Chianti Cafe Beverly Ma

I had dinner last night with my sister in law at Chianti on Cabot St in Beverly MA and it was FANTASTIC. I called ahead and spoke to the owner Richard who told me that there were several gluten-free options on the menu, but that they also make zucchilini which is a pasta made from pure zucchini. He told me he'd let me try some even if I decided to order something else. There were so many gluten free options on the menu I didn't know what to do with myself. I had the vegetable risooto (delicious!) and the promised side of zucchilini- both were amazing....for dessert I had mango and apricot champagne sorbets.

It was so good and no reaction. he came out and talked to us for about 15 minutes. He was very sweet and excited that we were eating there as i'm celiac and my sil is vegetarian. He's planning on expnading the restaurant in the spring and adding more gluten-free and vegetarian options.

5 stars in my book. I wish I had four hands to give this place more thumbs up!

Excellent! By coincidence we have a Chianti Cafe here (completely unrelated, I'm sure, as Boston is a bit out of the way of Calgary) and we love it there. Ty always tells the server he wants "the usual". Then he has to explain that the usual is Fettucini Alfredo. Then we have to prompt him - what kind of Fettucini Alfredo? Oh yeah. Gluten Free. They use rice vermicelli noodles, but have told us they'll cook our noodles if we bring some in.

Oops. Just read that you said Beverly, MA. Beverly of Beverly. (My twins name is Beverly, but we call her Bev.)

No way! A twin named Bev! I NEVER meet people with my name! Cool.

Actually, she was named after a man. :ph34r:

My parents had wanted a boy, and ended up with two girls :o . I'm the second born twin and was completely unexpected. My parents told the fellow they were going to name their first born after that they couldn't because it was a girl. He said that his middle name was Beverly, and they were welcome to it if they liked it. Meanwhile, they had no name for me, so I was named after my father's favourite blind mining pony from when he worked in a coal mine on Cape Breton Island. :blink:

They did have a boy many years later.

OK- now that is HILARIOUS because I've always said that my name sounded like a burly, gruff weight lifting woman. "Hey Bev, can you bench press 300 yet". The only famous Bevs I know are weight lifters, 300 lbs opera singers. I like Beverly better anyway. It sounds a little more feminine. :P

So you were named after a blind mining pony in Cape Breton?Wow! Life is weird. Now, I'm Beverly in Beverly :ph34r:

      Can someone help explain my labs?

      I never had bad stomach issues before I was diagnosed. What I did have was anemia and hashimoto's thyroid disease. The celiac was suspected because I had to keep taking higher and higher doses of synthroid just to try to get out of hypothyroidism and also the unresolved anemia. Once I had the blood tests, celiac was confirmed.

      Is Thiamine Deficiency the Beginning of Celiac Disease?

      It is rather amazing to me that I was able to follow, in a general way, your reasoning in this scientific thesis. It is very good work on your part taking different research papers and tying the information together if not for a cure for celiac disease, the ability to decrease the symptoms of celiac disease and other autoimmune conditions. Now if you can...

      Retirement/assisted living facility and cross contamination in the kitchen

      Hi Kelly, We have had at keast 2 discussions abour people with Celiacs moving into assisted living. . No easy solutens to the problems Celiacs face when they cannot eat the food served so they need to prepare their own meals or order gluten-free meals. You seem to be coping quite well. It is not clear to me whether you are suffering because you miss...

      Why Some People Develop Celiac Disease Instead of Type One Diabetes?

      Very interesting article. My father had type one diabetes. I was always worried I would develop diabetes. I must have had the group that gave me celiac disease. I knew both were autoimmune diseases, but not how closely they were linked.

      Tracking food triggers with elimination diets — tried Tract app?

      Hi everyone, I've been struggling with identifying food triggers beyond gluten — things like dairy, soy, corn, and various FODMAPs. Elimination diets are incredibly helpful but the tracking part is a real pain. I recently came across an app called Tract (tract.health) that's specifically designed for gut health tracking with IBD, ...

Now if you can get this into the scientific conversation about autoimmune  problems. I hope so. On a more practical level please give me the name of the thiamine that you recommend. I forgot to copy it the last time you shared it.    Thanks

      Retirement/assisted living facility and cross contamination in the kitchen

      Hi Kelly, We have had at keast 2 discussions abour people with Celiacs moving into assisted living. . No easy solutens to the problems  Celiacs face  when they cannot eat the food served so they need to prepare their own meals or order gluten-free meals.  You seem to be coping quite well. It is not clear to me whether you are suffering because you miss the companionship of shared meals or are a little outraged by the unfairness of your situation/ It is unfair but if you managed to force the  facility to provide a gluten-free kitchen they would go bankrupt.  Just too expensive. Many of the residents would become outraged at not eating the gluten foods they love to eat. .I think you have adapted very wellIf this place does provide some foods that are gluten-free but cross contaminated you may be able to use an antigluten enzyme that you could take with meals. The one advertised here, GliadinX works well for me. Bring your own bread and pastries from your freezer. I sympathize. You could still follow through with the suggestions Scott and Trents made.

      Tracking food triggers with elimination diets — tried Tract app?

      By Rory Bokser · Posted

      Hi everyone,   I've been struggling with identifying food triggers beyond gluten — things like dairy, soy, corn, and various FODMAPs. Elimination diets are incredibly helpful but the tracking part is a real pain.   I recently came across an app called Tract (tract.health) that's specifically designed for gut health tracking with IBD, IBS, celiac, and elimination diets. It lets you log meals, symptoms, bowel movements, and stress all in one place, and uses AI to help identify patterns between what you eat and how you feel.   For those of us dealing with multiple food intolerances on top of celiac, something like this could be really useful — especially when you're doing a low-FODMAP or specific carbohydrate diet and need to see correlations over weeks of data.   Has anyone here tried it or something similar? Would love to hear what tools others are using to track food intolerances beyond just gluten.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      I take B12 and Vitamin D (1000 I.U) as well. I can't take 500mg twice a day, only once due to cost reasons. I'm getting more than the minimum rda of Niacin in my diet but not supplementing it.
