I found this great restaurant on glutenfreerestaurants.com.

Ciao's

5-7 John R Albanese Place

Eastchester, NY 10709

914-779-4646

I drove 35 miles to this restaurant in Westchester county from Long Island and it was certainly worth the trip.

The owner is extremely knowledgeable about celiac and how to prepare safe gluten-free meals. The grill in this restaurant is exclusively gluten-free. They offer gluten-free pastas, chicken, fish, veal, steaks and so much more. It was a great experience and I highly reccommend it.

I checked them out on-line what a great menu. You are so lucky. Thanks for the link glutenfreerestaurants.com

I headed there to see if anything is listed in my area. What happened to the midwest? Not a single listing. Bum.

You folks in the NE are so lucky.

Funny you should mention this place. We were just randomly talking about it over dinner about an hour ago.

Can I ask what you got there?

I went there when I was first diagnosed, had one of their pasta dishes and thought it was horrendous. I think I took about 3 bites and then just pushed the food around my plate.

I was just saying at dinner tonight how thank G-d I had already tried gluten free pasta for myself before going here otherwise I might have assumed that all gluten-free pasta was awful.

All that said, it was over a year ago that I was there and it is very possible they have changed pastas and made improvements since then.

Glad to hear you had a good experience.

I did not eat any of the pastas since I eat that at home. We ordered the Chicken Malanzana (has eggplant, mozzarella, and prosciutto) and the grilled rib steak. They were excellent. I still reccommend this place. Sorry to hear that your pasta was bad. I'll ask which brand they use before I order next time.

Hmmmm... well both of those sound yummy. Maybe I'll have to give them a second chance.

I'm finding it slightly humourous that I live in Westchester and drive out by you to go to Mama's and you live in Long Island and are driving by me to go to Ciao. LOL!!

My brother and sister-in-law live up in Westchester so that's why we are up there. Besides there are more gluten-free restaurants in Weschester ( 8) than on Long Island (2). I like Mama's but I've gotten sick with their chicken parm twice. Have you tried Four Doors Down in Buchanan? I'm thinking of going there next.

Is there any update about this restaurant? We are going to a party there. Just seeing if I can safely order a meal for my daughter. I called and they assured me they can do a safe gluten free meal and they've had no complaints.

In the 10 years since the last post, this place may have figured gluten-free out.  So I wouldn't trust any reviews that old.  You might check "Find Me Gluten Free" and see if there are newer reviews

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
