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

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
