Gluten Free In Philly

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!!

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
