My son's First Communion is in April. I need to find a restaurant I can safely eat at. Mama's is too far to drag the whole family to. I love their food. Cafe Baldo I'm not crazy about and its in my town. Are there anyother places in Nassau County? I want to be able to enjoy my son's day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Donna

Hey Donna,

They don't have a gluten free menu but Cafe Bacci (or Bacci Cafe, I forget which it is) on Old Country Rd in Westbury, is great for these type of events and they will be very accomodating for you. I went to a party for a Christening there several months ago, and they couldn't have been more helpful. I had a delicious rosemary chicken breast with roasted potatoes and deliciously seasoned vegetables.

I'll let you know if I can think of anywhere else.

There is a gluten-free restaurant in Wantagh too, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it is called. I know they have spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, pizza--lots of favorites. Is Wantagh too far away?

I actually live in Wantagh. The restaurant is Cafe Baldo. I have eaten there the food is alright. I was just wondering if there was something else.

Jillian,

I know what restaurant you are talking about. I'm definitely going to look into it. Would you believe I'm considering going up to Westchester for my son's party. Have you tried Four Doors Down in Buchanan?

Thanks for the suggestions.

I live in nassau county and the only other place I come up with (besides what has already been mentioned)are the steak places on northern blvd on north shore..I know one of them has gluten free menu online, maybe Ruth's Chris?? ANd peter lugar steaks are supposed to be gluten free. Not sure if you are a meat eater but most of those restaurants are very nice and I'm assuming would be very accommodating...htey also have private party rooms if you are having a large crowd...

Good luck!!

P.S. - and please let us know if you find any place different...

PF Changs in the Source Mall has a gluten free menu and it's a good place to go with a big group.

Legal Seafoods is great! We went there for my birthday and the managers take care of all the gluten-free orders. They were sooo great. We ordered the gluten-free calamari (which was not good, ps avoid the gluten-free fried seafood, not exciting) and we tasted it and dint like it at all but i figured wed bring it home and cook it with some sauce or something and they offered to take it off the bill for us. Soooo great there.

Also charlie browns steakhouses are really good and have gluten-free menus and great for big parties. Not sure where they are in nasssau but there is one in commack right off the sagitokos pkwy

Hey If you are planning on coming down to Westchester to go to Four Doors Down, You should go to Seasons instead. I have never been to Four Doors Down, so I would know if it's good or not. But On the other hand, I have been to Seasons and I know the owners, it's a great restuarant and it's a great place for parties. My dad was talking to the chef the other day about how much I like the restuarant and he explained to my dad that they are extra careful and he show him the kitchen.

Great suggestion, but I think that may be really far for her (and her family) to travel. That is easily 2 hours from where she is in Nassau county.

What town is this restaurant in? I have family in Briarcliff Manor and Ossining. I'm willing to make a trip for good and safe food. I have eaten at Ciao in Eastchester and that was worth the trip. Only 45 minutes away. Thanks for the info.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro!

Their symptoms overlap. The difference...

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.
