Avoid "202" In Chelsea Market Nyc

So I went to NYC this weekend to visit a friend, and I had some fantastic meals and had no problems anywhere except for this place (I think it was on 16th and 9th in Manhattan). We called ahead and asked if they could do gluten free, and they said yes, and then I did everything right. Careful explanations, use of the Triumph dining card for the cooks, lots of questions and double-checking. It was just a simple salad with some goat cheese and plain pistachios with some balsamic and olive oil drizzled over the top. Annoyingly, they had actually stapled my order to the dining card and then thrown it away because I had to ask for it back, and it was filthy with holes in it--I've never had the experience where a waiter hasn't just given the card back without asking. But the real problem was that I was ill within five minutes of finishing the meal. I was sick for several hours, and I'm still feeling really sluggish today as well and my stomach is still off.

Though this restaurant claimed to be accomodating, they clearly had no idea about how to cater to gluten free needs. My confidence was so high because I hadn't had a single problem eating gluten free for the entire weekend, but I was sorely disappointed by this meal. There weren't many things on the brunch menu that could even be converted to gluten free meals, so I hoped that the salad would be ok. Obviously I was wrong. The truly unfortunate thing was that there were very few restrooms around, so it made that part of the illness very difficult to deal with, but the nausea, exhaustion, and all the other symptoms were just overwhelming. It's been a long time since I've experienced a glutening of this magnitude.

I am so sorry that you are so sick and that this really put a damper on your weekend. It is so frustrating to do everything right and have this result. I hope you feel much better real soon. Hugs.

Thanks for the kind words. This evening I was finally able to eat without feeling completely ill, so I'm definitely on the mend.

Yes, I did go to Risotteria, and I nearly cried when I saw the gluten free breadsticks on the table. I had such difficulty ordering because I wanted to order everything on the menu. I finally settled on pesto, mozerella risotto, which was absolutely amazing. I want to go back to the city just for the pleasure of going to Risotteria. It made my weekend.

I also went to Marseille on West 44th and 9th because I saw on CeliacChicks.com that a bartender/chef had marked up a menu, indicating which things were gluten free and which were not. I decided what I wanted to eat before I even showed up--the lamb. It was delicious, and then I had the best creme brulee for dessert. I just showed them my Triumph dining card, and the kitchen staff and waitstaff was already informed about what gluten free meant and how to cook the food. It was absolutely amazing! A bit pricey, but worth every penny.

I would highly recommend Marseille for those of you who haven't been. It seems that everyone has already discovered Risotteria, but that was my absolute favorite because I was able to eat with complete confidence.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      My doctor stated 4 slices of whole wheat bread for 4 weeks then take the blood work to diagnose. So I guess this is what I have to look forward to in the fall not to ruin summer plans with my family. I'm still confused on what the diagnose would tell me from the blood work. If it says Im gluten sensitive then I already know that from elimination diet and that won't help but how will the blood show vitamins I'm deficient in compared to my yearly physical blood work for vitamin results? Sorry I just get confused on what the blood results will tell me. If it's just to confirm gluten sensitivity then what good will that be as I've already eliminated gluten from my diet. Wouldn't adding gotten for 4 weeks just to confirm cause damage.

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I have positive Ttg-IGA antibodies- and I have every time they have been checked. Also the antibodies do respond positively to a gluten free diet. However my biopsy showed no damage and my doc said it all looked okay in there. How does this happen and What does this mean??

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By MO1984 · Posted

      I’ve got the patch, and then 100mg and says MFG XIROMED - is that generic manufacturer?  Pharmacist confirmed there’s no gluten, and im Not having celiac symptoms, just dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, which is why I’m looking at hormone influence on inflammation/autoimmune issues writ large, and not looking at the gluten specifically.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you for your message - essentially I have not been able to figure anything out on this front. From all I can find, and from people here have answered, then it is extremely unlikely that the progesterone should contain gluten. I have an endoscopy scheduled soon to see if there is damage, and to try and figure out what or where the issue stems from. I did have a stool test done, that did not contain gluten (while taking the progesterone pills).  So unfortunately I am still at a loss for answers.  Out of curiosity, which dose and manufacture of progesterone pills do you take?  I've tried both the 100mg and the 200mg progesterone pills, both from Aurobindo Pharm.

      I’m curious where you’ve ended up with this journey? I’ve just started HRT for perimenopause, and have been having dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, and even developed what seems to be a small patch of psoriasis (which I’ve not previously had)… basic googling has told me HRT can flare up some autoimmune diseases, including lupus and psoriasis, but dermatitis herpetiformis is not specifically mentioned.    so, I’m curious where you’ve ended up
