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

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
