gluten but thats a tough one!

HI - I do not read this site very often and I just saw your post. But if you travel for business, I assume you will be making many trips to NY. There are many great places in NY. A favorite is a very small place in the East Village called Risotteria. They have gluten-free pizza, breaksticks, desserts, risotto, and gluten-free beer!!! It is tiny and very popular. I also like to eat at Bistango on 23rd and 3rd. Ask for Anthony - he is great! They will make most pasta dishes on the menu with fresh gluten-free pasta (of course not the prebaked items like lazangia but the choices are still many). I would also suggest that you check out some of the bloggers. celiacchicks.com is a great site and they tell of gluten-free happenings going on plus have a list of restaurants they have tried. For a wonderful market, try Whole Foods Markets. There are 3 now in Manhattan. The one in the Time-Warner building in Columbus Circle is fantastic. There is also a nice one in Union Square. Look for the items in the Gluten-Free Bakery. They are sometimes in the freezer section. This line was started when one of their bakers, Lee Tobin, was diagnosed as celiac. Whole Foods built him a separate and dedicated bakery to use. Have fun!!

There are many restaurants in New York that accommodate a gluten free diet. Some of my favorites are:

Asia De Cuba - They have an entire gluten free menu that includes a lot of different fish, meat, and duck entrees, as well as, several salads. They also have a very good chocolate cake for dessert that is gluten free. (There's one in London too)

Nobu 57 - They do not have a gluten free menu. However, they are very aware of what gluten intolerance is. They are the only place so far that I've found that their sushi rolls don't contain malt vinegar. I've dined their several times and have never gotten sick. (Again, there is one in London too)

Risotteria - This is the legendary gluten free restaurant of NYC. It has pizza, paninis, risotto, breadsticks, cupcakes, cakes, cookies, etc.

Mozzarelli's - A pizza parlor that sells gluten free pizza by the slice.

Zen Palate - A vegetarian restaurant that offers several gluten free options.

The best grocery store to go to for gluten free foods is Whole Foods. There are several locations of this store throughout the city (Columbus Circle, Union Square, etc.)

Jamba Juice - A juice store that has many different types of gluten free juices and smoothies.

Many Ice Cream Stores offer gluten free ice creams (Ben & Jerry's , Ciao Bella, Haagen Daaz, etc.)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
