Would appreciate some suggestions for Gluten-free eating in Boston and in Baltimore. DH and I will be traveling next Month and would like nice dinners and average lunch place suggestions. Tried to do search on site but was overwelming, and does not specify what ones are related to search area request. Appreciate any help you may care to offer Thank you.

I can help with Boston. I regularly eat at Bugaboo Creek, Naked Fish, PF Changs china Bistro, Fire and Ice and Whole Foods market. There is a Bugaboo Creek in Watertown (Part of Boston). They have a gluten free menu. PF Changs is in the theatre district and has a great gluten free menu. Fire and Ice is in Harvard Square in Cambridge (Boston). Naked Fish is in Waltham (just outside boston). Also there is several Legal Seafoods in the Area. One is right by PF Changs. Also there is a deli in Harvard Square that makes sandwiches on gluten free bread. There is a thread is this restaurant section. I can't remember what it is called. There is a restaurant called Elephant Walk that does gluten free ( it is Indian ). You have to call ahead 24 hours. Whole foods are everywhere -Newton, Cambridge, Brighton - these are all in Boston. Great for a healthy inexpensive lunch. I also go to little Asian seafood place in Jamaica Plain (Boston) called JP Seafood. They have a sweet potatoe noodle dish and lots of rice and grilled fish or chicken. They understand gluten free. Make sure you bring your own sauce and go during slower hours. Also by Pf Changs there is Cold Stone Creamery where all the ice creams are gluten free except the obivious one that have cookies or cake in them. Make sure you have them put your ice cream in your container and not on the mixing slab. Stay away from the mix-ins. Have fun!!

Elephant Walk is French-Cambodian, not Indian; there are a few dishes they can make gluten-free that aren't ordinarily so, and those require you to call 24 hours in advance, but if you just walk in, you can also get their gluten-free menu and order most of the dishes on it. There are two restaurants, one in Brookline and one in Cambridge.

Fireplace in Brookline is very nice (very upscale, though) place that has a gluten-free menu; it's my new favorite, because the food there is terrific and they have a separate menu, though I cringe when I see the bill!

There's also a Wagamama in Quincy Market now, and they have a very limited gluten-free menu -- I've had one fabulous experience there, and one where I'm pretty sure I was glutened. (I think it depends on how busy they are, so you might want to go during off-peak hours)

Souper Salad also has a list of gluten-free meals; there's one by Government Center T-stop (so near Quincy Market/Fanueil Hall) and there may be others.

And I haven't been there yet (in Boston), but Maggianno's (the one by PF Chang's and Legal Seafood, off the Public Gardens and the Boston Common) supposedly now has gluten-free pasta.

Loraleena, thanks for the tip about the deli in Harvard Square -- I'll have to look for it!

There is also a place in Waltham which is not too far from Boston called Jakes Dixie Roadhouse. They do bbq and have quite a large gluten-free menu. I took my daughter to eat there recently and they seemed to be very knowledgeable about Celiac.

You can check out their website at www.jakes-bbq.com

Guest maybe I have celiac

You can try McCormick and Schmidts downtown at the Harbor, plenty of fish, shellfish. You can head out to DOck of the Bay in Eastern Baltimore, on Millers Island plenty of crabs, just be sure they are not steamed in beer. The is an Outback in the Canton district.

In Baltimore, try Austin Grill - it's Tex-Mex. Their gluten-free menu is online - Open Original Shared Link

There is one near government center (102 Water St, Boston, MA) (and that one was the one that had the gluten-free menu), but there are a whole bunch over the city. (you can use google maps to find them)

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions. 
    • knitty kitty
      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.
