Where in Long Island will you be?

Withouth knowing specifically what town or area, the one suggestion I can make is to go to Mama's in Oakdale. Even if you're all the way at the other end of Long Island you have to go there. It is and Italian restaurant with an enormous gluten free menu and so amazing!!! I drive an hour and a half from Westchester to go there.

There are plenty of Outback's around, and there is a PF Chang's in Westbury. I also went to a party for a Christening at Cafe Baci in Westbury a few months back and found them to be very accomodating.

I know Philly has Mr. Ritt's bakery, which I've never tried but heard it's great. Unfortunately I don't know anything about restaurants there but I'm sure someone will.

I live in Dix Hills which is western suffolk county.. oakdale isn't too far.. thanks! I will have to look that up! I've been to Outback and loved it. Do they have gluten free entrees or do you have to speak to your server about what you can and cannot have. PF Changs. I have never been there. Westbury also, isn't that far.

Mr. Ritt's do they specialize in gluten free items?

thanks!!

My hubby & I tried Buddakan on Chestnut Street in Philly last month. It's on the pricey side, but it was our "date night" out w/out the kids, so we didn't mind. :lol:

Just let the server know you need a gluten free menu and they will bring you their listing of what's gluten free (pretty extensive). I'm vegetarian as well and usually don't have a lot to choose from, but the list was good sized. Had the creme brulee for dessert and it was yummy! The lobster fried rice was really good too.

Have not tried it yet, but heard that Rx in Philly has a g.f. menu as well.

Take care,

Maureen

We've had good experiences at Maggiano's (gluten free pasta) and at the White Dog Cafe (very understanding chef.) Good luck.

Mama's in Oakdale is great. They have a large and delicious gluten-free menu.

Cafe Baldo in Wantagh is also good. There is an Outback in Merrick and a PF chang's in Westbury.

At Outback, PF Chang's, Mama's - pretty much any restaurant you go to that has a gluten-free menu, just ask when the hostess is seating you for a gluten free menu.

And yup, Mr. Ritt's specializes in gluten-free baked goods.

I actually have friends that moved from Dix Hills not to long ago. DH is from Long Island, a lot of my friends live out there and I went to school out there so I'm pretty familiar with all of Long Island.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
