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! :)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
