I think this is the primo health food store on Long Island. I don't know if you have a WholeFoods, Henry's, Jimbos, Trader Joes..... Google them. My friend goes to Wild by Nature and says they have loads of gluten free foods.

:) Welcome to Long Island. I shop at Trader Joe's in Merrick, there is also one in Oceanside. You can also go to Fairway in Plainview, they have a larger selection there. There is also Wholefoods in Manhasset.

Cafe Baldo is a Gluten free restaurant and they make gluten free pizza. They are in Wantagh

Hope this helps.

I actually live in Westchester, but DH is from LI and a lot of my friends live there so I am there pretty often. The absolute best restaurant with a gluten-free menu ever is Mama's in Oakdale. I drive like 1 1/2 to go there, that's how good it is!!! They have chicken parm, mozzarella sticks, baked clams... every normal Italian dish you could want and it taste AMAZING!!

Also, Earth Remedies in Wantagh has TONS of gluten-free products, including the most incredible rainbow cookies you will ever have. They have a lot of stuff that you can't normally find in like Whole Foods too, like Glutino bagels, Ener-G sesame pretzels, Namaste cake mix, etc.

I went to the PF Chang's in Westbury a couple months ago and wasn't that comfortable there. They seemed to be a bit clueless. THe one by me in White Plains is much better.

Yes, everyone pretty much got them all...

but also in Plainview (down the block from Fairway, wich is the best!).. B-Well Naturally... I LOVE this store! they have SO many gluten-free items.. it's a whole foods store, and they even sell gluten-free baked ziti, Lasagna (both w/meat and w/out)... that they make there! their chicken salad is WONDERFUl also!!

They also carry the HARD TO FIND new George's gluten-free Pizza! It's expensive for such a little pizza, but it's SOOOOOOO good!

I basically shop btw Fairway and B-Well I hit one, then the other... they're both on Manetto HIll Road.

There is also a Trader Joe's right by there on S.Oyster Bay Road, and a New Whole Foods, on Rt. 107 in Jerricho, but I have found that not much gluten-free stuff is there, and it's very pricy!

If you live in Suffolk, Wild by Nature (like someone said above) is Awesome as well!

Earth Remedies in Wantagh is really good too! Definately as jkmunchkin said, the cookies are AWESOME! also about PF Changs, they wree totally clueless in the Westbury one... BUT , Outback in Westbury is AWESOME! (also in Merrick)

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
