The family and I are heading to Cape Cod in August so I am starting to scout for some dining out options. Does anybody know of anything in the general area?

Thanks for the help!

I don't have any advice on where to eat, other than just shellfish steamed in water (make sure there's no beer in the liquid)

I love your name! Toxic wheat, love it! I thought it was funny that the scientific name for wheat is "trictum vulgare" it makes wheat sound dirty!

I had a great experience at Outback Steakhouse in Bedford, NH over the weekend. It was the first time i've ever gone to a chain restaurant and ordered off the menu with any sort of confidence. The waitress was very knowledgable and helpful. I have been to Applebees and always have the same thing - Santa Fe Chicken salad, never any problems, but how many salads can one eat while on vacation! Ditto McD's grilled bacon ranch salad.

Are there any Cape Cod locals out there with dining suggestions? How about stores that sell gluten-free groceries? I'll be there for a week, so I'm bound to run out or forget something!

Thanks in advance! :)

Eep! Just so you know, the grilled chicken at McDonald's is NOT gluten-free! Neither is the grilled chicken at Applebee's, it comes pre-marinated in soy sauce :blink:

Bummer...

They never make me sick, just a little rumbly in the tumbly - I always thought it was all that lettuce!

All the more reason to come here looking for safe haven!

Thanks for cluing me in!

I have contacted several locations at the Cape and have not had a response, as I am traveling to Mass in Sept-Oct. I have found a gluten-free Restaurant in Boston, and a cool one "Wildfire" in Chicago. So far that is all I have come up with besides the usual, Chili's, Outback, and anything steamed by itself with no seasonings at all. I also made sure that if I get a baked potato, I tell them not to cut it open, as I have had bread crumbs in the potato from the kitchen preping the plate. Good luck

If anyone else is interested, I searched the web, and it brought me back here, to some old posts for support groups in the area. The first name/email id from 9/05. I have emailed her for help. The other info is from 2004, so it may be out of date, but maybe worth a try - once a Celiac always a Celiac!

My family has a house on Cape Cod and I visit a lot. The thing is, we don't eat out that much. Hardly ever actually. What we do is buy lots of seafood at the various roadside fish shops, cook it up and eat in. Now that I'm a Celiac, we grill swordfish or tuna on the grill and serve it with lemon. Sometimes we steam lobsters. On memorial day, I pan seared scallops in butter and olive oil and they were delicious. For sides we make our own cole slaw and potato salad.

So I don't know what your visit entails -- do you have access to a kitchen or are you just staying at a hotel? If you have access to a nice kitchen, you might want to take advantage of the fresh seafood for sale along the highway. Good luck!

Thanks, that's good advice. My in-laws have friends who own a summer home in the area so we are staying there. We'll probably make most of our meals, but it's always (or it used to be) nice to eat out while on vacation!

If they sell lobster along the road count me in! (we only get zucchini and squash around here...or so it seems!)

I heard back from Margo Finell ( leader of a Cape Cod support group) and she provided the list of stores and restauants in the vicinity.

STORES –Gluten free items-

BJ’S Wholesale-- 420 Attucks Lane, Hyannis (508) 568-4035

phoneCape Cod Natural Foods 1600 Falmouth Road Rt28, Centerville,

(508) 896-5071

Dennisport Natural Market –640 Main St 508 760-3043 Chatham Natural Market 1218 Main St. Route 28

508-945-4139 Open Original Shared Link

Here are some stores that sell gluten free items----Ring Bros should have Fresh baked rolls and banana bread made by a Cape celiac who just started a business making them. Always phone to make sure items are available.

Orleans Whole Foods- 46 Main Street, Orleans 508 255-6540

Ring Brothers market place 485 Route 134, South Dennis

508) 394-2244 -Patrick or Ed

Shaw’s- Falmouth and other cape towns

Stop & Shop- Mashpee, Falmouth, Dennis, S Yarmouth

Trader Joe’s – 655 Iyannough Rd,Rt 132 Hyannis (508) 790-3008 Print their gluten-free list from their web site to take to the store as they no longer provide it.

Wild Oats Natural Foods 509 Rt 28, Harwich Port

508-430-2507

Windfall Market – 77 Scranton Avenue, Falmouth

(508) 548-0099 ask for Chris-he carries Kinnikinik Canadian gluten-free products, bread, donuts in freezer Also Ina breads from NY,and many other gluten-free items in store-pastas cookies, snacks, dry mixes,cereals ect

www.windfallmarket.com

Restaurants:

Uno's restaurant in Hyannis---just held a gluten-free dinner and everyone said it was great.--they reportedly have a gluten-free menu to help.

In Falmouth--Coonamesset Inn---a bit upscale but very good at accomodating gluten-free. I would give the 5 stars. see the website--www.Coonamesset.com

Daniel Webster Inn and Restaurant in Sandwich--again upscale but will

accomodate.

Go to Cape Cod Dining on the web Open Original Shared Link and

they will give the web sites for many restaurants in different areas of the cape . then you can contact whichever appeals to you and ask about their ability to do gluten-free safely. They are learning everyday----you still need to give instruction and be aware of what individual servers are doing etc. but it is very possible to eat safely on a gluten-free diet on the cape.

I live on Cape Cod and both my father and I have Celiac's Disease.

Windfall Market has a small but very good gluten free section as does Roche Brothers which is in Mashpee.

Coonamessett Inn is DEFINITELY familiar with Celiac's disease as both my father and I work there so the chefs and managers are quite familiar with gluten and what contains it.

The Flying Bridge in Falmouth is also owned by the same company as Coonamessett and will be familiar with it as well.

Thank you for the "insider" info!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
