I've to Lake Placid before, but never gluten-free. Does anybody know of any gluten-free eateries up there? I'll be there for a week, so I'd rather not live out of my suitcase/lunch box. Thanks in advance.

there arent any gluten free restaurants, to my knowledge, however, there is a good Steak & Seafood restaurant right in downtown lake placid that I have been able to find things to eat, and they have been very accommodating in the past. Unfortunately, we have to stay away from their micro brew!. Its a very busy restaurant, so like anyplace else, stay away from peak times, etc.

Also, a little out of lake placid, toward saranac lake is a Char-Pit BBQ. I haven't been there since becoming gluten-free, but I would imagine that would be ok for us.

Thanks, I doubted there was a gluten-free restaurant :( . I Have been to the Adirondack Steak & Seafood restaurant before on a prior trip (pre-Dx) the food was great and the beer too. I still have the beer glass in my cupboard!

I loved the Adirondacks, I wish I were a little bit closer (and in prime hiking shape :P )

Not REALLY far (about an hour), but far enough that the people I'm going with won't want to join me :(

That's such a beautiful area--I wonder if the Mirror Lake Inn is still there? My husband and I used to like to eat dinner there.

Ok, so I leave on Sunday 11/5 and I'm still not sure of where I will be eating. :( I HATE out of town conferences :angry:

Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried contacting the celiac disease support group in Plattsburgh (about an hr away). I haven't heard back yet. I have a feeling I'll need to roll the dice when I get up there. If anybody has any ideas PLEASE let me know.

Thanks! :)

I think i may have found a place to eat. I received this response from the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid. We'll see how it turns out :huh:

"Thank you for your email. Our Executive Chef Sorgule and his entire kitchen staff are very informed and knowledgeable about all allergies especially gluten. I do not see that you have made a dinner reservation with us at the time during your visit. When you do make a reservation and when you arrive for dinner, we will be happy to speak with you and arrange a special meal for you.

Thank you and we look forward to you dining with us.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate contacting us!"

Just a follow-up in case anybody else has the opportunity to visit this wonderful village...

I dined at the Mirror Lake Inn on two seperate occasions with no difficulties at all. I had called ahead and alerted them of my special diet (and made an early reservation). The server on both evenings was a wonderful young woman named Nicola - who, it turns out, has a son with a terrible dairy allergy, so she was very understanding (and got a nice fat tip!). The food was delicious, it is an upscale restaurant - as an appetizer the chef sent out (and i kid you not in the least) a plate the size of a saucer with a half a strawberry drizzled with chocolate, and a cucumber chunk (about the size of my thumb) drizzled in balsamic :huh: It was delicious, but weird - i actually felt the need to cut each of them lest i look like a Neanderthal!

I also at eat a place called the Charcoal Pit. I was expecting a real red-neck BBQ place with all sorts of ribs and such. The place is actually owned by a Greek family, and has more of a Greek menu. They do have some BBQ but it is by no means spectacular. I had a steak and potato. The waitress and kitchen were very accomodating and asked a bunch of questions to make sure what came out of the kitchen was safe.

The conference was an entirely different story. On my registration they (hosted at the Crowne Plaza) inquired about any special dietary requirements, but had absolutely nothing inplace to accomodate. They did have vegetarian meals available, but nothing for gluten haters. :angry:

I was wondering how you made out on your trip, Richard. I'm glad you were able to eat safely and well at the Inn. Strawberries and cucumber--interesting :P

No, half of a strawberry, and very little cuke! :huh::o:o:P

And the silverware was extra large also...try cutting half a strawberry in half with a butter knife the size of spatula :lol:

I'm glad to be home. Learned much, but this diet business is just too much work on the road <_<

My parents have a house they rent out in Jay Ny near Lake Placid. There is 360 degree views of the mountains, including White Face. They rent it out cheap any time of year. If anyone is interested PM me and I will get you the info.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
