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!!

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.

      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

      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.
