I am looking for the names of some gluten free friendly restaurants in Philly. I will be there on Sunday for the Franklin Institutes display of King Tut. We are going to be there around 1ish and would like to have a gluten free place to have an early dinner. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

:lol: Isis is the Egyptian God of Domestic Tranquility. We have have a statue of Isis. Last night he reached over it to turn out a light and he knocked it over and it broke. So much for the domestic tranquility for now!!!

It's kind of late information if you're headed to Philly on Sunday, but I ate at Sazon, tonight. It's on SpringGarden Street - kind of sketchy neighborhood, but cute BYOB resturant. We were there around 5pm, and had the place to ourselves. Helpful staff too!

It's a Venezualan (sp?) restaurant they have empanadas and arepas which are made out of corn!! Says wheat free on the menu! My sister and I tried two different arepas, which were yummy! If you're with adventurous eaters I would recommend it.

Great flan for dessert, too. Today they had coconut flavor, chocolate flavor, and pumpkin flavor (which tasted just like pumpkin pie!)

Under $30 for our two sandwiches, a side of plaintains, a shared dessert and drinks - and I'm still full many hours later!

Have a great time at the musuem. I heard the exhibit is awesome!

Hope I'm not too late either, but El Vez is very gluten-free friendly (and YUMMY!). Just last night we went to the Mexican Post in Fairmount Park. They were so nice and accommodating. We brought our own bag of Tostitos to enjoy our own dish of salsa and guacamole (daughter and I are gluten-free) and they were so nice about finding out what we could have and substituting corn tortilla for flour.

Have fun! I LOVE Philly!!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
