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.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
