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

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
