Niagara Falls

Starting planning a little early but I'm considering a trip to Niagara Falls for a 25th anniversary trip (Sep 07). It will be the first major trip since my diagnosis. Initial websearches suggest I should stay on the Canadian side. I'm looking for suggestions for restaurants mostly but would welcome tips on hotels, side trips etc.

Our tenative plan is to take about a week and drive up through central PA and NY, spend two nights at Niagara Falls and then drive back to Virginia on a more westerly loop. Suggestions for side trips, hotels and restaurants along the way would also be helpful. I've found railroad museums and sports halls-of-fame for me but I dont' think my wife would see those as "romantic" enough for an anniversary trip. :lol:

If you make a side trip through Lancaster County PA there's a really cool old railroad called Strasburg railroad. They still have an old steam engine running that you can take a ride on. It's actually very romantic riding the train. I think they're still open in September. Open Original Shared Link

HI, I also I'm planning my first vacation after celiac to niagaras falls in the summer for July 2007. I would love get info on restaurants and hotels.

I second Angie's suggestion about the Strasberg Railroad. It's great--we've taken the trip several times, always in the open car. (Of course, we are always there in the warmer months)

Hi,

The Keg Steakhouse is a chain in Canada and they are very accomadating to Celiac's. There is a Keg that is on the 13th floor of the Raddison ( I think !!). They offer fallsview tables, which are amazing. We took my daughter there last summer and they were wonderful.

Hope this helps.

Parks with waterfalls seem to be a theme along with some art museums.

Celiac-friendly dining suggestions in any of those locations would be appreciated.

PS- our 5 year wedding anniversary is september 7!! Congrats!!

We are having our anniversary dinner at the place we were married, "Beardslee Castle"- it is haunted! check out their website Open Original Shared Link

This will be my first time there in a year as I have just found out they have a gluten-free menu-

if it's on your way- stop by- about 10 minutes off the NYS thruway EXIT 29- Little Falls----

it is DEFINTELY WORTH A VISIT!!!

They dn't have the gluten-free menu listed oline as it is just a sample, their menu changes weekly according to what is fresh or in season

Tim-n-VA Contributor

Thank you for the info.

Congratulations on your anniversary.

I re-read my original post and realize that in trying to say Sep 2007 I implied the actual date was Sep 7. It is later in the month so other suggestions aren't too late.

juliela - Thanks again. We missed some of those due to seasonal hours but pizza at Slice of Napa was great. We also hit Bonefish in Eastview Mall.

I just went to slice of napa a couple weeks ago! Wasn't it delicious? there was some kind of town fair going on, so we sat on the front porch, had pizza, wings and people watched. a nice little town I think.

Hope your trip went well and you got to enjoy some good food!

Julie

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
