I am going to LBI next weekend and was wondering if there are any gluten free restaurants or places that accomidate gluten free.

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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
