Gluten Free On Nantucket?

I'm going to nantucket next week and although we eat at home a lot on the grill I was wondering if anyone has eaten out anywhere there. I know there are no chains there.

Many restaurants on Nantucket are gluten friendly and will accommodate your needs. However, that being said, two restaurants really stood out for me during my last vacation. For a quick, delicious breakfast or lunch, The Green is the place to go. They offer gluten free rice wraps for a yummy breakfast wrap (eggs, cheese, bacon) or afternoon burrito. I was blown away that my burrito was gluten free--it was amazingly delicious. They also offer make-your-own smoothies and raw juices. So good! All of the ingredients are organic and fresh. In addition to their regular menu items, they also offer a couple gluten free pastries/baked goods that change daily. For example, a gluten-free scone or blueberry muffin (and it actually tasted like a blueberry muffin!). During my week-long trip, I visited The Green 4 times--twice for breakfast and twice for lunch.

For a nice dinner, Corazon del Mar, a tapas restaurant, is a great choice. They actually have a designated gluten-free menu--the only one I encountered on the Island. Like all nice restaurants in Nantucket, it is pricey but delicious. I recommend the Mexican Street corn (you gotta try it--creamy with great flavor) and the roadside roasted chicken. Great, gluten-free experience!

I have had great luck at the Green as well.  So fresh and yummy.  This year the Brant Point Grill at the White Elephant has started to get into the game.  I went there when my parents were in town.  I normally do not spend that kind of dough on a meal.  But I went and thought I would have to spin the wheel and hope for the best.  Super surprised when they brought me a GLUTEN FREE MENU!!  It was a smaller version of their menu with options.  Just thought I would pass it along.

      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.
