Okay so me and the BF decided to go to the city on last thursady. We went into Penn station (w 34st) and the walked up to the Museum of Natural History (w 81st) we could have taken the subway but it was such a beautiful day that we decided to walk. After the museum we went down to (w71st) where Sambuca was located.

I walk in and asked about the gluten-free menu, and the manager happened to be standing right there and he was like sure here you go and sat us right away. It was an italian style meals and the food was AMAZING!!!!!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO GOOD! We ended up just eating right from the gluten-free menu because it was family size porpotions. We orded a chicken dish and a pasta dish. we did feel slightly under dressed, but its okay because it NYC and people expect that because of tourtist. The meal was about 85 (including tip) for two people and we only ordered two glasses of wine. We also ended up spliting the dessert. It was this amazing chocolate brownie!

The entire meal was amazing even the bread was great. So at the end, he puts these two mints on the table and I asked him is that gluten-free and he was like we called them and they can not garuntee that it is.....so the dumba$$ that I am I pop it in my mouth. We let me tell you by the time I got back to Penn Station, I felt so sick. And now 3 days later I still feel horrible.

I would def. go back there in a heartbeat and if anyone does go DONT EAT THE MINTS!

I have eaten at Sambuca several times pre-dx and always loved it. When I was first diagnosed and found out they had a gluten-free menu I was so psyched. I actually have yet to go there since being diagnosed but I will. :)

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
