We are planning a family trip (10 or so of us) to NYC for next Nov. to see the Macy's parade among other things. Does anyone know of a good hotel on the parade route that we could book a room in with a view of the parade so we don't have to be on the street? I know they book up fast, so we're tyring to book now for next year. We really need a suite set up if possible since we have at least two Celiacs and we'll need to store some food. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Thanks Jessica. It was my sister's idea. We were going to go this year but decided to wait so maybe her kids can enjoy it too. I already have a list of places to eat in NYC that is too long for the trip! I'm so jealous of you New Yorkers up there! To have a bakery and a place to order pasta, pizza and beer. You guys are just plained spoiled! :lol:

We are going this year and in looking around for hotels I found this website which lists hotels on the route.

Hi,

Great idea but be prepared to spend a lot of money. I'm drawing a blank, but right now all I can think of is The Millenium, and I think possibly the Marriott Marquis and W Times Square.

Sadly I've lived in NY my whole life and only been to the parade once. But it was great. We actually watched from my friends office and we were eye level with the balloons. It was soooo much fun, and the perfect way to watch.

Make sure to go the night before to watch them blow up the balloons.

Hope you have a great time!!!!

Thanks and I know it's expensive for a room with a view of the parade. The lowest price I see this year was $499 and that wasn't for a suite or room with a kitchenette. Same room without a view was $349. We may end up a a B&B which we prefer anyway and several in Greenwich Village (and other areas) have mini kitchens for less than $300/nt. This will mean we'll have to leave at 5:30 to find a spot on the street and stand out in the cold but I know how to bundle up like an Eskimo (sp?) and keep warm. I think one B&B I liked was very near the park so that would be cool to walk down and see the balloons being blown up. Thanks for mentioning jkmunchkin.

Hi Tiffany--

Sorry I missed this! When we go to NYC, we usually stay at the Marriott Marquis--although it's been a couple of years since I've been there. I love the location--in the middle of everything, and the main reason we go is for the theatre.

It is expensive, but convenient and very nice. We just park the car in their garage, and take cabs or walk the whole time we're there.

We've never gone up for the parade, but love to go during the holiday season. :) I'm excited for you!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
