gluten-free Eating In Cape May Or West Cape May Nj

I am hoping we have nice warm weather while we are there. The temps keep getting warm than chilly. I guess in PA we should expect that. We are going to hit Cape May when we get there in the late morning-and stay until 2:30. Check-in at our hotel is 3. My best friend is a great photographer and she is going to take a nice picture of John and I on the beach with the lighthouse in the background. My mom wants a nice picture of all her daughters/signifigant others which is recent.

We want to shop in Cape May. I am hoping to get another purse. I bought a real cute one last year but I tore it when I needed something in a hurry one day. We are leaving Harrisburg at 7am that morning.

How was traffic heading down there? I would think it would not be as hectic as during the summer season.

We are leaving on Saturday morning. We stay in Wildwood at a hotel we have always stayed at for years now. The weather still looks good for the weekend. I am hoping it stays that way. Nothing worse than a soggy beach. It usually takes us about 1 and 1/2 hrs to get to the Norristown exit of the turnpike, then we take the Walt Witman across into Jersey. So it will take us over 3 hours but thats ok. Much worth the wait.

Hi Judy!!!

I am so sorry I forgot to respond, here's the details.

Cape May was great, it was right back to work and the hospital has been nuts so I didn't even get a chance to reply in that thread. The weather was great and I even was in the ocean. It rained while we were on the boardwalk. I was bitten by a large hermit crab while on the boardwalk and for 5 minutes the store owners could not get him unlatched, he was on my palm. I still have the marks from where he bit in, it got swollen and was very painful for a few days.

We ate at the Ugly Mug, and I enjoyed a great meal. We cooked at the condo before we went to the boardwalk, prices are outrageous there. I did get dippin dots though.

There were some moments of tension between my friend and the rest of us. In a way I was ready to come home.

I guess I am starting up an old post. I am going to my brothers tomorrow, in Gilbertsville, and we are leaving early Sat. to spend the day in Cape May. From reading all of your posts, which have been extremely helpful, we have decided to try the Belle Vida. Maybe I will have a chance to try the gluten-free bread. What a nice treat to have in a restraunt. I thought those days were over!!!!! I was hoping someone might give us an idea of where the restraunt is located. That will give us more time for shopping and hitting the water!!!

I will write back and let you know how the weekend went. Also a Pennsylvanian, from the Williamsport area, I was wondering if anyone has shopped at the Gluten Free Source located in Dillsburg. I was hoping to find out if it was worth the trip. We are going a bit out of our way while traveling to Gilbertsville and eating at the Powerhouse Eatery. I was told they will accomadate the Gluten Free diet. I believe that the owner's wife has celiac. I will update everyone on that as well. I greatly appreciate this post and hope I can find directions before we take off. Nice chatting with everyone. :P

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      I finally got rhe answer and Tylenol is ok. Thanks everyone

      If you're still eating gluten, I'd ask your doctor for a proper blood panel, specifically tissue transglutaminase IgA, total IgA, and maybe deamidated gliadin peptide tests. Home tests aren't always reliable. Since you mentioned fatigue and weight loss, it's worth checking for nutrient deficiencies too (iron, B12, vitamin D). Even if it's not Celiac, those labs can point to malabsorption issues.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!
