Wendys - frosty, chili, some of the salads. Meat patties (burger without the bun) Caution here - I watch like a hawk at wendys cause more than once , I saw them take the meat off the bun to put it in a tray. I just say : excuse me but it needs to be right off the grill otherwise my son/daughter will get violently ill.

comfort foods - corn chips with melted cheese and salsa to dip

ask chef at restaurants if they are knowledgable about gluten free - and what they can offer you that is not cross contaminated etc.

chocolate, glorious choclate - caramilk, jersey milk, crispy crunch (at least in Canada)

Nantzie Collaborator

Don't know about the restaurants. Other than PF Changs and Outback, who both have gluten-free menus.

Here's some mainstream snacks though

Cool Ranch Doritos.

Cheetos

Lays Stax

Fritos

Reese's PB Cups

M&M's (all but the crispy kind I believe)

Butterfinger's

None of the crispy rice chocolate bars are gluten-free in the US (they add barley malt). Might have to go to Canada to get some...

Outback Steakhouse, PF Changs, and even some Old Spaghetti Factories have gluten free menus. Outback's Chocolate Thunder from Down Under is a flourless brownie . . . so you can eat that!

Good luck!

Okay, so I just realized that Nantzie posted this information right before I did. Sorry! I skimmed her post too fast!

CarlaB Enthusiast

Bonefish Grill, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Maggiano's, Carrabas can also accomodate gluten-free.

Grilled chicken salad at Chick-fil-a -- without the croutons and without the sunflower seeds, but you can use the tortilla stips. Their waffles fries are also okay.

amber-rose Contributor

I dont know if anyone has listed this one yet.

Claim Jumper

Here's the link, but i dont know where you live, because they're only in Arizona, California, Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, & Washington. But they're opening up two in Oregon also.

If you ever go into the city, there are some great options. One of our favs when we visit is Rissoteria in the Village. Gluten Free Pizza & breadsticks!

Just out of curiosity, why are you whey-free?

Mal Explorer

see thats funny u asked, i was just asking my mother the same question today, my chef here at school had said something about it, but I think i can have it, i have to call my doctor!

does anyone have any problems with whey?

hez Enthusiast

I do not have any problems with whey. Whey is dairy so if you are avoiding dairy (many people do especially when starting the gluten-free diet) you will have to watch out for it. However, if you are just talking about gluten, whey is gluten-free.

Mal Explorer

hmmmm interesting....thankyyy <333 :D

Fiddle-Faddle Community Regular

Seems to me you you would either need to avoid ALL dairy--or none. Or am I missing something?

Mal Explorer

no im fine with eggs and cheese, so maybe im missing something and chef is loosing it...lol im eating something with whey in it right now - - - so i guess we will see how it sits...

Aerin328 Apprentice

Many celiacs are also intolerant to casein, the protein found in cow's milk (and in whey). (Enterolab automatically checks casein at the same time in their full celiac panel - www.enterolab.com )

Awesome restaraunt is Outback Steakhouse (mentioned above as well) - it's expensive but they have a gluten-free menu that tastes great!

Oh okay! We have Baldo's here in the bay area of CA. But the name is just Baldo's. I think its family owned here too, but they have all over Northern CA, so I thought maybe they put one in NY! lol. :P

:) You can also go to Trader Joe's in Merrick and Oceanside. Fairway in Plainview is the best for gluten-free food shopping. Wholefoods in Manhasset is also good. I would watch out for Cafe Baldo in Wantagh I got sick after eating there. Good Luck
new to LI Newbie

you aslo have jandi's in oceanside

rising tide in glen cove

trader joe's is also in plainview

the best in hicksville

ive been all over nassau in search for the best selection of gluten-free foods...

b well's has the largest selection of any store that i have been to.

fairway is getting better but it still is not there yet

jkmunchkin Rising Star

I just saw this thread.

Mama's in Oakdale is AMAZING!!!!! There are a few Mama's in Suffolk, but it's the one not affiliated with the others. You can get the address off the GFRAP website.

B Well in Plainview has a lot of good products that you won't find everywhere else.

Sweet Karma bakery in East Meadow that sells bagels and english muffins from a woman, Joan. They are the most incredible bagels. This is one of my favorite products.

This is not on Long Island, but my favorite bread for sandwiches is from a place in Chester, NY (up by Woodbury Commons) called the Gluten Free Bread Basket. You can order from their website and they will ship.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      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.

      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.

      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 🤍

      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.
