Do you mean "Long Beach Island" in the seashore area of New Jersey?

Yes, sorry for the confusion!

I wouldn't count on finding much except the chain restaurants. We used to spend a lot of time there before my diagnosis, but going back over my memories I can't think of anything. As usual you'll just have to ask at each restaurant. If you go somewhere else like Wildwood look for Curley's Fries - they do french fries, and nothing but french fries in peanut oil, so they are superb and gluten-free. Good luck.

Ipellegr: Not to go astray, but what else in Wildwood/Crest area is gluten-free cooking? I tried to contact Two Mile Landing and they never answered my letter from 2005. I don't know anything about LBI - was never there.

The only other things I found gluten-free in the Wildwood area were the chains (and that peanut buster parfait from the Dairy Queen on the boardwalk was wonderful) with the exception of one Italian restaurant where our server had celiac disease and could tell me what to have! I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it. In general I just ate things like salad and bunless burgers and kept my fingers crossed. Since I don't have strong, immediate reactions to gluten I must have done okay because I don't remember any problems, but it's a pain to eat out for a week. We had a suite with a kitchen, so we went to the local SuperFresh and got stuff to cook and I made sure to bring gluten-free stuff like pasta and Kozy Shack puddings. Take a bottle of gluten-free salad dressing with you. On LBI I used to love the Harvey Cedars Shellfish Company for my once-a-year lobster/clam/potato/corn combo, but now I'd have to make sure to ask what it's steamed in (sometimes they use beer!) and what seasonings are on it. Ooooh, big thunder, time to unplug the computer!

Okay, the storm has passed. Here's the website of a CSA chapter that seems to be active at the Jersey Shore - they may be able to help you. Or me, next time I go down the shore.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      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.
