Hi-

I am traveling to western MA (springfield area, possibly northampton). Is anyone aware of gluten free/gluten free friendly restaurants ( or even friendly grocery stores)?

Thanks!

Hi there are lots of places to eat in this area. There is a great thai food place called "thai garden" that is good about gluten free stuff....I get the chicken pad thai all the time and have never been sick. "Smokin Lil's" has a gluten free menu and its great bbq. "Sierra Grille is awesome and delicious and I have never had problems there - just need to ask what is gluten free etc..they are nice there. Amherst has "Butternuts" which has specific celiac menus and offers bread, beer, and all gluten free. There's a trader joes and whole foods in amherst and the Stop and shop in Noho has a decent gluten free selection. Let me know if you need any more info...I'm happy to help!

Hi Kristen & Melissa -

One small correction, Butternuts, TJ's and Whole Foods are all in Hadley, not Amherst. If you travel a little further up rte. 9 to Amherst, you will find a wonderful Chinese restaurant call Panda East. They are well educated and will happily cook for you and bring you gluten free soy sauce and the manager will visit your table while you eat to make sure you are happy. There is also a Thai place in Amherst called Thai Corner and they will also cook gluten-free for you if requested. There are lots of options here.

Sadly my daughter is so sensitive that we have stopped eating out until we get at least one round of "normal" bloodwork (which will hopefully be soon) and then we're looking forward to cautiously trying a few of these little treats again.

Enjoy your trip to our "Happy Valley"!

      Gluten-Free Newbie

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By RMJ · Posted

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana

      The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer

      Julia530 - I have the same gene structure and most of the symptoms you have experienced plus more.....I agree with you whole heartedly!! There are approximately 10 (NOT TWO) genes that can predispose a person to having Celiac Disease. I read in Pub Med that HLA DQA1:05  can result in Celiac Disease in approximately 1 in 875 people. While it is obviously more rare it is NOT BENIGN and should not go unnoticed. Go get the book "NO GRAIN, NO PAIN" and I highly suggest you read it cover to cover. It is written by a Chiropractor who quit his medical education when the VA wouldn't allow him to treat the Veterans with debilitating arthritis with a grain free diet. I have been grain free for over 10 years now.....the facts are we are being lied to! There is a form or gluten in every protein in every grain on the planet of which there are 1000 or more. Just because all they are testing for is the Gliadin in wheat is no excuse to report only partial facts.
