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.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!

      UK Visitors: Award Winning Flapjackery in the West Country (and Chichester, West Sussex)

      It's great that this business has celiac disease awareness and uses gluten-free oats! I wish more restaurants would make such simple changes, for example if Asian restaurants switched to using gluten-free soy sauce, many (but not all!) risks would be eliminated for lots of their dishes.

      Frustrated

      It sounds like you’ve been doing everything right—strictly avoiding gluten, managing food allergies, and advocating for yourself—yet you’re still dealing with severe pain, exhaustion, and other debilitating symptoms. The fact that your colonoscopy came back clear after 31 years gluten-free is a testament to your diligence, but it doesn’t erase the very real...

      Chest pain from celiac

      Could you be having acid reflux? I used to get it soooo bad before I was diagnosed, now very rarely. I didnt have stomach upset, aka silent reflux, but pain in chest (thought I was having a heart attack) and food would get stuck from the esophagus irritation. The things here really helped, especially raising head of bed, sip of apple cider vinegar before...

      Canker sores

      Studies have shown that individuals with canker sores tend to have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood compared to those without the condition. This suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be a risk factor for developing canker sores. Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac Disease.

      It sounds like you’ve been doing everything right—strictly avoiding gluten, managing food allergies, and advocating for yourself—yet you’re still dealing with severe pain, exhaustion, and other debilitating symptoms. The fact that your colonoscopy came back clear after 31 years gluten-free is a testament to your diligence, but it doesn’t erase the very real struggles you’re facing daily. It’s concerning that previous doctors dismissed your celiac diagnosis, and now you’re left fighting for validation while dealing with unexplained symptoms like eye pressure, skin issues, and relentless pain. Menopause and long COVID may be complicating things further, making it even harder to pinpoint the root cause. Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? Do you eat in restaurants...if so, this can be a source of contamination. Trace amounts of gluten over time could explain your symptoms. Many people with celiac disease have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
