ABSOLUTELY!! Mama's in Oakdale has a gluten free menu that is quite extensive. They also have pizza which I have not tried. I was there a few weeks ago and the chef made gluten free raviolis as the special and they were AMAZING!!! He actually came to the table to see how I liked them. I know there is also Carrabbas in Smithtown area as well. There are also two legal sea foods on long island, outbacks, and PF Changs that all have gluten free menus. Another great Italian place is Cafe Baldo in Wantaugh - they also ahve gluten-free menu.

Good Luck!!

Thank you so much! I live in the ridge, rocky point area, so that's not too far away. I will have to try both the ravioli and the pizza.

Enjoy!! Ravioli is/was my favorite food and I'm telling you they are so good! I had him make it parmesan!!! So delicious...

Yup Mamma's is great for pastas and deserts.

If you like steak check out J&R's. I live right behind the place and am there about once a week. Any of the unmarinated steaks with a baked potato or veggie. Haven't had a problem other then the steak with shrimp scampi. The shrimp were breaded.

mama's is the best better then baldo's in my opinon. that being said i have never had better ravioli then the safe harbor foods brand. i have only found them at b wells in plainview, not sure if it is there own brand or not. call before you go, they seem to run out quickly. ;)

It is not possible to say enough amazing things about Mama's. They are beyond incredible!! The owner was telling me before the holidays that he was planning on making gluten free ravioli after the new year. I'm so psyched to hear he's making them now. Looks like I may be going there tomorrow. :P

I actually come from Westchester to go there; that's how good it is.

Also, I don't know how often you are in the city, but you have to go to Risotteria for pizza.

Thank you all! My husband and I went to Mama's last night, and you are all so right. They were wonderful. I had the ravioli and my husband had veal parmasan with spaghetti. They both were amazing! The owner came to the table to talk to us and he was so friendly. Everyone there was so friendly and pleasent, plus the atmostphere was so nice. He said they also make canolis, can't wait to try them.

Again, thank you all.

Next, we're going to the Outback.

I've been making bread from a mix called Gluten-Free Pantry. It's very good and the bread from Mama's tasted just like it.

      I never had bad stomach issues before I was diagnosed.  What I did have was anemia  and hashimoto's thyroid disease. The celiac was suspected because I had to keep taking higher and higher doses of synthroid just to try to get out of hypothyroidism and also the unresolved anemia.  Once I had the blood tests,  celiac was confirmed.

      It is rather amazing to me that I was able to follow, in a general way, your reasoning in this scientific  thesis. It is very good work on your part taking different research papers and tying the information together if not for a cure for celiac disease, the ability to decrease the symptoms of celiac disease and other autoimmune conditions. Now if you can get this into the scientific conversation about autoimmune  problems. I hope so. On a more practical level please give me the name of the thiamine that you recommend. I forgot to copy it the last time you shared it.    Thanks

      Hi Kelly, We have had at keast 2 discussions abour people with Celiacs moving into assisted living. . No easy solutens to the problems  Celiacs face  when they cannot eat the food served so they need to prepare their own meals or order gluten-free meals.  You seem to be coping quite well. It is not clear to me whether you are suffering because you miss the companionship of shared meals or are a little outraged by the unfairness of your situation/ It is unfair but if you managed to force the  facility to provide a gluten-free kitchen they would go bankrupt.  Just too expensive. Many of the residents would become outraged at not eating the gluten foods they love to eat. .I think you have adapted very wellIf this place does provide some foods that are gluten-free but cross contaminated you may be able to use an antigluten enzyme that you could take with meals. The one advertised here, GliadinX works well for me. Bring your own bread and pastries from your freezer. I sympathize. You could still follow through with the suggestions Scott and Trents made.

      Hi everyone,   I've been struggling with identifying food triggers beyond gluten — things like dairy, soy, corn, and various FODMAPs. Elimination diets are incredibly helpful but the tracking part is a real pain.   I recently came across an app called Tract (tract.health) that's specifically designed for gut health tracking with IBD, IBS, celiac, and elimination diets. It lets you log meals, symptoms, bowel movements, and stress all in one place, and uses AI to help identify patterns between what you eat and how you feel.   For those of us dealing with multiple food intolerances on top of celiac, something like this could be really useful — especially when you're doing a low-FODMAP or specific carbohydrate diet and need to see correlations over weeks of data.   Has anyone here tried it or something similar? Would love to hear what tools others are using to track food intolerances beyond just gluten.

      I take B12 and Vitamin D (1000 I.U) as well. I can't take 500mg twice a day, only once due to cost reasons. I'm getting more than the minimum rda of Niacin in my diet but not supplementing it.
