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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
