How Easy In The Big Easy

Hi,

I've been scavenging for restaurant ideas for my visit to New Orleans next week. My gal pals are also diet conscious (one's borderline diabetic) and they want to go to HerbSaint on St. Charles. Anyone eaten there?

As far as gluten free recommendations I have so far:

NOLA

Acme Oyster House

Emeril's

Red Fish Grill

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm from New Orleans and I'm thinking hard.

A good resturant, slightly expensive, hard to get into, but doesn't take reservations is Galatoirs. Not sure how gluten free they are but have handled other dietary needs in the past.

The problem is alot a new orleans food depends heavily on bread pasta, bread crumbs, french bread.

When do you need this info by and what area are you staying in? Will you have car access? The area and car access I can give you a few more not immediatley in the city.

Also which Emrils? There are several and I'm not sure whioh ones if any have reopened since Katrina.

OK, got a hold of the list my dad's doctor gave him. May or may not be 100% accurate, but it's what others have said.

Irene's Cuisine #504-529-8811

Mike Anderson's Seafood #504-524-3884

Also Court of Two SIsters is known for attempting to accodomate any dietary needs. They can't promise, but often call you back once you call them to try and take care of any needs.

Dessert- Aunt Sally's Pralines in the French Quater right outside the French Market are terrific. Mayde or brown sugar, vanilla and pecans. (pretty sure they have a sugar free one)

If Commander's Palace has reopened the food is incredible and they know about gluten.

It was heavily damaged by the hurricane, though.

No Commander's Palace has not opened.

Also, bring snacks for late night snacking. There is no such thing as the late hours, like most fast food and stores are. The 24 hour Wal-MArt Supercenter closes at 11 (that's progress). Most of the city business, nationwide chains or not close by 9. Finding a fast food place open past 8 is hard.

Thanks, y'all! I had a great time! The pralines, seafood, and especially the hushpuppies were AWESOME!

So, where did you go? I'm about to go to New Orleans for 5 days, and I'm gluten/dairy/soy-free. I'm staying at Canal & Bourbon, and I won't have a car. So - any recommendations? Where did you get reliably gluten-free hush puppies? I'd LOVE some of those! :)

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.
