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.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
