My grandmother lives in a small town in Massachusetts, but we drive through Fall River to get there! I'm SO excited. We're not visiting until summer, but I'm already salivating.

Thanks so much for sharing!

thanks for the update. i have finally been diagnosed with celiac the week before christmas. took 6 months to finally get a right diagnosis. its good to know about other rest in mass. i also went ot a new rest tonight called Scutra in Arlington. The chef/owner was amazing. He personally came out and knew about Celiac and discussed my options. I have never felt safer eating in a rest. I highly recommend this place to anyone with any type of food allergy. Scutra in Arlington Ma. Thanks for the heads up about the diner for breakfast.

Hi, I'm new on this forum. My husband and son both have Celiac Disease and so far the only luck we have had for restaurants was Outback. We live in Mass so thanks for the posts on these two restaurants. I can't wait to take them. We don't live particularly close to either place but it would be nice for a special occasion.

Thanks,

Laura

i had veal tenderloin, butternut cup rissotto and brocolli rabe. the chef had come out to speak with us and asked me what i thought looked good and he made it work. I went to order the sorbet for dessert and he sent out the waiter and explained that i could not have it because an ingredient contained gluten. they were very nice. they have seafood and veggies too. it was a little pricey but it was worth it nowing i wasn't going to feel sick later. i also go to the elephant walk here in cambridge. i have a book that says the waterstreet cafe in fall river has gluten-free pasta and specialty items ie:bread, beer etc on their menu. you are suppose to call ahead to confirm availability. no gluten-free menu but plenty off items that are gluten-free. i havent' tried it yet. good luck

This is such an old post that I am wondering if anyone can update me as to whether this restaurant still exists. I live pretty close to Fall River and would love to go out to breakfast again.

I live in CT (not RI), and haven't been to Alice's, but their website Open Original Shared Linkis up & running and highlights gluten-free!

Thank you Babysteps, I don't know why I didn't check for a web page, must be the "fog" you are all talking about.

I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago by biopsy. My mother had Celiac Disease for the last 20 years of her life and I was her caregiver, so I am pretty familiar with it. But wow have things changed in the three years since she has passed and I haven't kept up. Being able to have distilled vinegar is HUGE! My Mom would have had so many more choices had that been discovered before she passed. She would have been so happy to have been able to have pickles. She had Alzheimer's the last ten years along with her celiac disease. The last two years it was very difficult at the Nursing home. They just didn't get it and constantly messed up. It seems that now the awareness has increased by leaps and bounds, I wish she had had these advantages. I mean when "Betty Crocker" starts making gluten-free mixes you know other companies will follow soon. And by the way, I made the chocolate cake last night as cupcakes with Duncan Hines frosting. Absolutely delicious! My husband, neighbor and daughter even loved them. Nobody would guess they were gluten-free. I froze a bunch of unfrosted ones for my future sweet tooth attacks.

Alice's is still there and open. I live about 45 minutes away from there and to be honest, have not made the trek to have breakfast. I hate to say this but after 4 1/2 years gluten-free, I do not crave waffles or pancakes so wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. If I were traveling in the area, I would definitely go but cannot give you a review on their food myself. However, everyone else I know who has gone says it's wonderful and the food is great!

I've only been diagnosed for a few weeks so I'm still craving fried seafood! I already told my hubby to plan on lunch this weekend. Are you in RI or MA Gemini? I'm in MA, about 35 mins North of New Bedford.

Maddy1-

search this forum for "clams" or "woodmans" - At least 2 of the famous clam places in Ipswich/Essex have lots of gluten-free choices, so if you're willing to travel a bit further than half an hour, you could get a fix there, too.

Or go to the restaurant section of the forum - I think there's a semi-recent thread there too.

Good luck, happy eating!

We must be really close to each other! I am in Mass, near Framingham. I shop at the Bellingham Whole Foods market every week. :D

Check out my post on the "Restaurants" thread.......For New England Celiacs. It has a great listing, by state, where you can get gluten-free food. As mentioned in another post, you should try Woodman's in Essex, Ma. for fried clams/seafood. They have Celiacs in the family and have a dedicated fryer just for us! The food is absolutely delicious and worth the drive. It does get VERY crowded at this time of year, though. I spoke with the manager a while back about their menu and she was so nice and helpful. They don't have a gluten-free menu BUT all you have to do is tell them you are Celiac and they will know what to do. I have never gotten sick there and it's the BEST fried food around.

There is also a Mexican place in Plainville, right off of Rt. 495 called Rancho Chico. The gluten-free menu is limited but very good and it's a separate menu. They also have delicious sangria, if you are into those types of drinks. ;) The nacho chips are delicious and gluten free...they serve them warm. Yummo!

BTW...the website I have linked on my other post does gluten-free dine-outs and I have been to quite a few of them. If you are interested, I will let you know when the next one is. It's a great time and place to meet many other Celiacs and we always have a good time. It's not a support group but a dine out group. We go to many of the restaurants listed on that site.

Welcome to Celiac-world! Don't sweat it as there are many good places to dine out near us....you will not feel deprived.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
