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.

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.

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.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By Dizzyma · Posted

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
