Poughkeepsie Area Anyone?

I'm in the Poughkeepsie area and would love to meet some people from around there. I just got diagnosed a month ago, so this is fairly new to me. I feel like I'm getting okay at label reading for gluten, but now I have to throw milk into the mix. I'm getting a little bored with the diet. Anyway, just seeing if anyone else out there is from this area. If you are, please say where you shop and find the best selections for gluten-free/milk free food! Thanks :)

Hi there! I grew up in Ulster County and am moving back there in the spring.

FIrst of all, there is a very active Celiac Disease support group in Poughkeepsie. You can find more info here:

I don't know where to shop for food in Poughkeepsie (there are several stores with big gluten-free selections in New Paltz, however). But I do know of a few restaurants with gluten-free menus:

Soul Dog

Open Original Shared Link

It is run by a celiac family and they sell gluten-free hot dogs on gluten-free buns... gluten-free baked goods... etc

I live across the river in Wallkill. I am new at this Celiac/gluten-free life too. Just diagnosed 6 weeks ago. There is a Celiac support group the third Tuesday of the month at Vassar Brothers Medical Center. I have been to Soul Dog. It was great not to have to worry about how to ask for the food. I find myself always apologizing when I am out ordering food now. So few people understand when you are out at a restaurant. I bought a book from Triumph Dining which has a lot of good informaton in it for places to eat across the country. There are several places in Hyde Park and other towns in the Poughkeepsie area.

I am not sure if this helps you for shopping, but I know there are lots of Wegmans in NY since it is a NY based store. They are good for gluten free. They have a good sized selection of gluten-free pasta and cookies and such. Plus they label all their brand products which are gluten free with a G in an orange circle.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
