Hey --

I just saw something online about Legal Seafoods having a gluten free menu... has anyone gone & tried it? They didn't have a menu available online, but there is one close to me in Chestnut Hill that listed a gluten-free/wine-pairing dinner in July that I missed!!

Let me know if anyone has tried it. Thanks! Have a great day...

i have been there both in NJ and in DC. each time i've gone i've gotten very good service. the manager comes out and serve you personally. they seem very serious about dietary problems and understand cross contamination issues. plus the food is fantastic! i recommend the calamari (they bread it with corn meal) and the lobster casserole, which has gluten free bread crumbs!

THANKS! Yum, Lobster casserole & calamari sound amazing!!

That's nice to hear about the manager too, I also have found when I mention the issue, people are very helpful... I had a chef in a small restaurant look up all the stuff I was going to order on-line to make sure it was gluten-free before serving it to me! Such a nice guy!!

Hi - They do have a gluten free menu but we haven't been to Legal's since my daughter's diagnosis. We used to go a lot, though, and have always loved it. As for the gluten free food/wine pairing, I didn't go but I did see it advertised in the Boston Globe.

I have been to the Brookline and Braintree locations with yummy food and no problems. Have fun!

I ate there many times last year while visiting on business. It's awesome!

Hi there,

Yes, they most certainly do have a celiac menu available! I just was recently diagnoised and I went to Legal Seafoods in Garden City, NY with my folks. They gave me a regular menu. As I was scrolling through the front page, I noticed all the way on the bottom, in bold letters it said "Celiac Menu Available". I had a such a huge smile on my face. I actually got a stuffed lobster. Instead of their traditional ritz cracker/seafood combination stuffing, they use either gluten-free breadcrumbs mixed with seafood or a brown rice/seafood combination. Either way, it was quite delicious!!! Now if only they made their new england clam chowder gluten free (sigh).

I know the Massachusett's Legals also have the same celiac menu... since I visit there quiet often to visit family.

Either way, enjoy Legal! I know I do B)

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
