I will be traveling to Santa Fe, New Mexico at the beginning of August and I was wondering what I should do there and also what advice you might have for gluten free shopping and going to restaurants there?

We have plenty of places to shop. We have whole foods, and wild oats, and even cheaper is vitamin cottage which carries a lot of the same stuff. As for restaurants, most standard new mexican food is naturally gluten-free. Most things that are made with flour tortillas can easily be made with corn instead. Having said that, since i was just diagnosed a couple weeks ago I haven't ventured out too much to verify that it is indeed gluten-free. My mother however has been eating gluten-free here for years without much problem. I am planning on going out thursday night and will post back any news. As for things to do, theres plenty of gluten-free hiking, biking and shopping :)

Chocolate Maven has gluten-free desserts... what a wonderful bakery! And I just heard (but haven't confirmed) that Harry's Roadhouse (locals' favorite!) has gluten-free baked goods, too.

I lived in NM for a long time. Enjoy the mexican food! Most chile colorado and chile verdes are gluten-free, just ask fi they add flour. Usually it's just pureed chiles. Ranchero sauce is almost always gluten-free. Yum, just thinking about flat enchiladas with some carne adovado is making my mouth water. Stay away from tostadas, chimichangas, sopapillas, tortilla bowls because even if they're made with corn, they deep fry in the same oil as flour tortillas. Enchiladas are a great choice, along with carnitas, carne adovada, fajitas, tampiquena. YUm YUm :D

Hi again,

Just updating in case people are searching for Santa Fe...

Chocolate Maven - had a really nice breakfast with my daughter there yesterday. The waiter brought me some wonderful home-made corn tortillas instead of toast, though. I searched for the gluten free desserts, but there were only macaroons.

Udi's Bread - my absolute favorite sandwich/toast bread (whole grain) - they have this at Whole Foods. The bread is in the bread section, but in the frozen section they also have Udi's blueberry muffins.

Vinaigrette - GREAT! I could eat nearly everything (and at the moment I'm dairy-free, too). Really wonderful salads, and all but two dressings were gluten and dairy free. It's kind of hidden, but right near downtown.

Paisano's in Albuquerque - I haven't tried this yet, but someone told me about it. I looked at the website, and I'm really excited to try it if we get down to Albuquerque.

India Palace - they have a lunch buffet and I could eat everything but the Naan (and the tandoori chicken because of the yogurt - so it's only a dairy issue). They cook with ghee, not butter. The buffet is really great - a sort of upscale buffet. You can also order from the menu at lunch time, so if you want pakora - chickpea flour! - you can add that.

Kohnami - Guadalupe St. - A sushi place. I bring my own wheat-free soy sauce. I never asked if they had any - probably should ask and stop carrying this little container around!!

I'm not even including New Mexican restaurants, because there are a lot of options, and if you stick to corn tortillas and be sure to ask how they thicken their chile sauce (flour v. cornstarch) then it's pretty safe.

Hope this helps people who are visiting our city - enjoy!

Hi,

I'm going to Sante Fe next week. Are there any other restaurants that have gluten free menus?

I am particularly interested in finding gluten-friendly restaurants within walking distance of the old, historic shopping district.

Thank you so much for any assistance!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
