happy birthday!

i would call those from the list in advance, and see who is familiar, or look at the menus online and then see what ones you are fond of and speak with them.

My daughter has eaten at Johnny Rockets a few times. They have a gluten free menu online. She's had the fries and grilled chicken with no problems. Just call & double check that they have a dedicated fryer at that location.

I was at Mohegan Sun this past Friday. I was unable to eat anything at the BBQ resturant - all sauces have soy, and do list wheat as an ingredient. I was able to have grilled fish at "Summer Shack". I asked the waitress about gluten in the Chowder. She didn't go check, because she was "sure" it contained gluten. (I think she was just too lazy to go ask.)

Are we talking about the Mohegan Sun Casino in Scranton?

Hey, there are people from CT on the board, lol, I haven't seen any for a while. I have no idea about Mohegan Sun, but I can offer help with the Greater Hartford area :)

Amanda, I think the OP meant the one in CT as this is where they are from...but there's one in PA too? cool!

PA is finally allowing casinos....we are so behind. Mohegan Sun Casino in PA opened up last spring/summer I cannot even remember. But a month ago, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Raceway opened and that is 10 minutes from where we live. We were there today....I think Atlantic City is more fun.

No knowledge of Mohegan Sun restaurants - try calling the concierge at their top on-site hotel & ask them?? Or the "Eggs up Grill" the gluten-free restaurant in Portland CT, that's not so super far away, might have insight. Good luck and happy celebrating! Or Aleia's in Old Saybrook CT, same concept - close enough that they might know something.

But while we're on CT - had dinner recently at Ibiza in New Haven - called ahead to 'warn' them as I was part of a large group having a set (nothing to do w/gluten-free) menu. In my experience this can be tricky, but everything was wonderful! They substituted or adjusted everything, I only had to mention I was the gluten-free diner once, and when someone else at our table realized during course 3 that course 4 had shrimp in it, they brought him a shrimp-free version pronto. The substitutions were even thoughtful, for example course 1 was four small bites, one was a blue cheese croquette (covered in breadcrumbs) - their gluten-free substitute was a baby fresh mozarella on a skewer with a grape tomato. When I thanked Juan Carlos (the maitre d' --is that how it's spelled??) afterwards, he graciously thanked me and said as long as they have notice they are happy to accommodate.

Any other CT experiences to share? Hopefully the GFRAP list will grow, until then word of mouth (so to speak hee hee) is very helpful :)

I haven't made it down to Aleia's yet...but they sell their cookies at whole foods, and those things are AMAZING!!

Other CT restaurants I like:

-Manchester's Texas Roadhouse has a celiac manager, so although they don't have a gluten-free menu they'll hook you up :)

-Green Tea in Avon- Chinese Restaurant, and WOW are they helpful. I have talked to the same guy twice when I've ordered there (I think he might be a manager or owner or something) and he understands allergies really well. He made me special fried rice w/o soy sauce, and he even put my food in a separate bag, even though I didn't ask. And he knew not to put in fortune cookies!

-Chili's in Avon- their waitstaff is really well trained, I told the waitress I couldn't have wheat, and before I even had a chance to ask for the gluten-free menu, she said, "All gluten or just wheat?"

Hi there! I live in CT too. I just moved to CT a year ago and would love any tips on good restaurants that offer gluten-free menus in the Hartford area. Suprisingly, I have not found the restaurants in New Haven to be very accomodating.

Thanks!

Suprisingly, I have not found the restaurants in New Haven to be very accomodating.

Two downtown New Haven ideas:

Foster's (no gluten-free menu, but chef very accommodating, will come out & help you order, although he didn't know if the miso was actually all-soy or not so I avoided that, has a few gluten-free desserts, and can do gluten-free birthday cake if you call ahead)

Ibiza (ate there as part of a group, they were very aware, also dealt with another diner's seafood allergy well).

In both cases I'd make a reservation (phone or opentable) and note you're gluten-free. And re-announce that when seated & to your server.

One more idea, not as pricey - Uncle Willie's (barbecue) is now in New Haven on N Whalley Ave (up toward the Merritt), but not as good as they used to be imho - however, their ribs & brisket & pulled pork are all gluten-free, as is the vinegar-based dipping sauce (not sure about the other sauces). beans & rice is gluten-free as a side dish. It's still pretty good bbq (and fast) - I prefer Wilson's in Fairfield at the moment (ribs, brisket, pork all gluten-free; sausage is not).

Good luck dining!

Hey, all weekend away from computer and I forgot to post-

The arepas at Valencia in Norwalk (Main Ave) ARE gluten-free

and very tasty

these are Venzuelan corn cakes, fried, split and filled with your choice of items (breakfast or lunch)

Valencia is a tiny restaurant - really a lunch counter but no counter if that makes sense, just a few tables

Yummy food, kid friendly, perfect for breakfast or lunch (also open for dinner, although I've never been)

I'm very happy that Valencia can stay a part of my breakfast options now that I'm gluten-free

But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats.

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured...

      Thanks, I'm not a big fan of prunes but did add them back after stopping the Benefiber. Hoping for the best while I wait to hear back from Nutritionist for a different fiber supplement. Thanks again

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      If you were wondering why milk protein bothers you with Celiac Disease. Commercial dairies supplement the cow feed with wheat, which becomes incorporated in the milk protein. Milk omega 6 to omega 3 ratio: Commercial Dairies: 5:1 Organic Milk: 3:1 Grass fed milk: 1:1

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      Fiber Supplement

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Trish G,  I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well.  But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small intestines where our nutrients are absorbed.  If you have constipation, where your body is rather pushing your food away and not interacting with it, the nutrients in the food are not being released and absorbed.  You can develop deficiencies in all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the body to function properly.   The B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished daily.  Thiamine B 1 stores can run out in as little as three days.  Constipation (or diarrhea or alternating) is one of the first symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine needs magnesium, Pyridoxine B 6, and Riboflavin B 2 to make the intestinal tract function.  Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes.  Thiamine provides the energy for nerve impulses to carry messages to the brain and back about digestion.  Thiamine provides the energy for the muscle contractions which move your food through the digestive tract. High calorie meals containing lots of starches and sugars can deplete thiamine stores quickly because more thiamine is required to turn them into energy.   Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements?  Correction of malnutrition is very important in Celiac disease.  Thiamine, the other B vitamins and magnesium will help with constipation better than adding more fiber.  What did your nutritionist recommend you take, besides just the fiber? The association between dietary vitamin B1 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11100033/ Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Association between dietary vitamin B6 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11584952/

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured in blood tests. If you had already gone gluten free or if you had lowered your consumption of gluten before testing, your results will be inaccurate and inconclusive.   See link below on gluten challenge guidelines. Have you had any genetic testing done to see if you carry genes for Celiac disease?  If you don't have genes for Celiac, look elsewhere for a diagnosis.  But if you have Celiac genes, you cannot rule out Celiac disease. You mentioned in another post that you are vegetarian.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The best sources of the eight essential B vitamins are found in meats.  Do you supplement any of the B vitamins as a vegetarian? Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is strongly associated with anemia which can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Fatigue, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty with coordination, headaches and anemia are strongly associated with thiamine deficiency.  Other B vitamins that contribute to those symptoms are Riboflavin B 2, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9 and B12 Cobalamine.  The eight B vitamins all work together with minerals like magnesium and iron.  So your symptoms are indicative of B vitamin deficiencies.  You can develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies just being a vegetarian and not eating good sources of B vitamins like meat.  B vitamin deficiencies are found in Celiac due to the malabsorption of nutrients because the lining of the intestines gets damaged by the antibodies produced in response to gluten.
