Hi all,

My husband and I will be in Boston the weekend of the 24th and are looking for an up-scale restaurant for Sat night. We already have reservations at the Elephant Walk (with gluten-free menu) for Friday night.

I know what you are thinking..... any 'up-scale' place can do great gluten-free food on request. True, but I am interested in hearing of some specific examples of good (ie not TOO much hassle) experiences.

Thanks,

Pam

Call the Executive Chef at the Four Seasons, Boston.

I had a wonderful gluten-free meal there at a charity event. They gave me what everyone else was being served, but prepared it gluten-free.

I'm sure they could assit you, and there is a great view... right on Boston Common/The Public Garden... be sure to request a window seat!

Good Luck!

Joe's American Bar and Grill...not real upscale, but nice and down on Long Wharf, right on the Harbor. It's a local chain. I had my first meal as a diagnosed Celiac there and the waiter was very attentive and concerned and the manager came over and checked on my needs, as well.

There's also a PF Changs in the Park Plaza, I believe.

Good luck!

Pam,

Did you go to the Elephant Walk the weekend of the 24th?

I was going to make a reservation for my anniversary. Any feedback would be great!

Ruth,

Yes! We went and it was wonderful! They have three sections on their gluten free menu: 1) foods from the regular menu that are already gluten free 2) dishes that can be made gluten free with a substitution or two and 3) dishes that must be ordered 24 hours in advance to be made gluten free. I would not bother with the ordering ahead issue, because there were lots of great choices in the other two catagories. I had seafood salad for an app and seared tuna with two sauces for the entree. Fun food, too- Cambodian/French. I highly recommend The Elephant Walk!

We also dined at Spire, downtown in the NineZero hotel. Very fancy and also wonderful. The chef came out to consult with me and we had a nice chat about gluen-free diet restrictions. I had to set him straight because he thought that potatoes had gluten! But, to his credit, he did know that spelt, as well as wheat, rye, barley are off limit.

Have Fun!

Pam

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
