Hi - Just called Risotteria and they said they can't really accommodate a gluten and dairy free meal. So, I'm trying to find another alternative. I looked on www.glutenfreerestaurants.com (thank you for the link!) and found Sambuca (for dinner) and Peter's Gourmet Diner (for breakfast). Has anyone been to either of these restaurants? I'm open to other suggestions, too. In our group, we'll have one that's gluten and dairy free, another that's dairy free and a vegetarian. Thanks!

I've eaten at Sambuca's several times, and have never been disappointed. The only drawback (and this is nitpicky) is that they have only one type of gluten-free pasta--elbows. I believe that this is so that they never confuse the gluten-free pasta with the wheat pasta. They will bring gluten-free bread to any table at which one or more people are ordering gluten-free food. The servings are huge--a family serving will serve at least 3 people, and even a single serving is enough for my wife and me to share, when we are also sharing a salad. The waiters have always indicated whether their specials of the day are gluten-free, or can be made gluten-free. Sambuca's is a stress-free place for me to have dinner with my wife before going to a performance at Lincoln Center, which is just a few blocks south. You can get to it easily by subway by getting off at the 72nd Street Station (I believe it's the #1 line) and walking east towards Central Park, just a couple of blocks.

If you want something very casual there is Slice, a pizza place that has gluten-free pizza crust and casein-free soy cheese.

The website is www.sliceperfect.com

I have never been there...but have heard good things about it. I have heard though that the gluten-free pizza's are expensive and take an extra 40 minutes to make...so that you should call ahead and place the order for the gluten-free pizza before you get there to eat...

I don't have a problem with dairy so I can't promise these suggestions are good, but another Italian place that I love is Lumi. I've reccomend this countless times on this board.

I actually have yet to try Peter's or Blooms but hopefully they're great.

I eat in a lot of restaurants that don't necessarily have gluten-free menus. I think in NY the wait staff is used to all sorts of funky requests so to be honest I've yet to have a waiter/waitress even flinch with my laundry list of restrictions and requests when I order. I've even had several ask me mid-ordering if I have a gluten intolerance.

I don't know if it's like that a lot of places but I often feel very lucky I live in NY.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
