Going To Nyc

We've just decided to go to NYC next month - we have relatives there so we go fairly frequently, actually, but this will be the first time since the celiac diagnosis. Reading this board, I've already decided that we need to go to Risotteria. This is my question for those who have been already...do you think they can accommodate a gluten and dairy free meal? I noticed that the pesto has butter and the risotto has cheese and, obviously, the pizza has cheese, too. What about Babycakes bakery? Has anyone been? Is there anyplace else anyone would recommend? Thanks so much...

We went last November for my birthday. The food was great. The owner poses as a waiter and the whole atmospere is NYC. You will have a great time. I don't know about dairy though... I know their food is gluten free, but I not sure about dairy free. The risotta and pizza are loaded with cheeses.

We also had lunch at a small deli-style restaurant in the Upper East Side [near 57st Street]. I think the name was Gary and Pat's - I'm not sure - had a very good chicken fillet on gluten-free bread with fries.

Have fun and enjoy!

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
