Baltimore?

Heading to Baltimore for Saturday night - last minute trip.

Need a place to grab dinner that night - and a possibility for breakfast/lunch Sunday morning.

I'll be staying across from Camden Yards - about 3 blocks from Inner Harbor.

Last time I was there I went to the California Pizza Kitchen - where a hot fudge sundae was all they could feed me.

Any suggestions?!

It would only be two of us dining, so small place or large place wouldn't matter........Thanks!

Down there in the inner harbour most places should be able to make something for you (sea food is big) and I know there is an Outback and a Mexican place that have gluten-free menus. Enjoy the city, AmyBeth- it's fabulous.

www.austingrill.com is a Washington DC local chain and has a location in Baltimore. I don't know exactly where it is, but there is info on their webpage. They have a gluten free menu and it is online. They also do brunch on the weekends.

Enjoy :)

I'm not familiar with too many places in the Inner Harbor area, but definitely check out Austin Grill's website. I've been to the one in Bethesda and their food was AWESOME! Then again, I love Mexican food.

Thanks for your advice!

We ended up going to McCormick and Schmick's (sp?) M&S Grill. It's right along the Harbor. The managerial staff was awesome - spoke directly to the chef and TOTALLY made me feel 100% confident that I would be taken care of. Great meal --- shrimp cocktail, salad with balsamic dressing, and scallops in white wine butter sauce. (This was NOT on their menu). The manager assured me that the chef, Adam, was very familiar with food intolerances, and he was right. Not a single problem. The side dishes (veggies) were without sauce and seasoning, so I felt totally safe!

Only problem - was the only dessert they could offer was some ice cream, but I was so full from dinner that wasn't even necessary!

Before I left I asked to speak with the management and thanked them for making me feel secure and relaxed while dining there - they were so appreciative! They gave us free cookbooks on our way out the door.

On Sunday morning, we hit Austin Grill - A short drive from the harbor - and with their own free 3 hour parking. An Outback steakhouse was in the same shopping center.

I ordered the Migas Plate. - it was ok. They have a printed gluten-free menu, and it was helpful with placing my order.

However, my vegetarian friend ordered a dish with refried beans and come to find out they use a pork broth in the beans!!!!!!!!! The black beans were fine, but she was not feeling too well (she doesn't tolerate meat well anymore) and couldn't believe they added meat to the beans. HUH?!!?!?!?

I was pleased (and full!) with my dining experiences in Baltimore!

Glad to hear you had a great dining experience. I was down Inner Harbor in July after John was to see his oncologist at Hopkins. I ddin't have a lot of time to look for something and we ended up getting fries. Hopefully when we go for his next appointment I will find something good.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      Welcome to the forum, @Mark Conway! Can you be more specific about the "coeliac" test your doctor did? There are more than one of them. What was the name of the test? Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      First, I want to say thank you for sharing this with me. I hear you, and I believe you. The courage it took to write this down is immense, and I’m so sorry you’ve been carrying this alone.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative...

Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you are IGA deficient, the IGA celiac blood antibody tests used to check for celiac disease per se will not be accurate. Also, if you have been cutting back on gluten before the tests, that will render them invalid. You must have be eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months before the blood draw to render valid test results.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help. I've had stomach problems for years, pain in the tummy, lower back left and right side, different stools, diarrohea constipation etc, My GP says it's IBS. As I've got older the pain has become worse and constant. I also get ulcers on my tongue. I've had loads of tests done everytihng apart from an endoscopy I think. I had a test for Coeliac last July and the result was negative. My GP says it can't be coeliac because I'm not losing weight. He thinks it's stress or all in my head. I'm not stressed and I'm in pain all the time now. Sometimes it's unbearable and dark thoughts have entered my head. Could I have Coeliac even though I tested negative last year. I'm at my wits end, I eat healthily and cannot pinpoint which foods could cause this pain. Can anyone help? Thanks Mark wind

      First, I want to say thank you for sharing this with me. I hear you, and I believe you. The courage it took to write this down is immense, and I’m so sorry you’ve been carrying this alone. You are dealing with two life-altering challenges at once: a serious, complex medical condition, and an abusive, controlling partner who is actively harming your health and your spirit. It’s not just that he’s unsupportive—he is weaponizing your illness to torture you. Starving you, isolating you, mocking your diagnosis, and sabotaging your access to medical care is not just cruelty; it is dangerous, deliberate abuse. Your instinct is correct: the stress he is creating is absolutely preventing your body from healing. Celiac and autoimmune conditions are profoundly sensitive to stress, and he has created a living hell designed to keep you sick, dependent, and broken. That smirk you described—that is the look of someone who enjoys having power over your suffering. Please know this: you do not deserve this. Not any of it. You deserve to eat. You deserve safe, clean food and water. You deserve medical care and supplements that help you function. You deserve peace. You deserve to heal. The woman from the food pantry is not a random accident. She is a lifeline. Her help, and the community she’s connecting you to, is real. It is okay to feel overwhelmed by kindness when you’ve been starved of it for so long. But you do deserve it. Let that be a sign that there is a world outside your house that operates on compassion, not control. Right now, your physical safety and access to nutrition are the most urgent priorities. The food pantry is a critical resource. Is there any way you can speak privately with the woman helping you? You don’t have to share everything at once, but letting her know your situation at home is extremely unsafe, and that your partner restricts your food, could help her support you in a more targeted way. She may have connections to local domestic violence services.

      Don’t forget that quite a number of gluten free products have elevated oxalates. Eg: spinach, chia seeds, almonds, and there are many more. All in high enough quantities contribute to toxicity and symptoms you describe. Not saying they are the absolute cause but high oxalates in horses and cattle are deadly-i have some (small) experience in this area. Whilst I am still learning about this as my grand-daughter is celiac I have to consider what I feed her. Maybe as an additional resource to all on this forum would be the purchase of Sally K Norton (MPH) “toxic superfoods” to give yourself some extra knowledge.  No harm in reading!!  Make your own mind up with additional knowledge!!  To Celiac.com:  keep up the good work as this is an area with so many black spots in our health system!!  Cheers.
